You can run a DC to AC inverter (separate from the car system) directly connected to the HV DC battery output- there’s even space under the bonnet for the unit- there are some self converted electric vehicles that have done this. Classic Electric Cars recently did a VW camper. You would have to...

I had the xpower for the day while my Trophy was in for a service and the LKA and TJA were much better than my Trophy- even after all the software updates on my car. Everything was reset though so maybe after a longer drive it may recalibrate 🤞

Did several standing starts in sport mode but didn’t get into track mode this time. Had some fun kicking the back end out and drifting on slimy roundabouts. It’s a great fun through messy, gravelly, slimy country A/B roads and was enjoying the front motor spinning up to pull out of fast corners.

It’s not going to have a big impact as the amps/Kw draw is very minimal compared to the draw from the motor under power or when charging, most users will probably only use 5kwh at 10-20amps at the most so the equivalent to 20 miles of driving pulling hundreds of amps is quite low stress...

It’s the generic copy for a service so if the oil and filters are scheduled it’s done but obviously not necessary here 🤪🤪 (just yet). £88.70 so a good price for a check over, software updates and wash and vacuum, I had an Xpower for the day too that was fully charged so a good deal. Richmond MG...

Just had my 15,000 mile service today and the R46 update- this is the list (Trophy 64kwh) Carry out 1st annual service in line with manufacturer schedule including oil and filter change, visual health check, any outstanding manufacturer campaigns and free wash & vac Carry out MG campaign RC008...

Why would anyone pay that when you can get one for £5,000 used, the manufacturing cost is under $7,000. I smell dealership mark up. I’ll see if I can get into the manufacturing parts lists to check factory pricing for dealerships, I’m not in the car industry anymore but have been researching...

Hers a bit rate list for DAB radio across most UK stations, some are even in mono on some popular broadcasts. https://www.astra2sat.com/british-radio/uk-digital-radio-bitrates/ The sound (or quality) can drop off randomly in some areas due to a fall in bit rate especially if it’s only...

Really, that sounds odd as surely the car as a whole is used to determine future values and depreciation, after all you wouldn’t separate the motor and charger. As someone who builds batteries from salvaged ev packs I’d ignore any reference to new replacement packs as you can get a complete low...

Changed it

I was initially going to get another pair of crossovers and wire them up in the door just for the mid drives to save routing another cable but the sound is fine how it is. I’ve done a full frequency test and is good and the rears get full range despite reports of them only being mid to low. As...

Glad it helped. The subwoofer settings muddle up the sound now the speakers can work across a lower frequency, they don’t need software enhancements to cover up the poor quality like the original ones do 🙃

Here’s a link to my YouTube install video there are details in the description, I have posted on here but this is probably quicker. Speakers Vibe Slick6-V7 6.5 component fronts and coaxial rears. I got my speakers from a Vibe eBay shop that were new unused without original packaging so were...

Yes upgraded the rear speakers too, I have the Trophy 😎

Hi, check photos attached. I have the virtual sub off and loudness as they are not needed. You have to install a passive high crossover for the tweeters or they won’t work well and make sure the positive and negative terminals all match up. The rear door speaker mounts are the same, I have the...

All good after 15,300 miles in 12 months. The sound system was pants so I upgraded the speakers and now that’s great too.

Here’s the original tweeter details

The stock tweeter is tapped from the main speaker feed, crossover capacitor built in to the tweeter, not sure what it’s rated at as didn’t note it down. Best to add a passive crossover and new tweeter as the stock ones are pants 🙃. I’ll check and see if I still have the originals when back home...

It’s ’mainly‘ rear motor in all modes except sport, will switch if needed to all wheel drive- hard acceleration, hard throttle out of corner, lack of traction etc- in sport mode it’s full dual motor mode except in reverse.

Not sure about an adapter but you can find the same types of connectors but will probably have to make up your own harness. Use the Cross-over high connector unit that comes with the Vibe components and connect to the existing tweeter wiring in the dash to the input then new tweeter to the high...
