I first bought a cheepone off amazon but had problems with sound from Waze and Google maps, changed to an Ottocast Pico, thinking the button may reconnect easily, but that isnt the case, i have to have bluetooth on to connect first, then it uses the wifi , when the nav app sound doesnt work i just remove the ottocast and reinsert it, the sound then starts ( found it is the same with the cheap unit i had too

HI @numskull when ever ive bought springs and suspension parts from autodoc ive always paid for the "safe order" option it only costs a fraction but allows you the option to return unused item within 200 days ( 6.5 months) rather than 14 days

@Lutz_91 damn … I’m always late to the party … I’d does look sweet @Binx1310 yep I’ve seen the stick on ones but would prefer to have subtle changes that could be “factory options “ so sometime I may get round to buying both types and seeing if I can cobble the L&K lens onto the regular puddle lights

Nice, do these replace the standard lights??? do you have a link for them please

it would have taken me ages to do a job like this,, as soon as id have got the rear bumper off id have been side tracked into cleaning all the hidden white-ish panels ,,, i get easily distra,,, ooh squirrel !!!!

@JayLibove looking at your eBay link, the items being posted from Shenzhen, China, so more than likely the person is just reselling it from AliExpress quick Google on their site comes up with similar items for a lot cheaper but I don’t know how the price would change for your location

I bought these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006419747360.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.26.21ef1802RN8g9I they fit in the rear of my boot near the back seat (2017 Superb Hatchback) and i got a spare set thinking about cutting a couple of holes in the tailgate trim and fitting them into the tailgate so once the tailgate is open light shines down i later realised that id need a switch, so started looking for 12v led lights with a built in switch, these look promising as cutting 2 round holes will be tidyer than trying to cut straight lines, but i dont know how bright they would be https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165754443736 i was thinking of wiring the led lights into the wiring for the numberplate lights, as the extra lights would be powered off during the day,

One “SMALL” project done ??? I’d love to know what other “small” projects you are thinking about doing And I’d love to know how to do the jobs myself too ( or if you’re thinking of selling the kits),,, love to try the massage chair too

My mistake… thought we were talking about Skoda drivers, not BMW drivers 😜

i had a simular problem when fitting a carplay unit to my mums DS3 the base was flat and the dash was curved, i used a dremal and stanley knife to cut a couple of lines parlualy through the baseand then used a cigar lighter ( looks like a mini blow torch) to heat the plastic and bend it to the angle of the dash, the supplied tape stuck down much better

i was under the impression that Lane Assist "pulls you back" into your lane if you unintentionally drift out of your lane, so if you intend to cross into another lane and indicate before starting to move into the next lane it will allow you to complete the manovure

As I said I don’t know the layout of your car, so don’t know where your intercooler or coolers are, my Exeo was the 170 BHP so had two rather than one in front of the passenger wheel and a connecting pipe in front of the drivers wheel, it was a drivers one that gone, in my case… so not sure if it helps, but if it gives you something else to check out then it may give you some ideas Good luck

While not knowing your car it reminds me a bit about my old Seat Exeo, it had 2 intercoolers in front of the front wheels in the bumper from time to time there was a whooshing noise but not all the time, i couldn’t work out where the noise was coming from until the seal popped out between the plastic and the aluminium cooler when it gave up completely the car lost all boost (on the M6 in the right had lane while overtaking) and went into limphome mode then i could rally hear the noise while driving but not on tic over,, i ended up getting a stick on the accelerator to try and replicate "driving at speed" might be worth a look if the noise is coming from the intercooler area
