Fuel gauge / range weirdness / capacity
Haha, glad I'm not the only one Well, I watched it come out but maybe paper jam or just plain old IT issue.

My 245 has power seats both sides, with memory on the drivers side.

Fuel gauge / range weirdness / capacity
Mystery solved! I checked my bank account & that shows Β£75.59 (I honestly didn't pay any attention when actually stood there at the pump! it just needed filling up) so 75.59 / 1.639 which is 43.1L That all makes a lot more sense although I am 20 quid poorer Only Tesco know who's receipt they provided me with (it came from the pump after requesting a receipt). Right date, time & fuel type wrong amount and cost π€¦ββοΈ Lovely car.. sorry I doubted you π₯°

Fuel gauge / range weirdness / capacity
Clearly there was a fair amount of capacity still remaining when I filled up though in order to only get 27 and a bit back in

Fuel gauge / range weirdness / capacity
JR, no I meant what I wrote, but looks like I thought about it the wrong way round.. I had concluded that maybe I could have squeased in another 6 if I'd have kept trying, but now I've written that down it does seem totally daft π€¦π½

Fuel gauge / range weirdness / capacity
From the user manual. Assume it's from fuel gauge reading full to brimming the tank

Fuel gauge / range weirdness / capacity
I filled up today expecting a fairly hefty bill given the current world issues.. The fuel light was on, showing 20miles till empty and I filled the tank till the pump shut off. 27.59L You what mate? Tank is supposed to be 50+6 I know I could have kept trying to put more in after that first click (assume the +6 is if you keep going with the pump till it dribbles down the paint work), but I never normally bother doing that so that means the tank still has at least 22L still in it, yet the gauge was telling me close to nothing left and the range pestering me to find a filling station. So wasn't a huge expense day after all - a bonus of sorts Maybe Tesco sell very dense fuel π Is this level of fuel gauge mediocrity normal?

Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
I get exactly the same, give up trying now. I imagine ultimately it's not worth the effort in spending a third day scratching my head.

@langers2k Spesh thanks for annotating those screen grabs.. Not sure I would have clocked the effect in the video without it I don't think

Dynamic cornering light help / education
Thankyou both. Yes that really is subtle, I'd have to have been totally not concentrating on where I was going to have noticed that which is probably a good thing π€£ It's not like I can't see with these lights, best I've ever had. Only complaint is the activation speed of the highbeam on auto (hba), imo is too scary in our twisty country lanes, so have to use my left hand like a normal person π Cheers!

Dynamic cornering light help / education
So I won't see them when stationary? (LOW speed not NO speed) I've been turning the steering wheel and getting out to check. Maybe that's why I'm convinced nothing is happening in the main cluster. I agree, this is one adaptation I probably won't be doing. Do all FL VRS have LED clusters then? Thanks

LED dynamic cornering lights
Ummm, same question.. sorry (notsorry) for dragging this thread back up. facelift 245 vrs nothing happening in main light cluster for cornering.

Dynamic cornering light help / education
Hi all. I have this option to set when I change individual mode under vRS button but definitely don't see any cornering light activity. VRS mode > individual > change > Dyn. Cornering light > sport / eco / normal I get nothing regardless of the driving mode setting. My lights are set to left hand side traffic and dial is set to auto. Did all 245 MY18 come with this as standard? I'm not even sure what lights I have, just that they are bright π€£ Any help appreciated, cheers

VCDS adaptation - Traffic Sign Recognition - Activation - FL MY18 245 vRS - Working
Maybe I'm thick but struggled a fair bit with various instructions getting this particular one to work so thought I'd write my own and share whilst it was still fresh in my mind. My vehicle is a late 2017 FL 245 vRS estate fitted with Amundsen MIB2 (I think) 5Q0035874C S/W-0468 I has previously activated HBA & already had lane assist Tested so far, under vehicle settings I can enable disable TSR and enable over speed warning and set the amount over the speed I want the warning to occur. (2 new options and a slider) Also Trailer recognition and options are new to me I think. Instrument cluster display shows traffic sign top centre. navigation direction arrow moves to bottom right. This disappears if you choose the driving information variable display. Main navigation gets a speed sign, dunno if that's new cant remember. I do get a pop up warning if I exceed the selected over the limit limit, presume I'll get an auditable tone with different option selected. Yet to have a proper drive with it so will report back when I have if anything isn't working as it should (ref page 185 Owner's manual) This is all definitely just from Nav map data so far as it hasn't 'clapped eyes' on a real road sign yet Step 1. Module 5F - Information Electr Adaptation Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-traffic_sign_recognition_0x21 - Activated Car_Function_Adaptions_Gen2-menu_display_road_sign_identification - Activated Car_Function_Adaptions_Gen2-menu_display_road_sign_identification_over_threshold_high - Activated Step 2. Module A5-frt Sns. Drv. Assist Security access - 20103 Control unit Long Coding Byte 16,Bit 04, Activate Step 3. Module 17-Instruments Long Coding - Byte 5, Bit 02, Traffic Sign Detection, yes, Activate, plus check the soft reset checkbox. Done.
