    Coding the i3

    I have an i3 rex (early 2015) with the latest Nov 15 software. I have E-SYS 3.26.1 installed, with a soft token, and it launches fine. I have the obd/ethernet cable. I'd like to gen an FSC code for updated maps. I've seen a few documents on doing this such as...

    What happen to Tap Talk integration?

    it's my first visit here in a few months, quite simply because I do virtually all my browse/read from mobile apps/tapatalk. I really hope that can be fixed

    Control Display Stuck after USB update.

    Mine did the same -- I figured it was because the car was charging. I ended up pulling the charge plug and locking the doors, and I think it went off...

    'Premium sound'... not so fast.

    I'm not going to pretend to be audiophile, though I do appreciate "decent" quality (not "ultimate") I also appreciate ease of use & access.. for that reason I've gone with Spotify premium (think it's around 384 kbps Vorbis V9 on extreme quality). I've not looked in detail at which codec is...

    Navigation map update process ?

    Quick reply on the POI search - restuarant, hotel etc I generally use the "online search" which seems to work pretty well for fairly unique names. searches in google then easy to navigate to...

    Navigation map update process ?

    My car shipped with 2015-1. (April 2015). I was able to download, put the 2015-2 on a usb stick and update. No codes needed YMMV As to differences, not really.. since I did it soon after getting the car it's tough to say. I don't remember so much detailed junction guidance? just a feeling may...

    Extended test drive and...Did you know?

    that article is pure conjecture. I wouldn't place too much faith in the details.. it's guesses, which we all can do.

    I3 seats causing back pain ?

    feels better than the leaf to me, and I've been in and out the car for quite a few hours having done around 1700 miles in 6 weeks for leisure. I'm sure it's a very individual thing and I've never really had back issues in a car.

    Advice from current i3 owners who owned a Nissan Leaf

    Most has already been said. I too had a leaf for 3 years and moved to the i3 six weeks ago. The "killer" feature for me was the rex. Though I had the leaf as my only car and did longer journeys (>250 in a day) it required more planning, care, plan a/b/c. In the rex I've already ventured into...

    Would you buy it again?

    Yes . Easily. Had the car 6 weeks and loving it. Moved from leaf REX is the killer feature, despite only using 6l so far. Better fittings, tech, performance too.

    Connected Drive Question

    somewhere on the connected drive website there are options for enabling control of the car -- login and take a browse through the settings Try "settings / set up services"

    Internet option

    When I got my i3 a few weeks back, the uk "connected drive" site wasn't accepting registrations. In order to get remote access I configured my car against the german site. Worked a treat for remote lock/unlock/preconditioning/range etc.. and whilst over half of the connected drive menus were in...

    Hi, Is there any chance to have a mobile friendly design our support for a tool like Tapatalk ? I tend to do most browsing of fora in little snippets mostly from ✆ or tablet . Thanks

    Emergency fuel can for frunk

    I've had a rex less than a week and ordered an "explosafe" 10l can. Not used it yet, but I'm keeping it for longer/more remote drives. not for daily use. I'm not so keen on carrying on a regular basis, the frunk appears convenient but safety wise not so sure... that being said I went for the...
