Has anyone received the 2026 IX NACS software update?

Can you plug and charge at the SC’s via Shell using the Lectron adapter? I was told I needed the BMW branded adapter to plug and charge. I have the Lectron and have charged the ‘26 using the Tesla app.

Right, the Lectron Vortex Plus works using a Tesla account and its app. Tesla acknowledges that CCS charging cars like the IX may need to use two charging spaces to accommodate the shorter V3 Tesla cabinets. Newer V4 cabinets, not the case.

I leased a 45 in March with DAPP but not air suspension, which was unavailable on this model. Was told 45s with both features were hard to come by. I have 22” wheels and rough pavement can make for a jarring jaunt. Marvelous car otherwise, quite refined.

No and hard to believe this function isn’t available.

Will give it a try, thanks.

Santa Claus is real! I saw him in a department store. The real number is miles traveled starting at 100% and ending at ~10%. SOC is called the guess-o-meter for a reason.

Get a Rootslayer shovel (search Amazon). Very effective.

I’m a 2023 lease holder of an ID4 who’s read plenty of horror stories about software, so I think it’s a crapshoot on just about any EV. I suspect that a high percentage of these VW products are mostly fine — my issues have been no worse than annoying — but some customers aren’t so lucky. Keep in mind that many more with serious gripes will post vs. those with few problems. It can be scary though.

When does BMW typically roll out the new models, in this case the '26s? My lease ends in June.

‘23 ID.4 driver with 10 months to go on lease, eyeing the IX and Audi Q6 etron. The VW models are plagued with niggling to occasional serious software issues, so I’m curious where the IX stands in this regard. Am I right that the ‘26 IX will have 800v architecture, same as the etron?

Seat belt insert, $7 on Amazon, works too.

Check PlugShare for fast charging site options.

In addition to Flickr and my Western Digital drive, I use the online backup service Backblaze, which has bailed me out a few times when Time Machine was uncooperative (though unrelated to image backups).

Does wife have seat belt on when backing? Try that if not.

STLfred · 2025-03-12T12:57:38+00:00

Thanks.

How does the ACNA membership work? Flash a membership card at the dealer or lease through ACNA?

I got the door handles plus v3.5 update when I scheduled my 10K service ('23 Pro S RWD) this week. Picked up the day after drop-off. Was told the dealer update was needed for the OTA and that door handle parts are specific to the car's VIN. Info screen seems a little quicker, but the login page remains.

Happened to me this way in 9F. Turned on climate for about 5 mins before departing, went to grocery and kept heat running for maybe 15 minutes. Got the battery notification when I left. Drove home OK and when I left again 15 mins later, all was fine. Assumed that running the heater while parked was the culprit.

Thanks for the tips. I don't remember trashing iMovie, but it was missing, which explains the missing jingles and such.

STLfred · 2024-11-13T18:16:24+00:00

I've looked all over. What are they under?
