    Air Conditioning for Pets

    If you add a “seatbelt extender” available on Amazon, you can get out and leave it “running” with normal climate control. At least it works with mine. I don’t carry pets, but it’s handy for other things.

    Electron Charger is toast?

    It was a Lectron charger. “Electron” was auto-correct. In any event it had an “Internal Error.” Bought a nice one on Amazon and things are working fine.

    Stopped lurking, and did a purchase ROAD TRIP!

    I only had a 225 trip home. I could not charge on the way but it was probably my fault. In the end, no problem!

    2017 REX from Dealer

    UPDATE: BMW of Ft. Lauderdale was apologetic and bought me a new charger. They were very nice to deal with.

    2017 REX from Dealer

    Can you program the hold charge function on a 2017 i3? I enabled it on a 2016, but a YouTube video said it can only be done for 2016 and older models.

    Hold Charge Function on 2017 REX

    I’m picking up my 2017 i3 REX on Monday and have to drive 225 miles to get it home. I checked the Owner’s Manual and could not see an option for “Hold Charge.” Can Bimmercode be used to turn this function on for the 2017 model? I saw a YouTube video that said Bimmercode worked only on 2016 and...

    Hi. I’m on a 24 hour test drive from CarMax. 2016 REX. They gave me the car with almost zero battery and I got home on the REX. Charging has been odd compared to what I have seen on YouTube.
