  1. I too own a 2014 vehicle and I am now considering upgrading the head unit. Which conversion kit and Alpine model did you utilise?
  2. The car is equipped with current technology, eliminating physical buttons and relying only on electronic controls. It has an MBUX display, as seen in the video.
  3. The car is contemporary, lacking actual buttons for this feature, since electronic controls are now prevalent.
  4. The MBUX display can only be accessed when the ignition is turned on. There is no physical key to take from the key fob, and the automobile automatically locks itself soon after.
  5. I am unable to activate the internal motion and tow away sensor on the display. Despite the internal sensor functioning well, when I secured the vehicle and remained inside, the alarm was triggered. Please refer to the video for more clarification.
  6. I have just returned home after engaging in heli skiing in Alaska this morning. It is rather costly...
  7. This often occurs when the fan control unit loses its CAN-bus connection with the engine or AC controller. To safeguard the engine, the radiator fan(s) are set to operate at maximum speed. However, this scenario often leads to the generation of error codes. Regardless: Inspect the cables and connectors for any faulty connections, corrosion, or misalignment of the contact components in the plugs or sockets. There have been instances when workshops have mistakenly changed controllers due to error messages indicating a lost connection, incorrectly supposing that the hardware (controller) was faulty. Several electrical issues may be attributed to mechanical faults. I strongly recommend that those who want assistance do the necessary inspections on their own. An especially troublesome issue that has arisen is the use of "Z-joints". Auto manufacturers have used the practice of including joints inside cable harnesses to reduce costs, specifically for the purpose of sharing a ground connection. Indeed, there have been several instances of this, leading to a range of issues that are not always straightforward to resolve. Yet another ill-advised move, in my humble opinion, has been the use of excessively thin wires in harnesses designed for sensors that are not capable of carrying substantial electrical currents. If a harness is bent carelessly for whatever reason, the tiny wires are stretched past their breaking point, resulting in the creation of open circuits. This leads to inaccurate sensor measurements.
  8. Apologies, I have now realised that the link I sent with you is intended for the year 2018 and beyond. To access the online BMW owners guides, just input your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at the following website: https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/topics/owners/bmw-owners-guide.html Was an owner's guide not included with the car? It is possible that you may also locate a hyperlink to a PDF version elsewhere. Thus far, I have not come across any internet information indicating that anything should be shown on the bottom area of the left dial.
  9. Insufficient power during heavy load can be attributed to a blocked air filter, split intake pipes, or collapsing intake pipes.
  10. I believe they are secured in place by six clips on each side. It seems that the clips are included with the product, but they can also be bought individually. HC1 Clip DBE500013 Weatherstrip refers to a narrow strip of material used to seal gaps and prevent the entry of air, water or dust into a building or vehicle./text Regarding the chassis numbers, the range starts at AA000001 and the quantity is 12. Most likely, just replacing the clips will enough to resolve the issue.
  11. I need the replacement of two door seals on my spouse's vehicle. She expressed dissatisfaction with the price of the door seals until I informed her that she could get all four door seals for the same price as a single inner door seal for my automobile. Occasionally, it is necessary to see things from a broader and more objective standpoint.
  12. The components for the 2005-2009 and 2010-2013 models are identical, hence the chassis number is irrelevant. The weatherstrip with the LR018083 part number is 51222. Satin Black Left-hand side Applicable to chassis numbers: starting from AA000001 Quantity: 1 Weatherstrip with the LR018084 part number is available at 51222. The colour of the object is Satin Black and it is labelled as RH. Chassis numbers start at AA000001. Quantity: 1. Item: 211A74B Description: Seal - Front Door Part Number: CFE500780 Secondary body The replacements are for chassis numbers ranging from AA000001 to CA733714. The items LR037337 and LR044024 have a quantity of 2.
  13. What are the issues associated with that particular hue?

  15. Another viable alternative that has had positive results for me in the past is Mr12volt. It conveniently connects to the MOST ring and provides track data upon request, in addition to including a built-in microphone for phone conversations.
  16. Perhaps for the sake of uniqueness, I am encountering an issue with the presence of orange plastic on my vehicles. However, my ALFA, from its inception, does not own any of this material.Personally, I believe that the appearance is much enhanced by the use of white or transparent ones. It is unfortunate that he did not coordinate the side repeaters with them.
