How'd you manage that, Was it right off the lot? Mine is under factory warranty until October of this year but i can't imagine they'd do anything more than laugh at me if i asked for a screen replacement.

I agree, they must've cleaned it with sandpaper and toothpaste and finished it off with a wire brush. For now i'll live with it as my initial idea was to change the 7" screen with the 10.3".

I'll attach some pics to show how bad it really is There are also a couple small chips right on the screen! i can't imagine what would possess someone to damage the screen that way considering it's not even touch screen. Fortunately this damage isn't really visibile unless it's in direct sunlight, and for the moment 80% of my drives are after sunset. I tried polishing the gear selector indicator as it was lightly scuffed but that didn't work and may've made the situation worse, unwilling to back down i also tried polishing the screen behind the drive mode selector in case it came out rubbish and lo and behold... it was. Seems polishing will likely ruin the antiglare and keep the scratches anyway. If i ever end up going to a professional i'll ask for a hail mary but in the mean time it's whatever.

This is going to seem like a very stupid question, but would it be a good idea to polish the infotainment screen? My screen is fairly damaged, previous owner seemed to have not been careful around it. I figured a mild compound wouldn't be too aggressive and would remove a plethora of the damage. It's not a touchscreen, so there shouldn't be any olephobic coating to rub off?

Figured you meant the 322F or 422F Im not familiar with the stock speaker dimensions, but i assume there are no clearence issues with these

What JBLs did you swap in? Did you by any chance take some pics while installing? Thanks!

I found the 6 speaker system surprisingly decent, in my experience all stock sound systems sound terrible but i found i was able to enjoy 90% of my spotify playlists. The BOSE system in my old S3 and the "Premium" Audio in my E are much better, this is missing some kick but nothing a subwoofer couldn't fix. I have some light, but equally noticable and annoying rattles in the door, close to the arm rest with certain frequencies. I'm close to installing sound isolation or wrapping all the wires in felt. Interesting, what speakers did you swap them with? Was it plug n play or did you DIY some mounting holes?

The dealer ended up not touching up the chip as it was pouring out and i was in a rush, so they ended up giving me a container of paint instead I ordered a blending solution, some clear coat and decided to just tackle this as a DIY. Unfortunately, driving back from the dealer, a rock chipped my windshield, which i can't fix with the newly acquired paint

I must've jinxed it.. i get in the car to go to the gym and im greeted by this error. Checking online it seems that it should resolve with a firmware update, however i was unsuccessful. Odd how it was working fine so far and then suddenly crapped itself without warning. I was able to return it as i was just within the month, but this was not ideal.

Dell, I also wasn't able to find the adapter Ronnie mentioned anywhere online. I have a Carlinkit 5.0 bought for €70 on amazon (although i try to avoid buying from there) at a discount. You'll find some mixed reviews online but in my experience it has been working very well and am very happy with it.

Hi Mike, Can you physically mount a 235 tyre on a 7J? Yes but this is dependent on the manufacturer. How the tyre fits on a wheel is a bit more nuanced than just looking at the size. I personally wouldn't do this, homologation issues aside (i assume the UK has approved sizes like we do in Italy), you're likely going to ruin your ride quality, throw off your speedo readings due to the diameter differences and it's potentially unsafe. If you absolutely have to go bigger, get some wider wheels too. If necessary, keep the F-Sports for winter tyres or sell them altogether.

Unfortunately the "Midnight" trim doesn't have that option. I have to close the mirrors when entering the garage anyway so it wouldn't cover my use case 😁

My main worry is substituting that crater with a blob of paint 😁 Figured it'd come out cleaner doing the whole shebang, albeit more complicated and time consuming. You're right however, if the touch up ends up being terrible i'll live with it or get it done professionally. Cheers

Is "smart access" that credit card looking thing, or does that include the standard "keyless" key fob? You can hear the noise i'm referring to is in this video at 2:14. Allegedly other models (NX, RX etc) have a setting in the "Vehicle Customization" menu called "Lock/Unlock Feedback-Tone". It should be configurable, so if you don't want it you could always turn it off. I don't have this setting in my infotainment screen, i do have a power boot which does beep when opening/closing but i guess it's not the same speaker used for locking/unlocking. Sometimes i forget if i locked the car so it just would've been a more convenient way of making sure if it's locked 😁

I understand why the boot capacity may seem poor, but in my case it could be conisdered "too much". More than fine for weekend trips where i don't need to load more than a few backpacks and other misc items. Length wise it seems about as long as my old S3, maybe just not as deep, but as Gary mentioned the flexible parcel shelf doesn't limit nearly as much as i thought it would. My main complaint is that my UX (maybe all?) doesn't have the audible feedback (beep/beep-beep) when locking/unlocking
