When the ODBEleven backup is taken, where in the phone is it stored?

Don't forget to take a backup before you start modifying. It ain't quick but could be very useful. 🤞🤞👍👍

Never see 18s and front parking sensors
Doubt it'll be reflected in it's value !!

Never see 18s and front parking sensors
I have 18s and front parking sensors. When I ordered the car last year the VRS challenge was better value but couldn't be ordered with 18s so I had to go down the regular 245 route and add the options I thought I needed. While the 19s may look better, the 18s give a better ride and the tyres cost much less.

Kerbed alloys
Yeah, I used Prestige Wheels based in Stockport. They sent out a mobile repairer. The finish looked fine, they sanded down the damaged area and filled to look OK. I suppose it depends on how deep the damage is.

Dash Cam recomandations
Yeah, I suppose it's balancing the number of times you speed against the number of numpties driving out there. My understanding is that the authorities can take dashcam footage if they think it's helpful in an accident. Personally, I prefer to take a chance with the odd bout of speeding against the near misses.

You are right, many forces are using dashcam footage to prosecute dangerous driving but beware. If your speed is recorded and shows over the limit, you can be prosecuted for speeding.

No driving mode selection?
That's true but they can show you how to access it. If it's not there it's been incorrectly sold to you??

Is it worth having a word with the Dealer?

It's accessed via the VRS button on the centre console

Broken lug between air filter box and manifold
It might be a good idea to drill a hole in the manifold webbing. However, please remember that all components are designed down to a loading limit and drilling through the webbing may weaken the manifold and cause a failure. Of course I could be over thinking your problem, but I'm just putting a thought out there. Good luck. 👍👍

I have a Nextbase 522GW and love it. As for the screen, it turns off a few seconds after starting up.

Rear camera - can I change to turn it on when I want?
On a car that does not have park assist, like mine, the P button activates the camera. However, the camera de-activates at speeds above 15 KPH

Rear camera - can I change to turn it on when I want?
I have a rear view camera and I can activate the camera by pressing the P (arking ) button on the console in front of the gearstick. I also have a Nextbase dashcam. If the rear fitted rear view camera is used, it interferes with the DAB signal and I am informed that there is no fix for this. If the front fitted rear view camera is fitted, it is useless if there are any passengers in the rear seats. Good luck

Front Wipers no automatic option in menu
Is it possible that the VCDS mods have somehow removed the auto wipers option? I know that when I did some VCDS mods on my previous VRS, I got some strange results. Sadly, I hadn't taken a backup so couldn't go back to square one.

Front Wipers no automatic option in menu
Is HBA standard for the 245 Challenge or did you enable it via VCDS/OBD eleven?

Front Wipers no automatic option in menu
I have a 19 plate 245 and the option for Auto wipers is a menu option.

Front Wipers no automatic option in menu
The little drops change the sensitivity of the auto wipers, or the intermittent interval for non-auto wipers. The switch has nothing to do with the wiper speed directly. On auto wipers, the speed is dependant on how much rain hits the sensor, i.e. more rain = faster wipers.
