Could I ask where you got the high level shelf?
That would be really useful
I made it, but off-the-shelf solutions are available as per above. |

When you fit one of those towbar-mounted carriers and plug the lights in, does the car then think it’s got a trailer attached?
I’m wondering if it then applies the adjusted gearbox mapping etc. ... |

| The other party’s insurer cannot financially write off your car, only yours can do that. Your claim is against the other party (via their insurer), so be clear with your own insurer about that. |

Was it difficult to do?
I have the same issue and would be keen to know if the front camera swap is a hard job and what the part cost is. |

With a IIDTool you can enable ACC.
I think there’s now a way to set the car to remember your preference on the ADAS stuff too - i.e. stop it defaulting back to fully on each time you start it. |

The madness of £84k aside, this is the the pressure screen in the driver display.

There’s a dipstick for oil level.
A GAP IIDTool can read oil temperature/pressure and just about every value held in the ECUs, but there’s no way of displaying it on the Pivi screen.
