Re: Spotify app not launching

Turns out my BlackVue DR750LTE dashcam does deliver internet for connected devices! So everything is working well. This is despite BlackVue telling me it isn’t supposed to work - must have been the firmware update. I’m glad because the dashcam is chunky and it must have served this purpose. The Spot...

Re: Spotify app not launching

I should have came here first. I thought tethering wasn’t working so I purchased a dashcam with 4g to provide wifi to the unit (Australians don’t have the modem installed for virtual assistance). Cost me a lot of money and turns out the dashcam doesn’t deliver internet to wifi connected devices. Urr...

Re: MY21 only 1 main key confirmed

I am from Australia. Ask your dealer/service folks if they can reprogram the care key to be the primary key. Must be tribal knowledge…

Re: MY21 only 1 main key confirmed

Contrary to some of what has been said above I do believe the orange key can be re-programmed. I was negotiating to replace our 2019 T4 for a new T5 recharge and said I wanted a second key as part of the deal as we had found the two user profiles very useful. While our dealer would not give me a se...

Re: MY21 only 1 main key confirmed

Hey so I read this thread before picking up my car today. I called the sales agent and complained about it yesterday. My child is about 12 years from being able to drive, so the care key is no use! The service people here had a unique solution which allows us to program our name and settings against...

Re: Poll: Lead times ( from order till delivery)

It’s hard lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. I called the dealer and put a conditional deposit down. FWIW I have not test driven the car (R Design) yet so this forum has been my eyes and ears. It was meant to be delivered in Feb 2022. Sales guy calls me up after I agree and says the pearl white (wha...

Re: G’day!

Thanks Step!

Ive read a lot and it appears the interior is closer to a Medium sized SUV than it is a traditional small SUV. Medium size is too big for the misses so it seemed like the XC40 was the right size.

It’s really good to hear it from somebody who owns one that they can pack a lot in.

G’day!

G’day from down under :D Great forum you have here and thank you for having me. Family of four - 6yo and one brewing during feb :o. We put down a conditional deposit for an R Design picking up after our lockdown ends! Question- thoughts on it fitting 2 child seats, a stroller, and a few bibs and bobs?
