    Sunroof- tilt part way?

    I figured it out! Love this 'feature' if you press and hold the tilt button the sunroof will tilt open. Keep holding it for 15 seconds, and the sunroof will close Now it is in reset mode and opens incrementally with the forward and backward buttons. Enjoy!

    Sunroof- tilt part way?

    Have a 2019 REX with sunroof. I really like the sunroof but of course it does get noisy at higher speeds. As it is winter I haven't opened it in a few months. To my surprise pushing the button last week did nothing. I then slid the button backwards for a moment and it tilted open just...

    Rattle under dashboard? Advice please!

    Buying a 2019 i3s REX, have a 7 day trial with it. I noticed a slight rattle in front - maybe under dash? I'm worried it will be annoying, I love the quiet of the car. Anyone have a similar experience and success troubleshooting? Hate to give the car back, prices are going up quickly with the...

    Purchasing 2019 i3s REX - 51k miles

    Looks like battery deterioration gets noticable after 1500-2000 charges. If they charged daily, probably about a thousand charges so far. I drive about 150 miles per week so not a heavy user, assuming nothing is broken when I get it, I expect it to last a long time. I did check the Batt.Kapa...

    Purchasing 2019 i3s REX - 51k miles

    Not really, I took over a $219/month lease so the residual is high, above KBB by several thousand. I'd really like the sport model - anyone have thoughts on mileage for this one offered? It's almost 50 miles per day for 3 years.

    Purchasing 2019 i3s REX - 51k miles

    Hi, My i3 REX lease is coming due at the worst possible time with gas prices high and everyone suddenly buying the i3. It doesn't help that they stopped making them! I was looking to step up to the 2019 i3s. One I found for a decent price has 51k miles. Though I compared 20k vs 51k miles...

    Dashcam - mount under license plate?

    Hi Leasing a 2019 i3 Rex. I don't really want to tear things up inside but interested in a dashcam with minimal wires showing. Hiding the camera would be even better. Was thinking about mounting the camera in the bumper area under the frunk. Looks like there are open grills down there. I...

    My i3 commited suicide via Active Cruise Control ACC

    Thank you, I appreciate your comment about lower-cost options. I need to go by and clean out the car so maybe I will ask. I'm worried that the insurance company will call it a total loss. I thought I could use the money to repair it cheaper but then they probably wouldn't be so excited about...

    My i3 commited suicide via Active Cruise Control ACC

    Thank you for your kind words. This has been a real bummer. It seems like body shops are incentivized to replace everything. For example both headlights look fine but he is telling me they need to be replaced at $800 each. The car's certainly declined in value but junking the car seems bad...

    My i3 commited suicide via Active Cruise Control ACC

    Well it beeps when I pull into my garage which I suppose is parking at low speeds, and it would squawk if I'm coming around the corner and there was a parked car on the side which is likely camera. I'm astounded at how much the parts cost and how much damage a low-speed collision causes to...

    My i3 commited suicide via Active Cruise Control ACC

    I understand that the camera is the only source of input to the active cruise control, but shouldn't the collision warning system have beeped? I thought that was related to the front distance sensors.

    My i3 commited suicide via Active Cruise Control ACC

    I normally drive with the active cruise control turned on and set to the speed limit. I figure besides tickets I can avoid running into unseen objects. A few days ago I was driving along a 2 lane wide street behind a white F-150 pickup truck with silver bumper and large tow hitch. The light...

    Car seat covers?

    Thank you for your post, I'm not sure how it came up after all this time. My issue is that I have the cloth seats. I have been very pleased with the car seat covers and just ordered replacement seat only. They're easy to wash and as the kids have aged there are fewer and fewer spills and...

    Battery warranty - 2014 i3 - range after charge?

    After searching the forum I am unable to find the number of miles I which I can bring it in and have them replace the batteries. When I went in for service I asked him to check the batteries and all they did was charge it and see that it said 70 miles of range remaining which is ok by them. I...

    iPhone 6 Bluetooth problems (solved)

    I have had problems with cheap cords. Spend up for an Apple one and I think you'll be fine. I just wish I could resolve the issue where the car locks into the phone stating there is a call in progress when it connects to the phone via Bluetooth. Have to shut the phone off and on or hold down...

    "Remote control battery is empty" message

    Hi When the car is parked and off, I get a warning tone and the above message when I open the unlocke trunk or a door. It then disappears after about 10 seconds. The key is at least 10 feet away from the car when in the garage, and I have just changed the batteries in both fobs (had the car...

    Class action lawsuit on battery reserve

    Just got a letter that they want to do a system update on my car, has anyone gone in recently? I'm concerned that they're going to force the REx to turn on at 15% or something ridiculous to prevent a low battery / power reduction situation. Not that I would ever do it but it's a simple matter...

    Turned down siren volume?

    Yes, those are the values we ended up with for a very quiet chirp. We had to experiment as some settings would not seem to work well such as only chirp on disarm. I'm not an expert on this, had help and was careful to document. Of course I would have you write your current values down before...

    Turned down siren volume?

    Arm/disarm chirp volume - successfully lowered it using: Buzzer level low, Ausgelesen, Werte=00 Buzzer level high, Ausgelesen, Werte=00 Buzzer frequency, Ausgelesen, Werte=7E Buzzer duration, Ausgelesen, Werte=04 Hope this helps others- it is much more pleasant now and I prefer it to being silent.
