Re: Front Radar Obstruction
Hi, Yes the only symbol I’m getting is the yellow 2 car crash light. I bought it private, but it’s not like we depend on it just want it to work basically. Not to sure about software updates it has had? ... Faults related that we see here would commonly throw up a distinct orange or red engine symb...

Re: Front Radar Obstruction
Very difficult to say. Its radar detection and processing that will control the ABS system. Is the two car crash symbol the only warning you get? Often you may get a check engine lamp orange or perhaps red at the same time if a fault exists. Try switching it OFF in the menu system for a while. Switc...

Re: Old Friend
See if you can remove the number plate characters from the pic. Some goons around could cause a problem

Re: Speed warning
Have a look in your car manual. Under the title "Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders " or similar. I have an electronic manual which is the US version and although the red symbol and audio warning is mentioned regarding FEB (Forward Emergency Braking) the actual symbol graphic i...

Re: Speed warning
That large-ish red symbol/alarm is usually related to the front radar detecting an obstacle at some distance...crash warning from the FEB system. That system had a software update in either 2018 or 19?. I get it at odd times and I think it occurs from 25mph or so up only. Or the FEB system simply i...

Re: Computer like noises from under the dash.
Thanks, Calnorth That's definitely a good suggestion, I will make it when I go to the garage. Thanks very much. .... Behind the dash there is a large air controller venting box (heating and cooling). That contains about 5 actuators (motors) that adjust the air thru various vents across the dash are...

Re: Computer like noises from under the dash.
I could only think of noises as likely AirCon stuff. Certainly a noisy Evaporator or perhaps fan control?

Re: Annoying Software update problem
I have a suspicion that the dealer(s) can't correct these headunits...similar to what went before it (Connecta 2 & 3). Rather like a mobile phone, if a factory reset or firmware update don't fix it...it dies right there.
Be interesting to know the outcome...new headunit?