  17. I believe there is a flaw in the system. The tests for my wife's 2005 A class vehicle are all shown, as you said. However, the tests for my 2010 pickup truck, which we have had since it was new, only appear from 2015 forward. The years 2013 and 2014 are curiously absent. My previous CLK model only displayed the more recent ones as well, but this time it started from 2010. The vehicle itself was from 2002, therefore the first test was conducted in 2005. Well. Regardless, BOT, that is a wonderful automobile.In my opinion, they seem aesthetically pleasing when paired with contemporary wheels. There is a black vehicle in this area that has had its badges removed, but it does not have the sound characteristic of a Mercedes 560. It is equipped with Mercedes 507 style replica wheels, and its appearance is impressive. In my opinion, the valuation for the item mentioned in post 1 seems to be inflated given the present market conditions. However, it is worth noting that if there are just two potential buyers who express interest in acquiring it, the final selling price may differ. just time will tell.
  18. The majority of automobiles do not have any digital MOT records prior to 2015. However, my car does not have any digital records, although it has definitely had MOT inspections since 2012. It is typical.To be frank, I find it astonishing that the automobile has just one display dating back to 2005.
  19. I successfully evaded punishment for committing a homicide. They should have been incarcerated for the last two decades. I am astonished that he was found not guilty.
  20. This elucidates the reason for the automatic shutdown of the engine in both incidents. Thank you.
  21. Thank you for your focus. Next week, I will transport the automobile to the garage. Considering that the engine abruptly stopped functioning on its own within a short period of time during both incidents, I am questioning if the engine really had a seizure. Due to the absence of a charging mechanism, I attempted to start the engine today using a depleted battery in order to ascertain whether the crankshaft would rotate. I saw the belt rotating around 45 degrees with each ignition, followed by a halt, indicating that it is not jammed. If the belt is able to spin, would this imply that the engine is not seized?
  22. I appreciate your response. Following a second instance of the automobile running away, it is now unable to start. When trying to start, the screen becomes black, most likely because there is not enough electricity. Additionally, the starting motor has difficulty rotating the engine, causing it to spin slowly and in an uneven manner. This seems to be an unfavourable indication. Upon inspecting the oil dipstick, I saw that the oil level remains unchanged, and there are no discernible traces of metallic debris. Upon removing the oil cap, there was no visible signs of damage or deterioration. Is it possible for a runaway to cause engine damage? Does a broken turbo oil seal need a turbo repair or a full turbo replacement? Appreciation is extended.
  23. Error code: P029900 (Low boost pressure in Turbo 1) The P228100 code indicates a leak occurring between the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle. The turbo waste gate of P22C872 is stuck in the open position and is not closing. On the first day, when I was driving, I observed a consistent rattling sound along with a decrease in power during acceleration, which was then followed by a restoration of power at higher RPMs. Over time, attaining high revolutions per minute (RPMs) became progressively more challenging, and the act of manually changing to a lower gear was no longer feasible. After coming to a halt, I identified the origin of the rattling sound as the left side of the engine (specifically, the turbo), while the engine itself was operating nicely. The OBD diagnostics detected fault codes associated with problems in the intake and turbo valves, namely the waste gate. 1. Identified a pressure leak between the throttle valve and MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. The turbo valve is jammed. Despite resetting the error codes, the issue continued, with intermittent fluctuations in boost, ranging from normal to completely missing. While operating a vehicle, I saw the data flow of the waste gate opening, which consistently stayed at about 50% independent of the throttle input (5% when the engine is not running). On the second day, I had turbo lag at high RPMs. This means that there was a delay in the engine's response after I released the throttle pedal, with the engine still receiving throttle input for 0.5 seconds. Alarmed, I applied a rapid increase in throttle while not moving, resulting in the engine accelerating without restraint. I had to deactivate the engine by extracting the key. Nevertheless, successive attempts to initiate the engine were unsuccessful at first, since the starter was operational but the engine refused to start. After around 10 tries, the engine successfully ignited but released blue smoke from the exhaust. The throttle input at low levels was within the expected range, but, as the engine reached 3,000 revolutions per minute, it suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated without any control. Despite the removal of the key, the engine persisted in running at maximum capacity for around 5 seconds before coming to a halt. I am now apprehensive about making another effort. At first, I had a suspicion that a waste gate was jammed, resulting in a loss of turbo pressure. Nevertheless, the appearance of substantial blue smoke and unmanageable engine RPMs has caused me great concern. Has anybody had such situations previously? Thank you.
