    How does 2015 i3 work with iPhone?

    Pairs and works fine, Siri can be triggered via steering wheel buttons. But no app interoperability other than Spotify which I have junked in favour of Apple Music now.

    Any tips instructions on removing pillar covers & headliner?

    Hard wired my BlackVue in the front and had no issue tucking the cable under the headlining and behind the weather seal in the door A pillar. No need to remove any trim to do that?

    Annoyingly short central console....seriously??

    You're free to disagree but that doesn't make your driving style correct or safe. They may call it an arm rest but it's not designed, nor intended for you to rest your arm on whilst driving. Rest your amor whilst using drive perhaps yes, but otherwise your hands should be on the steering wheel...

    Annoyingly short central console....seriously??

    You're not supposed to be resting your forearm on the console, both hands on steering wheel!

    Bmw i3 Range verses 2015 nissan leaf

    I also have a Leaf before the i3. Mine was a 2013 model so the MKII with heat pump etc. I'm managing better range from the i3 which, given it has a smaller battery, is pretty good. I can easily get 5miles/kW in the i3 whereas I struggled to get more than 4.5 in the Leaf. Best trip distance so...

    Frunk bags?

    Indeed, I baulked at the list price but found a dealer selling via Amazon here in the UK and got it for near half the list price which is closer to what it's worth IMHO.

    Frunk bags?

    The dedicated i3 frunk bag does for me although it really should be standard equipment.

    Window Tint

    2015 models all have black side mirror housings, at least they do here in the UK.

    Rear Side Window Sunshades

    If you hover over the image the zoomed in view shows it's mesh.

    Electrical Storm Passes: Doors Unlocked, Windows Half-Down..

    I've only had mine a month and this happened to me recently. Came out to find the drivers window half way down (only that window?) and the door card and seat soaked as it was pouring down. The key was hanging up so couldn't have been inadvertently pressed.

    Switched 12 volt connection

    I don't have ACC on mine but installed it directly below the sensor shroud with the cable running inside it to keep it tidy. It's not visible from the driving seat.

    Switched 12 volt connection

    FWIW I used unused fuse location #51 in the end, it's ignition switched. Camera now installed and working AOK.

    Dash Cam Recommendations?

    Most dash cams? Some of the cheaper ones that are modified webcams sure, but 'most' of the better dashcams are 12v native.
