Re: Auto Clock Update

It's amazing. You can buy a clock with a date for a pound, and it will account for GMT and BST.

But despite the car being internet connected, knowing what country it is in, and knowing the date, it is still not an option.

Re: Auto stop/start

My Auto Start/Stop seems to be unwilling right now, so I tried this, and the battery light did indeed flash after a few moments What a strange sequence of actions. I was wondering if I'd have to tap the dashboard thrice as well. Anyway, thanks for the tip Red L, and it will be interesting to see if ...

Thanks, I could do that, but pulling the USB for the adaptor would be quicker.

Re: Questions

Apart from pulling the adaptor USB plug, is there a way of temporarily disconnecting AA if you are using a Bluetooth adaptor? If I turn off the Bluetooth on the phone, it just turns it on again, annoyingly. I can't see a relevant App permission.

Re: Auto Box - Neutral when stopped?

Do you have a manual or auto? I have an auto and never put mine in neutral when i stop unless it’s going to be a significant amount of time. Start/stop doesn’t work when the car is in neutral so that to me says that you should probably leave it in drive. Yes Nick, I use my common sense. If I am sto...
