  • VCDS from Ross-Tech to ID-Family

    Has anyone ever connected a Ross-Tech VCDS to an ID.3? I am about to buy such a solution and wonder if it will work on an ID.3 or on an ID.4 in the future.

  • Question to Xceed driver with standard audio system (without JBL)

    Hello dear forum, I noticed shortly after I bought my Xceed PHEV, that the rear right speaker is only half as loud as all other speakers. Because of the error he is now in the workshop. Kia Germany told the workshop what they have to test. They found nothing, quite the contrary, they still have an Xceed demonstration vehicle, also with standard sound system, and there it was exactly so. The rear right speaker is quieter than the left !? Lt. measurement, both loudspeakers should be defective, but it comes out music!! Something doesn’t fit.

  • Tank flap does not open

    Hello dear forum members, I hope for a tip. With my old Kia Ceed SW (2010) the tank flap opens when you pull the lever next to the driver’s seat. So I don’t have a actuator. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work anymore (even if it doesn’t have a minus degree). If a second person pulls the lever, I can use the key to unlock the flap. In open state, you can see that the mechanism pulls back when you pull the lever. So it seems to go. The one that usually pushes the lid open and may be broken? I can’t see anything. It’s not on the rope pull. Is there a tip? Best regards!

  • Engine control light flashes sporadically, no power.

  • EC compliance certification obligation?

    Hello together, an acquaintance of mine got into a traffic control of the police this morning. There was a request for the EC-conformity certificate. Since he could not present these, he had to pay an obulus of Euro 10. That is completely new to me. Is this right? I thought the vehicle license would suffice. Greeting H.F.

  • 2Din Autoradio einbauen – schematic Radio

    Hello, I have the Pure with the standard radio 5 inch and would like, if it is finally available the 2Din Android – RNB6 – car radio from Parrot installhttp://blog.parrot.com/2015/01/05/ces-2015-parrot-rnb6-the-most-advanced-in-vehicle-infotainment-system/ Space is available in the built-in shaft and a suitable aperture (2Din) is available for the Evoque. Problems should only exist with the wiring. I tested the 5 inch display once and have two connectors pre-found. The power amplifier itself seems to be sitting in the center console (behind the CD slot). If someone has something similar (e.g. pioneer SPH 120) already installed or someone has a schematic of the radio unit of the Pure. Where can I find the On Board Diagnostics interface and which cables come from the steering wheel control, this should of course all to the new radio or is this not possible with the Pure. Hope one can help Thanks

  • AB: Differences Switzerland / Germany

    I am travelling a lot in Switzerland and in Germany. What is very surprising to me is that the Swiss are heavily motorized compared to Germans. I always thought that a speed limit on the AB would lead to less powerful cars being bought, but in Switzerland it is really the opposite. From my personal experience I would say that up to 90% of customers in Germany use the four-cylinder, in which Schw On average, I see more than 50% larger motorizations. Do you have an explanation for this?

  • Used car check in Berlin ( Charlottenburg )

    Hi guys, actually I wanted to pick up my used car looked at on Thursday morning. But after there are some flaws I have of course bammel that there is even more. Or e.g. the flapping at the back when skipping the floor is not the Kat/ Auspuff that bangs against the coach, but something quite different. Likewise (for my taste) the circuit is not soft but rather hard (Hebel can not be put into the gears as easily as with other cars that I Even if friends who know a little about it think that is normal (but both drive automatic ) Now I ask myself but where in the area of the vehicle could you have such a used car check made? Currently I have the TÜV Reinland in my head. approx. 5km over the city highway and with 60-90.- one is there. 120 points are examined thereby + small test drive. Now this is of course not little money (especially in the price range). Possibilities or cheaper in the area?!

  • In the case who gets up is to blame ?

    Hello, this morning the following happened to me. At a slightly driven junction (light turned off and no stop sign) I drove someone on the back. The driver stopped first at the stop line then continued to brake again at the line of sight then continued and then made 2 meters further a full braking although no car was in sight. I then drove her relatively slightly on the back. At her there is nothing to see with me the shock bar is damaged. e regulation who drives on the back is to blame or not ? no police were called. anii
