Set of Crossclimate 3's went on today. That'll make my IV a tank for the winter months, so fannying on with snow and ice like everyone else. Had them on my old Exeo, and I could literally drive around 4x4's that had got stuck.

And now all done. Went without any trouble, thankfully.

All done now. Using the 3 files from here: https://mega.nz/folder/6B1yxYqY#VGP-rXf4CJ5h-xnkEg_hQg USB C Stick in the slot under the screen Open the service menu (ignition on, press the menu button I think it was, the top left one - hold 10+ seconds until it comes up) Then just go through the on screen steps. Takes a while sometimes to realise you need to press something, and sometimes you need to scroll down, but its not too tricky. Then just wait until its done. I had a quick drive after each of the 3 updates just to make sure it didn't throw any codes, but nope, all fine. Even got that OTA update that's been bugging me for months and a message saying it was completed. Happy days.

Managed to get the first in the path on earlier today, looks good so far. Will do the other 2 later.

Can I ask - I'm on 0276 and I have the daily "update" message that apparently needs a FW update to be carried out. Reading this thread, it seems that if I update it manually, some other things will break and I can't fix them? Is that correct, or is there a full fix now? Thanks.

Long Story short, it was just the app N7 Player.

Is there a really simple guide to manually updating the FW on a UK spec 2021 iV L&K?

If that's the app that lets you lock the car, start the heating etc - yes I have that. Always have. Still no OTA update other than this daily UI update one. Is there a way to trigger it to start either in the car or on the app? Have never been to a dealer with this car, its 2021, so hardly under warranty or anything. Have the SOS error too at the moment (and the charger flap fail, which is going to get fixed next week)

I looked into this years ago when I worked night shifts and had countless hours on my hands. Came to the conclusion that Millers Diesel Eco Max or whatever it is called wouldn't hurt, and could well help. Found it was largely the same thing that fuel stations add to their standard fuel to make it their premium version, just that it works out miles cheaper to do it yourself. So yeah, I bought a huge can of the stuff, and added it to all the diesel cars I had from then onwards. No longer own one but gave the leftovers to my dad who uses it in his Seat.

I haven't been offered a system update, just daily for that UI update for months. Any way to trigger it to happen?

Still having the issue, assume I'm on an old FW version - is that the fix, updating the FW? Is there a simple guide to doing that?

Hi All Could anyone comment on their experience with using the Remote app to cool their car remotely? For me, it seems to work, but not especially well. Its possible that its better when I have the car connected to a charger vs not connected at all, which is something I'd need to test a little bit more now I'm mindful of it. I'm going to the car in a few mins, and I kicked it off 15mins ago, so I'll see how it feels this time and start to take more notice in future. Also, is anyone else getting quite regular System Updates at the moment? I seem to get them every few days! I've been watching them complete by opening them in the notifications panel, where you can see the progress. But still seems to be ever more a few days later. (Its a 2021 iV L&K)

Slightly happier to hear its not just me! Although sadly I've tried the pressing pause thing, no joy I'm afraid.

Driving me mad! I play music with N7 player through my android auto. About 75% of the time when I stop the car, the music plays until I open my door, and then a few seconds later I notice that its playing on my phone speaker. I've never had this issue before, and nobody else seems have any idea what's causing it. Any suggestions? Its really annoying!

2 complete different problems unfortunately. Took a day to diagnose, then order the part which took 3 days to come. Then it was fitted and tested - which worked, but didn't clear the fault. So had to strip the rear end, to get into the guts of the traction battery system, see if it could be fixed - couldn't - ordered another part, fitted. But yeah, was doubly frustrating. Imagine it would have cost more at a dealers, although might have been quicker.
