A few things about the IM5

[KnightRider]

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).

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

To the forum.

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

Hi all, quite enjoying my ride. Quite a few odd things but gradually getting used to it. One thing I was keen on sorting - is there a charging record? Nothing on the app. Does the car store past history? Be nice to know. We're still working out running costs. Using our Octopus Go overnight rate of 8.5p,/kWh and getting, at the moment, 3.3 miles/kWh, that works out at 2.6p/mile. I was disappointed with the efficiency but then, it is winter....full lights, heating, AC, full pilot nav & music !

This review shows the white interior on an IM6

All in all, though. Niggles/Irritations aside.
Money well spent?

Thanks for the photos of the mats. Yes they are different to the review cars as someone else pointed out.

You need to fiddle with the copious configurability that’s available to find your preferred tune. And then, it’s a genuinely nice system - especially so because of the quietness of the cabin. But out of the box, it was wooden and dull.

Does your home charger not provide these stats?

I should imagine it would if the car was only ever charged at home, but not if any charging is done away from home

Yeah but charging apps provide it too.

Again, true but more and more charge points are contactless payment and don't need an app. I wonder if it's possible to interrogate the car via OBD2 to get the data

Usually cheaper to use an app with the discounts etc on offer.

Also you could automate it with software if you got email receipts to aggregate your data into a spreadsheet if you were that way inclined. I'd probably just use Power Automate.

Plus you know, the 80/20 rule right? I bet more than 80% of charging for most people is at home.
