If your eyes are so light sensitive maybe you should see doctor because there is something wrong with your eyes.

Re: Stop start and braking

I also sit with my foot on the brake when I’m stopped. I do sometimes wonder if my brake lights will annoy the driver of the car immediately behind, although looking at other cars queuing in front of me, most of those also have the brake lights illuminated. Well... I think you should always sit you...

Re: Individual driving modes

I have my gearbox in sport, suspension in normal, steering in sport and engine sound in eco. The engine sound will purely be the sound aktuator which is annoying and pointless and suspension in normal most the time as I live in a pothole ridden area. Apart from that the gearbox is in sport except I...

Re: Dashcams

maybe the 900 has addressed a lot of faults that the 650 had? With my experiences though, I'd never touch them again. The F770 2 camera set was about the same price, same Sony Exmor chipset, Leica lenses, internal car battery management (no need for a separate "magic box) and you can read a nu...

Re: Dashcams

Steer clear of blackvue. They're expensive and the picture quality is great - which is fine if you're prepared to pay good money for a good dashcam, but they overheat easily. I had 2 blackvue 650 2ch sets fail on me in a month. We have Thinkware F770 Front and back in our 2 cars, 5 years old and tr...

Re: Bluetooth phone

My friends are continually telling me that they can hear their voices so it echoes.
Not very high quality design. 🤔

Re: OBDeleven

Exactly, you need the battery voltage requirement at a level that the car can't achieve. You think I haven’t tried? It is not possible to increase it to 16V or any other. I tried everything from 12V to 20V Re stop/start, you may find parameters for minimum and maximum ambient temperatures, default ...

Re: OBDeleven

You should increase the threshold voltage, not decrease it, to disable the stop start, suggest 16V or so. Exactly, you need the battery voltage requirement at a level that the car can't achieve.
