Gremlins Poll

[Microbe]

Not sure if this will work but just thought I'd try and see if the gemlins are related in any way to the year of 1st registration

Great stuff.  👍

 

Have submitted mine.  I haven’t ticked the Persistent bongs one as in the last 21 months I’ve only had two limited episodes of repeated assist bongs but amounting to no more than a week in total ownership.  

[AHG]

I had recurring issues that are not on the list

(repeated here for thread completeness)

 

1. Greyed buttons - several times (Strat/Stop mostly)

2. Driving mode not changing

(buttons work but Comfort/Race/Individual = Sport)

3. Twice “check rear brake light” when it was working fine

each time it suggested a different side (right/left)

 

The SOS, Maneuver, parking one for a few seconds and went away.

Only once did they light up persistently along with emergency and front,

and the screen went off and on until it went full black (reboot fixed all).

 

One point to make:

My car is EU (so no MPH), without heated seats, leather, reverse camera.

So not having problems with those, is not a data point, I’m just an outlier.

 

P.S. Cars made from July and one are considered MY of the following year (so July22 is MY23), so may have hardware differences (may be worth mentioning).

I think software came as 1898 on those.

@mpv  I thought you had leather seat issue?  

[PrettyVacant]

After getting the 1896 update and taking my time and not rushing the routine of swiping to turn this and that off when you first start the car, all has been good.

Mine was registered in the 2nd half of 2022 (July) but built in the first half - so its not a MY23 car.

Hi REbecca, yes, I put that under trim issue by mistake, can I edit or change that?

I don’t think you can change or edit your poll entry mpv once it’s done.  However as moderator I’ve been in to the original poll and swapped over the Leather/Trim headings so your entry is now against the correct one.  Hope @Microbe doesn’t mind.  
 

@Microbe Tony, I’ve also taken the liberty of adding in another option to cover Other software related issues.  @AHG you might want to use that for your car’s issues.

All contributions and edits welcome

It's only the 2nd time I've used the poll function, the last time was about 5 years ago!

It’s just like riding a bike.  😁

Just bought a Bavarian built e-bike to ride the 15 kms to work. Love it!!,

I have the same experience
You need to give it 20-30sec to upload
to avoid greyed out buttons or mode indifference

Thank you. Will do.

Although I do think we should add the "meltdown" question:
How often do you get a "xmas tree" dash and infotainment go off/on or full black (or any other failure that limits function):
More than once a month
Once per Quarter
Once a year
Only once so far

Yes agree @PrettyVacant and @AHG, I’ve found the system is always happier if you let it wake up first before bombarding it with commands.  I empathise with it.  😁
 

Happy to add that to the poll @AHG

 

Edit - tried it but because it’s an existing poll I don’t think it will allow member’s that have already completed the poll to add to their entry.  So it would need a separate new poll I think.  

[Booth11]

See additional question here as although new questions can be added to the above poll, if you’ve already completed it, you can’t go back into it.

So far I'm feeling a bit lonely in the 2021 Second Half.
