I use Android Auto with the HUD and it works fine. There was a bug with roundabout directions initially but that's subsequently been fixed.

The most basic lash up possible, not even any cable management (need a longer cable)

They are optional. I fed a cable from the boot 12v socket through the armrest!

I checked yesterday with standard lightning options and had the same experience... Visibility was next to useless

I drove a DSG Audi as my last car and found my shortish experience at motorway speed quite similar in feel. The Enyaq felt very relaxed and has really reliable acceleration...much smoother than the DSG. The tech has the potential to make motorway driving very low effort. I've been re-reading the manual so am ready for another go... I do think the people testing it with hands off the wheel are insane, mind. I suppose the main challenge is going to be planning stops to recharge. I'm already worrying about my long trips on holiday and where we'll recharge or choosing holiday cottages where a granny cable will reach! Suspect that'll be easier if you're following the same routes regularly.

So far, I've only driven it back from the dealers, about an hour's run on a mix of roads. It felt very sedate to drive, but responsive too - just like a lot of the reviews found. I played with the braking regen a bit and quite enjoyed using the actual brake as little as possible. The range was about 350mi when I picked it up and had gone down to 342mi by the time I got home. Most of it was 50mph limit, so it felt very efficient. I guess it'll start averaging better as I drive it more. The interior space is amazing. So much room. Although the Loft interior fabric seems a bit thinner than I'm used to. The tech is also amazing. I paired my Android phone with the car and used Android Auto to navigate via Google Maps. It worked seamlessly and showed the directions in the HUD. The HUD is also really cool. I messed with the predictive cruise control a bit but couldn't really gain the confidence it was 'on' properly. It seemed to slow down a bit when it got closer to the car in front, but not enough for my liking. I ended up just using the cruise control as though it were dumb. The speed limit sign recognition is a bit scary - it seems to pick up any sign it could 'see' including slower speed limits for side roads as we passed them. If the predictive cruise control had been operational, it would have braked to that limit! Someone else had noted the same. I'm worried enough by that to think about disabling it. Overall, it's lovely to drive and I'm going to enjoy getting to grips with all the tech. If you have any specific questions - happy to try answer them.

I was quoted a separate earth spike for the charger. They couldn't find anywhere to put it when they came to install the charger, and concluded they didn't need it anyway after inspecting the consumer unit. I was refunded for it, no fuss, the next day...

Collected my Enyaq iV 80 yesterday. Loft trim and Energy Blue.
