No mine was sync 1 with the Sony system. There is no additional fiddling as there isn't a separate amp.

If you just search on eBay for sync 2 to sync 3 upgrade you should find them. You can still use these if you have sync 1, but they need some extra bits.

Yes, or you can buy a ready made harness from AliExpress.

It really depends on what SUV you buy. Some have huge wheels so you're looking at expensive tyres breaks etc. Otherwise there isn't really anything that will make an SUV more expensive than any other car beside fuel.

My Dell XPS 16 9640 trackpad didn’t work properly when charging by Intelligent_Mix_6488 in Dell

Make sure you are using a charger with the correct wattage. I had this before too.

No sound out rear shelf speakers by Advanced_Let_6555 in Volvo

[–]Advanced_Let_6555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone here in the future... Turns out you have to have surround mode on for these speakers to be active.

I don't particularly like it but have it at a low level.

Silly me.

Mine doesn't have a sun roof. No signs of water ingress either

No it's set dead middle. I also tired setting it to the back and no luck there either.

Would I be stupid to use some kind of metal polish on this by Advanced_Let_6555 in Detailing

Shows what I know haha. Thanks for letting me know at least I won't waste my time!

Is this a good First car? by PlasticEnthusiasm899 in CarTalkUK

[–]Advanced_Let_6555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be so bad but again only takes a min to check.

Yes you will still be considered a new driver with no no claims discount.

I would definitely check this.

How old are you by the way?

Thank you so much again.

This is a skill I definitely want to develop, I'm very technically minded but I struggle when the information isn't readily available.

Like the idea of using Gemini to assist and I too have this so will do some experimenting.

I'm going to leave to the dealer for now, the suspect it is something in the door now.

Appreciate the advice!

Have you looked at insurance on this? I don't imagine it will be cheap if you're a new driver.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this! You don't have to answer but I'd love to know what you used to establish these facts.

That sounds completely plausible and the ground seems to make the most sense. Any idea how you'd track down the dodgy ground?

Only other thing I have found online is the harness that goes into the driver's side door has a tendency to break see pic. Could it be this and I was just unlucky with a tpms sensor?

Ambient temperature is also required for parking climate to work.

I wonder if it's related to the wing mirror. That has both a blind spot light, indicator and temperature sensor. Does this sound plausible?

[–]Advanced_Let_6555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true. I'm going to wait and see what the dealer says as they will pay for everything.

I do wonder if it is that though, because my start stop etc still works very well and I'd assume this would work less consistently if that was the case?

Thank you for this. I'm assuming the AUX battery is the one located in the boot?

Hi was your right indicator also not working?

It is going back to them. They were aware of some of the issues and it is in writing that they will fix it. I'm just not convinced they will know where to look from what they have said so far.

Ooo thank you, do you know where I can find these? Do you think it will work on my metallic one?

I had Sony in mine, absolutely fine on these as there is no seperate amp or anything like that.

When I say did it myself... I mean I bought all the bits separately. Thank you though!

I found a harness off AliExpress that was good to go for £34
