You can't. The charger/Octopus cannot "talk" to the car so we must work with adding a charge amount.

Happens in my Trophy, really annoying. Though I think in the latest update I had (1300R46) the fan speed doesn't do it any more, but I'd have to double check.

Isn't the Nav software separate from the infotainment. It is listed in the car with a different version number.

I disabled the "enhanced" sounds through the bodywork in my Golf R as I preferred the natural engine sound (albeit a bit quiter), and told the tuner not to add those artificial overrun pops and bangs that everyone has now. But then sadly I wasn't 20 anymore :(

My file_verification contents...

You can put media files on a USB stick to play in the car - remember when we used to do that!

Afaik no one has got the USB-C socket to charge a phone, at least not at any useful rate. I just plugged a two port USB charger in the 12V socket, you can have a much power as you want then.

It is a country specific requirement to display it. I know UK and USA vehicles have to, but I don't think most European countries do.

I think the magic happens in file_verification file. That contains a long hash code (340+ characters), I suspect the hash is generated using your VIN as the seed, making it unique to your car. Easy way to tell is for a couple of people to post the contents of that file, if they are different...

Everyone's VIN is displayed on the car for everyone else to see, so I don't know what the problem would be. I find it annoying that the iSmart app blocks out the VIN to you after you've logged in with a username/password, but everyone walking down the street can read it off the car!

I've not noticed particularly more chargers at first glance. It still doesn't have the chargers at my local Sainsbury's

I see the same in the app after Tesla opened up that raft of chargers.

You can do it from the engineering menu, and there is no password protection. I sat in the car and watched mine being updated once.

I've spent far too many days in that hotel!
