  1. How is it functioning?Whenever I have experienced MAF failure, the vehicles operated quite poorly.
  2. I have another device affixed to the rear window that is connected to the 12v output in the trunk. That is also acceptable.
  3. https://www.powerfuluk.com/collections/evoque-2-interior-accessories
  4. I installed a straightforward solution for the Nextbase windscreen, with a tap-in loom converter from PowerfulUK. There are no issues. Here is a link to the latest Evoque:
  5. The product appears satisfactory; nonetheless, the limited reviews on Amazon are unfavourable.
  6. Thank you for the information. Do you trust Ooono as much as Waze or TomTom?
  7. I typically utilise the Tomtom satnav application due to its effective speed camera notifications, which are pronounced and clear, such as "speed camera ahead x yards!" rather than a mere beep. I consider it more dependable and evident than Waze. However, I find the user interface of both unsatisfactory. Having researched Ooono, I find it to be a commendable system. Utilising it would liberate my satnav application, enabling me to employ Google Maps, which permits a bird's-eye perspective at a customisable zoom level—an option I prefer. Is Ooono a trustworthy source for speed camera information? The absence of a subscription charge raises my suspicions regarding its affordability. Does anyone have comments on this system or alternative options they would want to share? Amazon reviews are varied. Thank you. Does Waze exclusively alert users about speed cameras when they are above the speed limit? It occasionally fails to detect them, sometimes emits a beep, and at other times verbalises... hence, I am reluctant to depend on it.
  8. My 2007 Japanese import ML included a built-in feature to display information in either English or Japanese; therefore, once the appropriate menu is located and English is selected, I am confident that the same applies to that model. It is likely that this has already been accomplished; if not, request the vendor to resolve the issue—any of the principal importers of Japanese used vehicles would possess an individual knowledgeable in this matter. (As a side note, it had not been completed on my device, and the minor seller from whom I purchased it was unaware of the procedure. Consequently, I randomly navigated through all the menus available, all in Japanese, until I encountered one menu featuring a single word in English - "English". Pressed the '+' key—possibly the '-' key—but the concept is clear, and success ensued! All organised. The challenging aspect will be the radio, as the Japanese utilise a distinct segment of the frequency spectrum for their radio transmissions compared to Europe. Comand Online, or Braybrook's in Welwyn, located near the selling dealer, can provide you with an estimate of the cost.
  9. Other equipment, such as control boxes, where moisture penetration occurs, lead to the formation of galvanic bridges across circuit board (copper) traces. The outcome is either open or shorted tracks, some of which may appear as dark contaminations or carbon deposits on the circuit boards. I have successfully repaired circuit boards with damaged copper traces, but not those exhibiting short circuits.
  10. Models from the 2016 model year and later, equipped with LED headlights, use QR-paper labels that specify the LED colour batch and the parameters to be transferred to the headlamp controller (including DC current settings, among others). Videos on YouTube demonstrate the headlamp initialisation method performed using the Xentry diagnostic system. It is imperative to never remove the QR code from the headlamp. Capture images of the QR codes and retain the photographs for potential future use. The bulb shown seems to contain far more water than what is typically attributable to standard condensation, a common issue with many Mercedes headlamps. Is there a fracture in the housing? Mercedes has launched kits including Silica Gel bags intended for placement into headlamps experiencing condensation. The lights must be removed to install or replace bags containing moisture-saturated silica gel packs. A further error has been positioning the light's controller in some models near the base of the lamp, just where water intrusion accumulates. In my humble opinion, it is completely foolish.
  11. Greetings, it is a pleasure to have you join us.
  12. The first MOT for a Northern Ireland vehicle occurs after 5 years, in contrast to a Great Britain registered vehicle. If it is quite recent, that might elucidate the matter.
