You can’t assume that but even my recent Kia had over the air updates to its infotainment system and satnav. They were free to me being a Kia Approved car, but it’s next owner will have to pay as my benefits are non transferable as I part exchanged it to a non Kia dealership nor sold it privately.
If I updated the Jeep's satnav it is about £450! Cheaper to buy a stand alone satnav that gets free updates and supplied by the same company that supplies the Jeep satnav! Weird!
Yes my Garmin with lifetime updates may get used again in theRAV4. I haven’t sussed out info and nav updates as I’ve only just joined Toyota Connect but I suspect it’s an annual payment, which hopefully is cheaper if you can download to home and do it myself. £450 is daylight robbery. Alternatively I can use Apple apps in the car.
Don’t know, but would doubt it. However decent apps like zap map that you can run on the car’s “infotainment” (😂) screen via car play will tell you where the nearest charging point is, how much it is, what type it is, if it is working, and if it is occupied.
Our Suzuki Across is a rebadged Toyota RAV4 it does not come with the Toyota APP or satnav, however it has does have CarPlay, we use our iPhone or trusty Garmin with life time updates.
How and where is the Garmin positioned in your car. In the last car I used it in (Forester) there was a convenient flat area just in front of one of its dashboard screens that didn’t display any useful info. In our Rio there’s an adhesive pad on the dashboard and I use the Garmin suction mount to position the Garmin. Days of “bean bags” have moved on.
No, you cant assume (oh that we could!). That depends on the car and system, and I think is different for Map data vs Charger data.
You mean, drive to the fuel station, fill up, drive home, then start with an _almost_ full tank, and go anywhere within the fuel range, right?
It is very very rarely we use both the CarPlay or Garmin satnav, if we use the Garmin it at the top of the screen with the suction fitting, I am old school and prefer maps.
I always have a up to date map book in both cars, but find satnav useful if I’m on my own, or co pilot is asleep. I have no problem finding my way around the country it’s finding the correct approach to the runway that can be an issue 😂
We would fill up the tank when we go shopping so it is on the way to the supermarket. The Jeep has a range of over 500 miles so not an issue even if 3/4 tank.You mean, drive to the fuel station, fill up, drive home, then start with an _almost_ full tank, and go anywhere within the fuel range, right?
Filling up with that much Diesel, I would be watching for the OPEC rates on a barrel of oil.
It can take up to 93 litres to fill up from empty. Most it has cost is £142 not long after we bought it and that war started and fuel was close to £2 a litre!
Wow that is a lots of fuel over the past 17 month 10, 464 miles 385.25 litres (£551.79) £288.86 of electricity total £800.40
My parents have just this system in their new EX30. They have a place in France. They asked google "hey Google, navigate to Caylus" (there nearest town). It comes up with a route, all the charging locations, and how long you need to stop at each. And it will automatically update the journey as you drive to account for traffic, weather how heavy your right foot is etc. Its brilliant.
Ok, I'll accept it's "only" 99.8% full - everywhere in the UK &NI is within my "reduced" fuel range.You mean, drive to the fuel station, fill up, drive home, then start with an _almost_ full tank, and go anywhere within the fuel range, right?
