Re: What updates for the New 2019 CX3 would you like.

You can keep the electric brake, it probably just speeds up assembly, cuts costs and gives the service mechanics one less thing to do, i.e., adjust the cable, with no commensurate reduction in service cost!!

Hunting

My 2018 CX3 2.0 petrol AWD, "hunts" (always has) when in a mid gear, in a more or less trailing throttle situation. Is this a software thing which could be remedied by the dealer?

Re: What updates for the New 2019 CX3 would you like.

A Sat Nav which works would be a good start.
Harder lacquer.
Sliding sun roof as standard.
A spare wheel.

Re: Sat nav on heads up display. How?

"Temperamental" only scratches at the surface of possible descriptions of this Sat Nav. I tried to set an address in Brierley Hill last week. The mapping obviously recognised it as it finished the entry for me! I saved it to favourites and it appeared as something else!! When I got to B H ...

Re: Chips with everything

HMMMM interesting debate. The £495 + vat seems a little OTT to me. I would also question the warranty issue. I very much doubt whether a marginal increase in power and torque, on any engine, would trigger any issues, after all I would be pretty sure that mass produced engines outputs vary naturally ...

Chips with everything

I wonder if anyone has had their 3 re-chipped and was it to any benefit.

Re: Sat Nav Again

Yesterday i did a journey from Buxton to a specific address in Alfreton. I selected "fastest" and inputted the post code and Meadow Lane , as per usual it didn't offer up a number. The Sat nav chose a fairly "odd" exit from Buxton, but got me on the road and was doing fine until ...

Re: Sat Nav history function

Generally speaking the car is very good, but the Sat Nav is "pants"!!! How is it that a major vehicle manufacturer seem to accept the installation of such an inadequate system. Would they install a braking system which only did part of what it was advertised to do, or an ECU which threw a ...

Re: Sat Nav Again

"Using the postcode in the Town or Postcode field restricts input into all other fields". Well if that is the case it's unacceptable, as is as is being taken on a 30 mile "detour". I've had Garmin and Tom Tom units both of which accept post code as first entry then allow you to n...

Re: Sat Nav Again

Andy. I doubt it since I used the short route to get home with not a hint of a delay.
Boyle. Thanks for that, I will explore.
