  1. Mine is equipped with spring assist; I merely need to determine how to access it for adjustment.
  2. Yes, it automatically elevates; however, for the past two months, it has not done so. I observe that it possesses springs on both sides.
  3. Greetings to everyone, I am experiencing a problem with my car's boot; it opens when the button on the key fob is pressed, but it does not elevate automatically. Any guidance would be greatly valued. Thank you.
  4. unlike certain individuals encountered in recent months or years, such as trolls or spammers
  5. I am perplexed as to why the installer from whom I acquired the Head Unit was unable to assist me with that; I would have willingly given a nominal fee, as the unit cost me Rs29,500, inclusive of installation. I require calibration for the 360; however, I lack the calibration cloth, and the three-week wait is intolerable for me. I will refrain from suggesting anyone to him and disapprove of his manner of communicating with clients. Another objective is to transmit the CAN messages from the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) to the Head Unit for dynamic trajectory, a task I am now undertaking that will require more time.
  6. At your urging, I attempted once more with Internet access and successfully incorporated a C-HR image.
  7. Attached are several images of the Caska S70 Head Unit installation. Calibration remains outstanding as the installer lacks a suitable flat surface; he will calibrate a batch in the second week of December. He should have notified me about that sooner; I am rather displeased. Efforts are ongoing on my part to transmit the Steering Angle from the CAN bus to the Head Unit UART interface.
  8. His vehicle differs from mine due to its hybrid drivetrain. The grey connectors are absent in my vehicle.
  9. The pinout of the harnesses is located here. I discovered a YouTube channel by Mr. Rajeev Velikkal, who has effectively interfaced with the body CAN system to retrieve steering angle readings from the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS). In his project, the steering angle assists in aligning the front wheels when the vehicle is placed in Park by emitting an audible beep if the steering wheel is misaligned. He not only reads the CAN bus but also transmits CAN messages/frames to lock or unlock the car and to activate the Brake Hold feature when reaching a specific speed. He has additionally published his code on hackster.io. His project has inspired me to facilitate the dynamic trajectory on the Caska S70 Head Unit I am installing for the 360-degree surround vision.
  10. This is the second unit; the first was defective and replaced under warranty. The back camera is the third one; one was replaced under warranty, and I replaced the other two myself. We are dissatisfied with this component of the vehicle and will upgrade it by next Monday I am encountering an issue with this installation: the dynamic trajectory lines are nonfunctional since the head unit harnesses lack the CAN L and CAN H wires necessary for the CAN bus to transmit the Steering Angle.
  11. I wish to activate the Dynamic Trajectory feature in the 360 functionality of a Caska S70 Head Unit installed in my wife's Toyota C-HR model NGX10R-AHXNX. To enable this feature, I must transmit the Steering Angle Sensor data from the CAN bus to the Head Unit. The vehicle was produced in Turkey and acquired new from the local Toyota dealership in Mauritius. The vehicle was equipped with a Caska head unit installed by the dealer instead of an OEM head unit. It was equipped with a back camera and Bluetooth for telephone pairing.
  12. Your observation regarding the heat is valid. I may need to switch to LED; my current light functions but lacks brightness. If your experience is similar, I must either transition to LED or accept the current condition.
  13. Hello, do you know where I can obtain replacement bulbs? My current bulb is functioning, but the display lacks brightness. It is a 1.2W bulb, although it may require a higher wattage for improved illumination.
  14. I possess a 2007 BMW 320d with 107,000 miles that I need to sell, but it is somewhat distant. The lacquer has deteriorated on the bonnet and roof, however the car has received meticulous care over the past 15 or 16 years. I do not desire much for it.
  15. I understand your perspective and your justified caution. My perspective is that a car valued at over £60,000 is unlikely to be test-driven by seventeen-year-olds, though I may be mistaken. According to TDudette, the running nowadays is not really necessary. Is it advisable to perform an oil change following the break-in period?
  16. Registered in September 2025, this highly desirable vehicle is equipped with nearly every optional feature and is listed for £61,000 at a prominent BMW dealership. It has completed approximately 1400 miles, and I have been informed that it will reach up to 1500 kilometres upon delivery to me. I am apprehensive regarding the adequacy of the break-in period for this car over the 1500 kilometres and the probability that it has been subjected to excessive use, as is typical with demonstrator vehicles. My comprehension, together with BMW's guideline for the initial 1200 miles, indicates that the break-in phase is critical and may affect the vehicle's longevity if beyond. Can anyone, particularly BMW personnel, provide insight on whether it is feasible that it has been abused? Is this offer excessively advantageous to be credible?
  17. Impressive automobile with commendable specifications—akin to a discreet E53, I presume.
  18. There is no red button; nevertheless, my device has a black button.
  19. I believe I can extract the shaft and then assess for any play inside the transmission connection. The seal is also leaking, resulting in fluid accumulation, which requires further inspection. It occurs in every gear, hence...
  20. The vehicle has a manual gearbox, the wheel bearing exhibits no discernible looseness, and I do not detect any noise while it is spun. The noise is only audible while the vehicle is in gear and operating at a greater speed. The boots are satisfactory; however, there is a little lateral movement, which I believe is typical. I am unable to perceive any sound at low speeds.
  21. There is an absence of clicking or banging throughout the turning process. The vibration intensifies with each session as speed rises; nevertheless, it stabilizes at around 85 miles per hour. At the age of 60, it is the most unfavorable. The issue is located on the driver's side, since halting the rotation of that wheel eliminates the vibration in the steering wheel. The sound seems to originate from the transmission; but, due to an exhaust leak, it is rather difficult to discern. I believe it is located around the area where the shaft enters. The wheel hub seems secure, and when I rotate the tires individually, I do not hear any clicking. However, a considerable speed is required to initiate the clicking sound, so I may attach a drill to the axle nut once my return home.
