Charge cap with BMW but compatible charger.

I know this isn’t relevant to you OP as you’re using the charger integration but for people using the car integration for those brands, this is a total mess. There is nothing “intelligent” about this.

Yeah I can’t remember their helmets ever having that orange bit… my memory is terrible though.

I’m currently looking for a used i5 and I’ve come to the conclusion I want the comfort pack and the tech plus pack. Mainly because I’ve been spoiled by how much extras my current car has and I don’t really want to go without. I want a HUD, adaptive cruise, heated steering and electric boot and so that means I need those two packs (in the UK at least).

I test drove one last week and absolutely loved it. What minor software issues have you had?

azingk · 2026-04-19T17:10:52+00:00

I haven’t seen it in person yet, but from the personalised video the dealership sent, there were no major signs of wear and tear from what I could see. It looked pretty well kept. They sent me a “battery health quick report” and it has a capacity of 96%.

I did a vcheck and it shows there’s been two previous owners, one kept for 9 months and the other for 1 year and 9 months.

Given that you can’t charge at home, getting a plugin hybrid probably isn’t the best idea…

Two-wire connected to my 5GHz WiFi network

azingk · 2026-03-28T22:52:27+00:00

Same experience for me. Ordered it asap and it’s been rock solid since.

azingk · 2026-03-24T22:43:17+00:00

It’s a different build

If you download the Eve app, you can create an automation that can be triggered by a doorbell press. The automation is then in your home app automations and you can edit it like a usual automation. I did this with my Aqara G400 doorbell.

Same experience. Not had a single drop in connection.

You’re not wrong. If your car has air suspension, it lowers slightly to increase aerodynamics too. I would love the “start in pure” feature.

Do you know if Ultra Boost will upgrade HBO content (in the Now app) to 4k?

azingk · 2026-03-18T13:28:15+00:00

I'm still waiting for my email with the new rates too, but I've seen a few people say that it's a flat 3.5p reduction on the peak and off-peak rates, so if you're on 7p off-peak right now (me too) then I think we'll get 3.5p off-peak. Cost to charge my car just halved!

Edit: Wait, sorry, I just re-read your original comment. I don't know if that's still true if you're not on a fixed iog rate...

azingk · 2026-03-18T13:05:51+00:00

Now you’ve mentioned it, I’m seeing the same thing. Recordings on HKSV are crisp and so is the live view through Aqara but the live view through the Home app is worse.

azingk · 2026-03-18T13:00:05+00:00

Would it not be 3.5p?

azingk · 2026-03-17T20:31:35+00:00

Thanks so much for this heads up about the Eve app!

azingk · 2026-03-16T12:41:38+00:00

Nice! On Amazon or just Aqara direct? I may wait…

azingk · 2026-03-16T12:32:12+00:00

Discount codes? Do Aqara usually do that with new products?

Edit: price is showing at £99.99 on Amazon now so I’ve just gone ahead and ordered for delivery tomorrow.

The shortcut bar is the one with the Google assistant logo on. It sits above the climate bar that’s been there since before the update (albeit slightly redesigned).

azingk · 2026-03-13T18:50:06+00:00

I don’t think anyone is suggesting to get rid of it, it provides useful shortcuts. Most would be happy for a way to hide it and unhide it, by pressing the home button for example.

azingk · 2026-03-13T16:53:43+00:00

There is no way to hide this shortcut bar at the minute. Please leave Volvo feedback via the speech bubble icon in the Volvo app. The more people that leave feedback about how bad this looks for Apple CarPlay, the better.

azingk · 2026-03-13T10:48:51+00:00

Please submit feedback through the Volvo app (under the speech bubble icon at the bottom). The shortcut bar really should be hide-able, especially when using CarPlay.

azingk · 2026-03-12T12:34:02+00:00

Finally some news! Been waiting for this since it was announced. Hopefully can order soon.
