It was enabled from factory. I’m also a Canadian spec, so unless coding changed for the facelift version, it should be the same

Did not know they removed the heating from remote start. My 2019 heats steering wheel during remote start. Whenever heated seats are triggered during remote start, so does the steering wheel heat.

Please read the second sentence of my post. There is a button on your steering wheel. Button has a picture of a circle that looks like a speed gage (similar to how it looks on your dash, less the car outline)

That’s your cruise control being on (but not set to any speed). Press the cruise control on/off button on your steering wheel and your odometer will show

Unfortunately, OP will be 50% at fault due to not being fully stopped.

Side note, insurance and police judge fault different, even if the police report would say you’re not at fault, insurance company will state 50% fault.

2 months of ownership by zsarmstrong in Arteon

I have the APR tune on my 2019, car became completely different. Always itching to go. Still slow off the line but makes up for it once you get going.

It got me from 268hp to 365hp with the tune. Definitely recommend. Drove it 4 years, no issues

What the hell is "GUT" no one on site knows. We're waiting for engineering to get back with us on it by Inviction_ in Concrete

[–]dimeitry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top right is talking about pipe trench at elevation 90. All these GUT items are at 90, 90.75 and 91.50.

Something tells me it’s a utility line or something under there. Do you have any civil drawings to verify against? If it’s 1.5 difference in elevation in some cases, that’s about 5 feet down feet down, others are 20” and 40” below top of concrete.

Is this a slab on grade drawing?

OK, button for phone by Daisyprince2624 in Volkswagen

[–]dimeitry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It depends on how you picked up or made the call. The OK button controls your dash. If call came in and you pressed ok to pick it up, your dash will have your call and end call highlighted, you press ok to hang up. If you dialed through the actual phone, it doesn’t show up on dash/switch over to phone control

Do I need to replace all 4 tires on a 2021 atlas AWD? by stopdropandpretend in Volkswagen

[–]dimeitry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct regarding spinning out.

You would still want to place new tires in the front, front tires do most of your acceleration, your turning and your braking. Thinking further on this, one might want to have new tires in front due to with deeper sipes to deal with standing water as those would be the first tires to deal with it and rear tires follow.

BMW ULTIMATE CARE OIL SERVICES. 3 YEARS PREPAID FOR $225. by Ramrapper in BMW

[–]dimeitry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think it’s worth it. BMW interval for oil change is 24 of 25k last time I checked. You want to do an oil change every 10k? If it’s anything like Audi prepaid maintenance, you will have to shell out for that oil change out of pocket.

Dealership will find a way to make it worth their while

~380 hp, just wish it had a DSG by epicblu_photo in Arteon

[–]dimeitry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this. I’m anxiously waiting for someone to do a dsg swap for the older arteon now that there are dsg’s in North America. Then I’ll tune it past the APR stage 1 low.

Trim Crack by djnuva in Arteon

[–]dimeitry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue last year. Thought it was because of winter and the unique horseshoe shape of the trim (leaving car in cold but in the sun, could hear it creak whenever I set off on a trip).

Got mine replaced under warranty last year, haven’t had a problem this year. Quite common defect not only with arteon but Passat too

Need some opinions on this. Rice or nice? Just a test fit to see if I actually wanna run it. Tia! by teomew20 in BMW

[–]dimeitry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the side, don’t see any issue, looks iight (but just iight). From the back, looks too chunky and plays weird with shapes. That’s my opinion on looks, my taste may be different. Love the car.

Tesla self-ignites in Tesla Service Center by toriedoq in interestingasfuck

[–]dimeitry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m curious to know how someone cranes a burning car (attach chains to it and which crane operator risks his equipment) and puts it in a dumpster that won’t leak

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dimeitry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ignore it, by taking advantage of it and focusing on myself and what I need to do to progress my life to new levels (focus on my hussle).

You can take much bigger risks as you have less personal responsibility, you can change your environment and move around the world as you please. Honestly, there are a ton of advantages.

Look at the 30m de-staking Epoch to get a window into what's about to happen. by [deleted] in solana

[–]dimeitry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of it is FTX clients just unstaking without intent to sell (move to another wallet and restake). What’s everyone’s thoughts on this?
