Successfully upgraded entrynav2 from ID5 to ID6.
KissezFun replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
If you are as uninformed about coding as I am and doubt your ability to learn independently, seek a professional who possesses expertise in the field. We examined the car's capabilities, established a remote connection, he executed the code, and so, ID6 with Fullscreen-CarPlay and customisable colour schemes was achieved. I am exceedingly satisfied with both the procedure and the outcome. Anticipating forthcoming modifications. -

Hello, I wish to convey my experiences regarding the modifications made to my F57. One must commence at a certain point, therefore... My HU was already equipped with an 8.8" touchscreen, albeit featuring split-screen functionality and, in my opinion, antiquated looks. I believe it is time to update the iDrive.

Is Calkill Transport a legit company for purchasing a repo car ?
KissezFun replied to Geek2232's topic in General Discussions
I had a similar experience buying a 2020 Mini Countryman from them last month. A guy named Chris handled everything explained clearly how the payment works, what the 10-day return policy covers, and even sent extra photos of the car. Also worth noting: since 7th October 2024, UK banks now have to refund up to £85,000 if a customer gets caught in a push-payment fraud, which gave me some extra confidence. It’s a nice bit of backup if anything ever goes sideways. -

Auxiliary Gauges - From Where Do I Obtain a Signal?
KissezFun replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
I am currently considering locating a device that can interpret the information on the CAN, as all the sensors are already present and accessible through the concealed menus. The inexpensive AliExpress HUD devices can interpret the information, but I believe it would be preferable to have a set of analogue gauges similar to those in the initial post to exhibit the data. I am presently descending down this wormhole... -
Auxiliary Gauges - From Where Do I Obtain a Signal?
KissezFun replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
I have indeed perused AliExpress and observed the HUDs you referenced. I am quite fond of the concept of permanent gauges, however. I have noted that the Mighty Car Mods Hilux project utilises the standalone Haltech engine management system to control a stepper motor for the original speedometer, but that will require a restomod budget rather than an AliExpress budget. Richard from Bad Obsession Motorsport has engaged in Arduino programming for the dashboard of Project Binky, suggesting a potentially arduous endeavour in creating a custom build. Further research becomes necessary. -

As I anticipated. Utilising cables for connection was my desperate attempt for solutions. -

KissezFun replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
I wish to incorporate water temperature, oil temperature, and oil pressure, but what mechanisms will provide the necessary signals for the gauges? Is a device required to connect to the OBD? Is it an emulator or something similar? Are there physical wires available for connection? -

I observed a gauge holder on eBay that substitutes the ashtray (E91).

Advice for motorway driving with a 2007 BMW E92 335i
KissezFun replied to Ortsmatt's topic in General Discussions
I am certain that someone would offer you a greater amount instantaneously. I would purchase a 335i for that price if I were not apprehensive about my partner's reaction to acquiring a fourth vehicle for our home. 😂 The advantage of the motorway lies in its convenience; yet, selling privately may result in a frustrating experience. This topic has a section for sales. A substantial collection of images, a reasonable pricing, and a comprehensive history would significantly enhance the likelihood of a sale. -
93C2 SBE Seat Mat - Potential MOT Failure?
KissezFun replied to p00rmansp0rsche's topic in General Discussions
Although uncommon, a tester may accompany an individual in a continuous 4x4 vehicle throughout the braking test on the road to record the data. He will only fasten the seatbelt and apply a firm tug, but he will not occupy the automobile while doing so. -
Your only choice in this circumstance is to draw power from the fuse box and use a wire harness, likely sourced from the manufacturer, to prevent depleting your 12v battery. Alternatively, use a different brand of camera(s) that consumes less energy.

Welcome and have pleasure.

Negative. I am struggling to comprehend fundamental CAD, thus I believe AI will just exacerbate my difficulties.

I engage in 3D printing. A dear friend has lately said farewell to Titch, the family Jack Russell. He inquired if it was feasible to generate a 3D representation of himself using images. My preliminary study suggests that is feasible; has anybody among you done this? My understanding of CAD is akin to the song "TOO LOW FOR ZERO." I am eager to facilitate this for him and his spouse. They just had their first vacation following Titch's passing, and his wife collapsed at the front entrance, acutely aware that Titch would not be around to welcome her. Assistance in creating a 3D STL file for this endeavor will evoke several cherished memories for a wonderful family. I appreciate any assistance you may provide.

Establish a Mercedes me account (if one is not already in existence), register the VIN of your new vehicle to the Mercedes me account, and subsequently download the mobile application to ascertain the remote services accessible for your car; however, be prepared for a subscription fee should you choose to utilise any of the offered services.

W211 Xenon headlights consistently exhibit fogging.
KissezFun replied to jennycarlotta's topic in General Discussions
My Mercedes C207 was equipped with the advanced automatic dipping system. These are undoubtedly the finest headlights I have ever encountered (I understand the current version is even superior). In my experience, I think the Bi Hex headlights on my Skoda Superb to be inferior by comparison. -

I had the same problem with my 2009 CLK convertible. Attempted several alternatives, all unsatisfactory. Ultimately selected this option, which is tailored to the back quarter panel. The optimal reception, installed over a year ago, continues to function well, albeit it necessitates drilling into the bodywork.
