picked up a 2018 SE with a 1.4TSI Auto today, what a nice car on the motorway

Ok so doesn't have all the toys but who cares ;o)

new mats & bootliner on order along with a SINOSMART reverse cam  which will get fitted once I get back from Scotland first week in march (presuming its come in from China by then) along with my dashcam (although I may do the front one this weekend and leave the rear until i get the reverse cam).

Also ordered some black badges to replace the chrome ones, no particular reason lol

Will also need to sort out a dog guard & luggage divider sometime, quite like this travall setup.

Anyways odd how the perspective makes it look small compared to the GFs Ioniq!!

actually there is one observation I meant to make after taking a ferret around in the settings.

I notice that under the ACC options you can configure it for Comfort|Normal|Eco|Sports however the car doesn't have a mode selector to switch between these in "non acc" driving.

Is it possible to add the switch or would it likely also need wiring loom and coding??

@East_Yorkshire_Retrofits Is the above observation/query something you may know about please?

Looks like a good one. You want to ask @ApertureS about the switch.

This is simply just how aggressive/economically the ACC itself behaves. You only have the option to change it manually because you don't have drive modes, if you had them then the ACC would be adjusted automatically

 

 

Drive modes are SWaP so protected features 

 

They can be added but they're not cheap. It's not just a case of adding a button and turning it on

cheers

so no option to add them as an infotainment option without a button? shame as the settings are obviously there ;o)

Drive modes aren't located in the infotainment unit, they're in the diagnostic gateway. They aren't functional without a valid license for each drive mode 

 

We can install them though 🙂

apologies, that was a tongue in cheek comment. I did understand what you originally wrote.

I was merely pondering outwardly
