Hi from west London

[Van Til Michael]

Good eve everyone,
Mike from West London, proud owner of a 94W rex 2016, wide screen, HK, and leather trim. She's blue!
76000miles and runs like a dream.
Getting around 160/180 range but the cold really reduces the performance, as battery heats up range increases, it's really impressive!
I've owned her only a couple of days and I'm just starting on looking at what accessories she needs, got a good phone holder, rubber mats and now looking at mmi box, I need android auto!
I've seen installs that are done under rear seat, sounds easy enough, but others run loom to the dash....not a fan, any reason why?

Also, any good advice on a specialist in the area?

Will be happy to read all the infos on the forum!

Mike

Wisely is pretty famous on here - check out their YouTube videos.

Very nice color!

Thanks a lot, I saw a lot of their videos, and I cannot find their website?

Welcome. That’s great range!

Not sure about coding for Android.

Enjoy your new car!

I will get some precise figures soon as I plan to do some trips towards Birmingham.
I'm amazed how quiet the rex is.
I'll make some research to understand more about the mmi interfaces.

That’s great. I managed 158 miles on non-REX 120ah i3. But that was on a mix of A-roads and motorways

Will come to you as they have mobile servicing. Have booked them for a trip up to me in Warrington area in July for a 2 year service.

Ah I did see their auto trader page, but I thought they had a real one with prices etc....
I guess I will call them, will be easier
Thx for top tips
I want to check the 12v bat, the front shocks and maybe service rex.

I used a company based in the Midlands (Coventry and Wednesbury) for my android auto MMI installation - well worth the effort especially if you have the full size screen https://icodebmw.co.uk/?fbclid=PAY2...f23CnMnwJ6FNt-D5pA_aem_o8vjg5RVYGaxkbpJEjTt3A

 

[Van Til Michael]

Thanks for the link, I will check them, I'm happy to install the box myself I'm quite handy with these things, but I want a good quality mmi

Here is the link to their Price List on their Google Drive account. It is dated 2024 and was current at the time I booked with them in January, and was sent as an attachment to their booking confirmation email.
I have also attached below a copy of their Customer Information leaflet, also included with their booking email. When I phoned them, I spoke to their Sales Specialist, Emma Carpenter, who you can reach on her direct line 0208 050 7603 or the general line 0208 050 7600.
