    Anyone with over 40k miles on their Rex? Please chime in

    Not yet CCJ. I am at about 31,000km which is pretty low. Once, after the engine came on the check engine light came on. I bought a OBD2 unit and pulled the code (high fuel rail pressure) and reset. It has not come on since. Pretty reliable so far!

    i3 Replacement Remote

    Mito, as Smar and Busaman stated, you cannot program a used key to your i3. Luckily for me the seller on eBay was forced to accept a return for the fob because they advertised it as an i8/i3 key and it was an i8 key. Those keys are clearly worthless except to wave around in bars to attract gold...

    i3 Replacement Remote

    Busaman, I am being told by two dealers here in Vancouver that the key cannot be programmed to a different car than it was originally coded to.

    Thanks Busaman. I stopped by the dealership and tried to do it - and it didn't work, as you suspected. I guess I will end up at the dealership!

    L2 Charging Very Slow

    Is it possible that one half of your breaker is popped or faulty and you are only getting one phase delivered to your EVSE? I had that happen to a stove many years ago. I didn't look at your instructions to see if the EVSE reports input voltage/faults.

    i3 Replacement Remote

    Smar, thank you for this very helpful advice. I haven't even taken possession of my 2014 REX but I was told it only had one key. I ordered one from eBay for $79 instead of $250 from the dealer. They quoted another $125 to program. So it gives me great hope I can do it myself. Thanks again for...
