Does your insurance policy provide coverage for missing keys? Certainly, it is essential to consider the rise in insurance costs associated with future claims.

It is possible to purchase a fob from online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay and have a locksmith cut the blank key. However, it is necessary to have the key coded, and it is unclear if this requires an IID type code reader or whether it can only be done by the primary dealer. If it is the second option, I would expect the cost to be in the hundreds of pounds.

If the suggestions provided in this discussion are ineffective, it is conceivable that the BeCM (Body electronic Control Module) is permanently inaccessible, and the only method to regain access is by using a diagnostic tool manufactured by Blackbox Solutions (such as Rovacom or Faultmate). Perform a forum search using the keyword "SM35" to get insights on the solution for your issue. I possess the requisite equipment to do this task; but, it will need the extraction of the BeCM and its subsequent dispatch to my location. Kindly communicate with me via a confidential message so that we may establish a concrete arrangement.

How to fix a chipped paint on a calliper?
p00rmansp0rsche replied to p00rmansp0rsche's topic in General Discussions
Can you recommend the most durable sort of touch-up paint for a calliper? -
Greetings, everyone. Recently, I had my paint callipers coated with black powder using a process called powder coating. All of them are in excellent condition, however I just saw a little chip on one of them (measuring 2-3x2-3 mm, indicating its modest size). I am capable of refraining from intervening, but it causes me distress. Considering the supposed durability of powder coating, I am perplexed as to what might have caused any damage. Could the recent flushing of my brake fluids at the dealer be connected to this? I am not inclined to assign blame since it is a common occurrence, but I am seeking guidance. What is the most effective approach to handle this situation? 1. Should I refrain from making any changes and accept it as it is, considering its insignificance? 2. Purchase touch up paint that matches the original colour and apply it precisely to the affected area. Would conventional automotive paint be suitable? 3. Would you want to redo the powder coating on the calliper? (This option might be rather costly!) We would really welcome any input.

Hello I have had the lightweight and costly OZ Superforgiata wheels weighing 7.3 and 9.3 kilogrammes for a decade.

The AC button is one of the first things I deactivate when I enter my daily driver (DD). It is bothersome and superfluous to have it continually activated by default, especially considering the inconvenience of having to constantly look at an orange LED.

The air conditioning system consistently activates while defrosting. on the past, using the Defrost setting on your vehicle would cause the windows to get foggy until you either allowed fresh air to enter or turned on the air conditioning. Recirculating the air caused the automobile to fog up.

Recommendations for phone holders

I was taken aback, since I was certain that my first edition would... However, it occurred a significant duration in the past. I would just place it on the storage shelf that is equipped with a USB connection for Apple CarPlay. -

Does it lack a wireless charger for continuous use? -

What is the specification of your Stonic? -
It is possible that the auxiliary battery was also in a state of disrepair. The output of the alternator, which charges the battery, is 14.7 V. The provided information does not provide any insights into the battery. The voltage of the battery is measured in the absence of engine operation. It seems that there may be an issue with the primary battery, necessitating its replacement. Is this the original version? If this is the case, it has been executed satisfactorily.

The RAV PHEV variant has consistently encountered this issue, particularly in colder climates, when the vehicle is left unattended for prolonged durations. A significant number of individuals own a compact battery booster inside their vehicles for the purpose of manually unlocking the car and afterwards connecting the booster to provide a sufficient amount of power to the 12-volt system. This enables the vehicle to enter the READY state, allowing the traction battery to subsequently recharge the 12-volt battery. Similar to others, I use a 12-volt charger throughout the winter season to replenish the battery while engaging in brief journeys or when the vehicle is idle. A brief adapter cable is used to establish a connection between the 12-volt battery and the charger, which is thereafter inserted until the battery attains complete charge. According to Toyota's recommendations for the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), it is advised to keep the vehicle in the READY mode for a duration of 20 minutes when it is not being frequently used. There may be a potential correlation or connection to the bZ4X model.

I apologize for any confusion. The instructions provided are applicable to the earlier model of the Velar owned by my spouse. The most recent iterations include a distinct configuration for the shifter and parking brake. The following instructions are derived from the Owner's Manual of the year 2023: The instructions should start with the seatbelt in an unbuckled state. The action of disengaging the seatbelt seems to activate the emergency power brake in my particular situation.

For what it's worth, my auto maintenance routine consists of only using a touchless car wash system, followed by the use of a detailing spray (specifically Adam's brand, which has shown to be effective in my experience), and the utilization of soft microfiber towels in a liberal manner. This method is characterized by its efficiency, simplicity, and little water use.

Does the vehicle transition into the Park gear automatically, or does it activate the automatic brake hold feature? The following is the procedure I use for the chicken dance: First, bring the car to a complete stop. Then, proceed to unbuckle the seatbelt. Next, ensure that the gear selector is in either the "P" or "D" position, while simultaneously pressing the foot brake. Afterward, choose the neutral gear and release the handbrake by pulling the left handle. Finally, remove the foot brake. The vehicle is expected to exhibit unrestricted movement when placed in neutral gear.

I have recently made a choice. I thoroughly explored several alternatives, including the possibility of engaging Porsche Stockport to provide an offer for the purchase of my vehicle. This aligns with the anticipated expectations of both me and presumably yourself. The offer made was much below the expected value, and there was a clear misrepresentation about the projected retail price. When considering the exorbitant loan rate of 10.5 percent imposed by Porsche on new car purchases, I made the decision to retain my existing vehicle collection, at least for the time being. The Spyder vehicle in question has a mileage of just 2400 kilometers, indicating that it remains in a state of relative novelty. I shall make an effort to use the automobile more often. We express our gratitude to all those who have provided their perspectives.

According to my cognitive faculties, it is evident that such action is advisable. However, my own inclination is to retain the Spyder. The Boxster has been my first Porsche acquisition, and afterwards, I have acquired each subsequent variant. I am cognizant of the fact that no more production of the aforementioned items will occur, with the exception of electric vehicles (EVs), which do not pique my interest. The automobile in question represents my ideal specifications. This particular issue presents a significant challenge.
