  1. At least they are aware of the issue, and it is being addressed. 👍
  2. It appears you are referring to Brake Hold. It secures your brakes when you halt. I was referring to the parking brake. On your 22 model, the parking brake should engage when shifted into park and release when shifted into drive or reverse. You must configure it to perform this action, or alternatively, you can execute it manually using the parking brake button.
  3. I am uncertain; my vehicle is configured to automatically disengage when I select drive or reverse. I engage the parking brake by pressing P after I have parked. It autonomously removes it. While it may not pertain to your concerns, it is a thought that occurred to me. It is hoped that the dealer has resolved your issue satisfactorily.
  4. A brief press of the button is sufficient to start the car, provided the brake pedal is depressed. I presume that is not your concern, but it is worth noting nonetheless. Is the parking brake configured to disengage automatically upon gear selection, or must it be disengaged manually? My device does this function automatically, although my previous generation had the option for either automatic or manual operation; I presume the second generation is similar. I am merely sharing some considerations; I hope it is a swift resolution once your return to the dealer.
  5. Thank you for all your replies. I should have examined the instructions more thoroughly, since they are sealed systems and individual bulbs cannot be changed. I was rather indulged by my prior vehicle. The illumination is adequate on standard routes, but not very effective on narrow alleys.
  6. Indeed, accurate! I need to have examined the instructions more thoroughly prior to contemplating this. I will have to tolerate lights that are not as luminous as I want in the lanes. I suppose I was somewhat indulged by the arc lights on my Subaru.
  7. This option is unavailable on the Soul, at least on my model. Thank you for the recommendation. There is no mention in the handbook, however they may be self-leveling, similar to my last vehicle (Subaru).
  8. Thank you. I had been seeking that information!
  9. My 2021 Soul FE (EV) is equipped with LED headlights; nevertheless, being in a remote area devoid of lighting diminishes its effectiveness. Has anybody replaced their LED headlights with third-party alternatives? I am examining a product that claims to be 9/10 Canbus compliant. Prior to investing a substantial amount of money, I am inquiring whether others have undertaken this and if you have had any data-related issues. Salutations
  10. Hello, thank you. I have forcefully closed the bonnet around ten times, and it still indicates that it is open. Where can I locate and access the microswitches? Thank you.
  11. I own a 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 with a 3.0 V6 engine. It is scheduled for the MOT on Tuesday after being unused for about 18 months. The wipers are inoperative because the vehicle detects that the bonnet is ajar, as indicated by an open bonnet notification. Does anybody understand the reason behind this? I must arrange it promptly since the MOT is scheduled on Tuesday. Thank you
  12. Do not squander your money on a box; wait till the automobile is fully paid for before mapping it.
  13. After a delay of two months, I have now received my new GT Line S PHEV. However, I observed many aspects and was informed that I had the largest specification. However, I am unable to activate the auto park assist. It is said that I should hold down the button on the fob labelled 'hold' and then push either forward or backward. Does this function need a fully charged battery? I have attempted various methods, and then I was informed that if one stands behind the vehicle for approximately five seconds, the trunk should automatically open without the need to press the key fob. Additionally, there is no option, as demonstrated in YouTube videos, to amplify the engine noise through the speakers; that feature is simply absent where it is expected to be. Furthermore, while browsing, I discovered a Premier League feature that allows one to select a team and watch content related to it. What is the mechanism behind that? Does anybody possess knowledge?
  14. Indeed, you are indicating that a bench test demonstrated that the video output on the obsolete COMAND device was nonfunctional. You think that the Integrated Automotive unit is responsible for the failure of the visual output on the COMAND unit, maybe owing to an electrical surge. At this juncture, the alleged surge may be attributable to any other component inside the vehicle. Furthermore, I comprehend that the installer (Comand UK / Unique) did not respond to your enquiries. Have you sought assistance from the manufacturer? They are located in Leicester, I suppose.
  15. Are you indicating that the screen remains always blank until Apple CarPlay is used via the Integrated Automotive unit? This would be logical if the Integrated Automotive unit were directly linked to the screen, for instance, by a splitter wire. Nevertheless, since the Integrated Automotive unit is connected to a video auxiliary input on the COMAND unit, I fail to see how the video output on the COMAND unit may be defective. Furthermore, when the new COMAND unit was installed, was your current screen reused, and, more significantly, was your existing video cable (connecting the screen and COMAND) also reused?
  16. I switched from CTek chargers to the Noco Genius 5 since it asserts the capability to charge batteries from 0 volts. Additionally, it also charges lithium batteries, a feature absent in all of my Cteks.
  17. I am little concerned about the scoring on the cams. Can you assist me in finding a replacement? Alternatively, provide me with guidance towards the correct path. Although I would want to disregard financial constraints, the presence of a spouse necessitates consideration. Consequently, I am contemplating the potential benefits of cleaning the cams and caps to improve the performance of the product in question, which was functioning adequately. Purchasing items on eBay can be a risky endeavour, since the quality and condition of the products are often unknown until they are received. This uncertainty is causing a significant increase in my stress levels, to the point where it is becoming very concerning. Instead of dismantling it like others, I choose to revive the mini. Thank you in advance
  18. Upon inspection, I have seen that the cams and caps exhibit little scoring, which I consider to be within acceptable limits. If left unaddressed, what potential consequences may arise? Furthermore, the cost of a reliable one is around £430, which exceeds the car's worth. This is not an ideal situation for me. I already own the FIA rings and will get kings bearings. Thank you for your assistance.
  19. He has extensive knowledge in the subject, which is relevant to my current project of refreshing an engine. I would really appreciate any information or paperwork that outlines the steps involved in doing an engine refresh and the process of properly bedding in the new components. Such resources would be very beneficial to me.
  20. I have not examined the bearings yet as I was waiting to see what others have done. However, I will now inspect them and proceed to get new stretch bolts. The condition of the head seems OK, but it has not been inspected for warping. It would be advisable to have it professionally pressure tested at a shop to ascertain its integrity. Regarding the break-in process for the piston rings, there are varying opinions among individuals. Thank you.
