Downloading the maps via Mercedes me does not need purchasing the PIN from MB. Anyone can download it, but it won't accomplish anything if you don't have a PIN number. You may get the genuine MB PIN code from any number of dealers for anything from £99 to £250.

No, you may get the map data for free right from Mercedes-Benz with Mercedes me. Just be sure you purchase the PIN code associated with your VIN. Instead of downloading 50 GB on your home Internet, you may utilise the SD card that the vendor is providing. It was my intention to address the worry that the SD card provided by the vendor may be corrupted and cause the installation to fail.

So long as you have the seller's PIN number, you may download the maps on a USB drive (~50gb) using your PC. There will be no damage done if you enter the wrong PIN since you will be asked for it before the installation begins. I've tried this several times and each time it worked. If you happen to encounter an erratic "can't read data" notice, just take out and re-insert the USB drive or SD card, and it will resume from the point it was before. Using three SD-Cards or USB drives is the correct method; the capacity is irrelevant; what matters is that the drives "mimick" the original three DVD installation. The process requires keeping the engine running (or having the battery hooked up to a trickle charger) for around 60 to 90 minutes. Even if you can't use the satellite navigation system, you may still drive the vehicle while the update is underway. The update will halt if you turn off the engine, but it will resume once you turn it back on.

All three generations of NTG 4.5 (also known as NTG4.7) have identical maps. Your late-2013 vehicle should have NTG4.7, which means it can connect to the internet via both Android and iPhone. This is in contrast to NTG4.5, which could only connect via Android. In addition, the TomTom Live Data Subscription may be renewed using your car's GSM connection (KOM Module). However, keep in mind that this may not be possible now that Vodafone's 3g network is down. It is possible to go straight from the most antique maps to the most recent ones. Additionally, it is recommended to upgrade the firmware to the most recent version; however, this can only be accomplished using authentic MB STAR.

We already have enough of ways to squander the environment, so please, cut down on emissions.

There is a chain of timing. However, I would see to it that the tensioner belt is replaced when necessary. All service intervals are listed in the handbook, not the service book. Invoices for work done outside of Kia or a service book with stamped services are required. Then, as you lack the necessary documentation, you are unable to make any warranty claims.

I cannot recall the precise process I employed, but this was the note I made upon acquiring the vehicle: There are two Toyota applications available on the App Store, and the required one is the black MyToyota app. MyT application - finalise vehicle registration procedure - scan QR code/registration number/VIN to establish account - associate facial recognition/link profile to key - connect multimedia device - refer to Manual pages 50-56 ✅ Multimedia - Registration System ✅

I encounter no difficulty after adhering to the basic setup instructions; both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth must be enabled, and my iPhone connects and pairs effortlessly each time. 🤷‍♂️

A low oil level could result in the pick-up tube momentarily ingesting air during high-speed cornering. The G-force displaced the oil to one side of the sump, resulting in oil hunger. The problem was partially resolved with the implementation of oil baffles and the configuration of sumps to mitigate this issue. Ford faced class action lawsuits in the USA due to significant big end bearing failures in their V6 engines, attributed to the massive circular slip lanes leading onto motorways, where vehicles would experience oil starvation caused by g-forces displacing oil away from the pickup tubes. I trust this issue has been resolved; nonetheless, I would not be astonished if it remains unaddressed.

That concludes the responses thus far; I suspect the new battery may be defective. I charged it overnight, and as soon as I disconnect the charger, the voltage declines significantly. Proceeding with additional investigation.

Thank you. Mine plummeted unexpectedly on the track yesterday.

Thank you for your reply. I ventured out this afternoon, and upon returning after an hour, the device was functioning well, displaying no warnings and a battery reading of 12.4 volts. I hope Kia can resolve the issues related to their 12v systems and possible ICCU failures. I have possessed the car since last April, and it is an exceptional vehicle; nonetheless, I lack confidence in it. It may be prudent to examine alternative options.

Enquire whether anyone has experienced this. This morning, I entered the vehicle, and my BM2 indicated a low state of charge and a battery voltage of 10.5 volts. The battery was just replaced with a Yuasa Silver. The vehicle initiated without issue and indicated charging during my 30-minute journey, with the state of charge increasing. Returned to the vehicle thirty minutes later; it started without issue, but the voltage was again low. Arrived home and turned off the vehicle; the voltage immediately decreased again. I replaced the 12v battery with the old one, which indicated 12.65v, and immediately it began to decline to low 11v readings. The vehicle in utility mode indicates that it is charging properly; nevertheless, there seems to be an anomaly with the battery voltage decreasing despite no active components. I have verified the voltages with a multimeter, and they correspond accurately to the BM2 readings. Are these indications of an impending ICCU failure?

I would choose that Porsche over the Ferrari every day. In my opinion, the Testarossa was not the brand's most aesthetically pleasing vehicle.

It is likely that components such as belts, harmonic balancers, and suspension will require replacement, along with potential injector issues. However, if the price is reasonable, it is advisable to proceed and conduct a thorough test drive.
