I've previously attempted both of those options without success. I am grateful.

The car's location appears to be unchanged. I can see where there is a strong signal on my mobile device—which is a Vodafone SIM—but it has no effect on EV3. There are instances when trips are completely disconnected, rendering the SatNav useless.

Hello, my EV3 is acting up. On a regular basis, it takes my SATNAV about ten to fifteen minutes to provide me with live access. A message reading "Network connection unstable On board navigation will be provided" is all I ever receive. The message "Service not activated (KIA Connect) not subscribed" appears in the General section, under OTA - Infotainment and Map. However, after a ten to fifteen minute delay, it changes to "Activated." I can connect to the EV3 through the KIA Connect app on my Android phone, and my KIA Connect account is active. It doesn't matter how strong the mobile network signal is; this happens every time I use the car. It was a major pain to attempt to leave London without a working SATNAV. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please let me know.

Has anyone used Kilmacanty Transport to buy a car?
CyberNinja replied to Matt865's topic in General Discussions
Can't comment on their vehicle sales, but I've dealt with Mcerlane Logistics on the freight side through work. They moved industrial equipment for us from Belfast across to France. Customs paperwork was handled properly and we were kept updated Didn't even know they sold cars until reading this!!! -
Greetings everyone, The front suspension arms on my 2010 S204 need replacing because the hydrobushes are clearly cracked and certain bumps and potholes are extremely painful to ride over. You can either buy a repair kit and replace all four arms, or you can just install the hydrobushes, the latter of which is significantly less expensive. On the whole, it appears that the arms, ball joints, etc. are in fine shape. Really, isn't anyone just going to swap out the hydrobushes? Is it really worth it to deal with the additional trouble of presses and the like? Thanks for reading 😉

Seat convenience feature - R129 1996?
CyberNinja replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
Actually, I have a brand new NOS multipurpose stalk that I've never used, so thank you for that. I seem to have forgotten. Why don't I try releasing the seat's latch and pushing it forward to see if it moves? I noticed in the video that the left hand drive (LHD) passenger seat has an electronic control unit (ECU), but the right hand drive (RHD) driver's seat doesn't. Perhaps I should check under the passenger seat to see if there's anything there. It seems like they replaced the relay, but I need to check my invoices to be sure. I will clean it up. For some reason, I just can't seem to find the time to replace my front suspension (spring removal fear) because I have another work to look into. -
Hi Approximately ten years ago, I experienced issues with my windscreen wipers becoming stuck and the ASR light coming on. After bringing it to the local garage multiple times, the mechanic eventually informed me that he believed the problem was with the driver side seat convenience feature, which moves back when you unlock the car to make getting in easier. While driving along the M1 in heavy rain, the wiper became stuck again. I eventually figured out that the indicator stalk was to blame; by keeping it in a certain position, it started working again. However, it did not cure the problem. Today I recalled that the mechanic had disabled this "convenience feature"; I considered turning it back on, but I couldn't find any controls for it on the seat; perhaps the mechanic tinkered with the fuses or relays. Since I don't recall ever having this feature—or perhaps I'm just forgetting about it—I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me as to what it is and how to disable it (the opposite of disabling is enabling). I really enjoy this handy feature on my wife's automobile!

AMG SL55 or Mercedes-Benz SL500? Refusing to Make a Call
CyberNinja replied to MrGreedy's topic in General Discussions
R230, I assume, is the generation in question. The Mercedes-Benz with its innovative but costly to repair and maintain ABC suspension, hydraulic roof, etc., is just as likely, if not more so, than the Porsche to rack up thousands of pounds in repairs and maintenance costs. Of course, you might not be experiencing any issues at all; after all, you could be relying solely on the stories you read about in online forums. Plus, the m113 engine is both innovative and somewhat resistant to damage. -

Convertible 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-class
CyberNinja replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
I appreciate your feedback, however those wheels are authentic MB 20-inchers. I will contact my local MB dealer to find out how much the key fob and coding will cost. Then, I will determine the price of the full service. Thank you everyone for your help; this is a wonderful community. I appreciate it. -
Hello, I am in search of some knowledge regarding a couple subjects. I've done my research, including checking with HP Finance to see if the vehicle has an exceptional MOT history, etc., and I'm hoping to purchase a 2019 E class convertible. If anyone has any ideas or can assist me figure out my concerns, please let me know. (1) The car only has one key fob. Can I just buy replacement key fobs from this major dealer, or is there somewhere else I can acquire one? Since it is behind schedule and missed a service, I was wondering how much the full service version will cost. The e-class is sitting on 20-inch wheels without locking wheel nuts; does anyone know where I can buy them, other than MB Main Dealer? (3) I'd rather not take it there. Much obliged.

Discard the locking wheel bolts and replace them with regular bolts if that is what you mean. In fact, there might be a plastic container containing a set of four in your vehicle; during the pre-delivery check, the providing dealer will remove them and replace them with the locking ones. Wheel theft has been eradicated.

W213 Revamp: Is Assyst Plus Not Working Properly?

Was the vehicle requesting maintenance? It could have been hoping for July's appointment. -
Perform a multimeter resistance test.

An Inquiry Concerning Cabin Pollen Nets

With any luck, I'll be able to get my money back and get the right filter. Kia would likely refuse a warranty claim if they discover an aftermarket filter in your HVAC system and attribute any future problems to it. You can get one from Kia for around £15. -

Many respectable businesses are willing to do that... I don't have personal experience with them, but I think Lepsons have been brought up before:

Some single-piece copies are available; they are virtually identical (with faux "bolts" around the rim) and cost a tenth of what the real thing used to cost. By the way, I was able to acquire an authentic R129 AMG accessories rear box through eBay.de — they are exceptionally uncommon because they were incredibly pricey when they were first released. Standard equipment with simple steel tailpipes facing downwards was even installed on the SL60 AMG.
