A few things about the IM5

[KnightRider]

I'm enjoying my new ride. Only had him (yes, definitely a him!) for a week but getting used to it.

A few odd things - I was playing tunes from a usb stick - with a converter and we noticed that the tempo would change. I know you can cause the volume to change with respect to the speed but tempo??

Another one - I select lots of settings but on returning to the car the next time, they have gone back ....e.g. lane departure, nice to be warned but not assisted. I had to avoid a warning triangle (mobile works ahead) and the car tried to stop me.
I switched it to warning only but the next day it reverted. Maybe I have to long press to "save" it?
The same thing happens with ERS.

Otherwise it's great. Tried the crab parking. Worked a treat. Tried the super fast charger - got 108kW but at over 80p/kWh I won't be using that often.

Yes, there's another cover under that one but no idea how it comes off . Tbh I never bothered in 6 years with my last car - the levels never ever changed! The screen wash is easy to access and top up. I'd like to customise the top screen - don't need airplay, Spotify of tik tok!

Hi, still getting used to "Knight rider". The topping up over night seems to work pretty well. Putting back 30%.
I was wondering if there's any more customisation I can do. Like removing unused icons - the main screen has airplay, Tiktok & spotify which I don't use ....
I'm finding it annoying that soooo much is only accessible via the touchscreen. Like changing the wiper sensitivity! I was out on a rainy night and had to resort to pushing the stalk to wipe the window.
One thing I am impressed with is the USB music facility. It plays very well.

Can anyone who has an IM5 tell me what the audio system is like? 20 speakers sounds good on paper but I'm struggling to find any real world opinions. Thanks

Quite amazing. I'm not impressed with the dab radio but then I'm in a weak signal area. But playing via USB is brilliant!

Great thanks. Got a standard range on order through NHS Fleet Solutions. Seemed a bargain. Looking forward to it. Opted for the white interior, which again it seems to be hard to find opinions on. Pretty much all youtube videos have the grey.

Good morning @mugatu, welcome to the forum, when are you expecting to get the IM5?

Morning. Ordered a couple of weeks ago but haven't been given a date yet. I was hoping for late January but appreciate this may be optimistic. Will be replacing an Audi Q4 (bang average car) and will sit alongside our VW iD7 (fantastic car).

That's a long time to wait when you're waiting for a new car , but it'll soon pass.
