    iRemote not updating in timely manner

    I suspect it's using AT&T based on watching my phone's cellular signal match the cellular signal on the i3 display.

    Can I retrofit the HK premium sound into an i3?

    From what I read it would be rather involved and costly to the point of not being worth it.

    Zero pedal driving - anyone else done this?

    There are only two kinds of tailgaters: 1. Those that have been in an accident 2. Those that will be in an accident :lol:

    Seriously starting to dislike the i3-please skip if disagree

    Fair enough. I do wish I could have some time in an i8.

    Setting up a dual charger capable circuit in the garage

    I've been gathering quotes for 100A sub panel with two 50A circuits ending in 14-50 outlets. Still deciding on a EVSE.

    Seriously starting to dislike the i3-please skip if disagree

    I understand (and find interesting) your point of view on the car, but can't you find issues like this on ANY car? I mean I already pointed out how our Accord doesn't have any way to unlock the trunk except with the footwell release which seems to really bother you on your i3 without Comfort...

    Zero pedal driving - anyone else done this?

    I find the i3 to be far less stressful to drive in general, but the ACC especially so in rush hour highway travel. It's pretty clear where the future is going on these kind of driving aids and it's going to happen faster than a lot of people realize, but you'll still have to be an alert and...

    Seriously starting to dislike the i3-please skip if disagree

    Check out the Honda Accord. Very limiting options. Actually most of the manufacturers are very limiting in my opinion. Try finding a car with heated seats that's NOT leather. Almost impossible other than the i3 and Subaru! I think it's more that the i3 interior choices use very unusual colors...

    Today might be the day - things to check before signing?

    Personally I think electric cars have far less to worry about than ICE. 60 miles is nothing.

    Remote Services via iRemote App

    I can't test as I have "navigation professional" not "navigation business", but I would use the SOS button on the headliner, tell them it's not an emergency, and ask if they can lock/unlock your car for you. I read a story where for whatever reason this solved the issue they were having...

    Today might be the day - things to check before signing?

    There should be no issues if it has 19" wheels. If it has the 20" wheel option, then it may make "whoop whoop" noises that several people here have complained about. Bridgestone apparently fixed the issue in later runs of the Ecopia EP500 tires, but people with the affected tires have had a hell...

    Thoughts on this 2014 REx lease?

    I went with a different car at a different dealer. I've found the discount will depend on where you are. Some dealers won't go past 11% in WI even on 2014s. I ended up with about 14% off MSRP and 23% off including the lease credit on maxed out $55.5k MSRP (only missing metallic paint option)...

    'Premium sound'... not so fast.

    Ok got my car back. The H/K is noticeably better. I still prefer the H/K from my 2002 E46, but I also had that car for 10 years so the different soundstage in this car is definitely an adjustment for me.

    Coding the i3

    Sent you a PM. The instructions I have say the following: * NOTE: 55.4 PSdZData requires E-Sys Launcher Premium 2.x for FDL Coding. BMW AG made changes to PSdZData beginning with 54.2 PSdZData where they removed (trimmed) all descriptive text from CAFD (and FAFP) files, making FDL Coding of...

    Does anyone else feel let down about their BMW i3 BEV

    Dang, I'm jealous. It'll probably be 2019 before we have similar in my area!

    Coding the i3

    My car has the latest update with the SoC on the dash. Where can I get these extra files?

    Coding the i3

    Ok got the activation code and am now past that hurdle. Now the current problem: I'm in E-Sys and connected, but all the modules appear to be trimmed. I put the pszdata folders in place. Is this because I have the latest March 2015 software on my car? Or is this because E-Sys Launcher lists...

    Pro nav touchpad not working

    Dealer replaced the touchpad unit. Now all is well.

    Seriously starting to dislike the i3-please skip if disagree

    OK cool. Honestly, every person is going to have their opinion--There is no one car to please all people so I think this is ultimately kind of fruitless for you. I wish it weren't the case but I find it hard to get past that. Ok, good to know where you're coming from. To me cornering is...

    Seriously starting to dislike the i3-please skip if disagree

    You say "please skip if disagree" and "So either help talk me down or give me any advice you'd like." Which is it? And why would someone that agrees be in any way helpful? I agree with only a minority of your points. They seem to fall into either: 1) Things I've not personally experienced 2)...
