Hi. I know how to adjust the brightness of the two screens, and that the software has the ability to control the brightness automatically, to account for changes in the external light level. However, I have a problem at night with the Apple map screen being extremely bright. Does anyone else...

I’m not sure of this, but I suspect the sensor is mounted on the windscreen in the top centre consul. Perhaps covering this with a large towel,or something else, might trick the system into thinking it was dark.. just a thought.

We appear to have digressed, the original post concerned preheating the battery, and the advantages of using this system. I must admit, that I’m still at a loss regarding the preheating process, provided by the iSmart app. If there is anyone using this system, or is knowledgeable, pros/cons...

I have Hybrid+ Trophy (PHEV) and it does not have a heated steering wheel.

I’m currently with British Gas and on a good single rate tariff, not off peak. BG was going to be more expensive to have off peak. So I did some research and discovered that Octopus were also going to be more expensive. I was advised to wait until April, when the new tariffs will be announced...
