Ev Range Performance - Nissan Leaf Tekna + Audi e-tron GT

I understand the common sense bit about Evs. The mechanical advantage stuff that is. The bolted on expensive electronics is a worry though...BCM, Radar and Cameras, ABS Controller (Park Brake/Stability), Main Battery and Controller/Cooler. Software galore! The Leaf here being a "real snip"...

Re: Voice command

I don't think so. If the AV head unit has the Nav SD Card (top right) that means the unit is extremely limited. If it did have voice command I'd expect to see it in the setup menus.

Re: Front doors sometimes wont unlock Qashqai 2017

The system for lock/unlock is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) and communication to the Key Fob...plus door sensors. Both doors failing unlock is unlikely actuator problems. Its a car security issue, so its difficult to diagnose and would need a dealers help to test and diagnose all parts...

Re: Smart key not so smart

The Battery is always an issue with the amount of electronics on this car. Stop/Start is usually the initial error and thus disabled on fasult(s). Faults related can occur for other reasons which means the ECU cannot control the engine correctly..fuelling/exhaust/ABS Your car needs a specific Stop/S...

Re: System faults. What's going on ?

Fix the tyre pressure sensor first. Thats an MOT failure along with the ABS error. It might clear the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) + ABS warning in the Speedo.

Re: Smart key not so smart

I'll repeat a post (@gloucester) above...have you tried your spare Key Fob...if you have one?

Starting with the Key Fob against the START button indicates a Key Fob problem...or the pick up from the START button which is a antenna similar to that on the door handles.

Re: Smart key not so smart

Qashqai 2015 Noticed the proximity sensor for opening the doors by just pressing the outside entry button on the handles wasn’t working well. Temperamental. Once in the car the screen would show Key ID incorrect and wouldn’t let me turn on the ignition unless I took the key up to the ignition on bu...

Re: Key system fault and steering wheel image

I've noticed this "loss of key comms" over the 4 years I have had my car...very, very seldom though. I put the infrequency of this comms loss down to ad hoc data corruption. But things can get worse largely due to complexity IMO..as below. I think you can replicate the comms loss by starti...

Re: Multiple Warning Lights - Error Codes HELP

Changing the whole dash would be big money looney tunes. The Speedo would show the car collision symbol amongst others. The symbol is actually for the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) error and signifies a front radar sensor failure. Lane problems raises the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and relates t...
