Do you mean a slight lurching when changing up at low revs? If so we have a similar experience...

I'm wondering if one persons 'bouncy' is another persons 'harsh' and we're actually talking about the same thing possibly?

Let us know the results - if it's not just down to the hard ride of the car.

The CX-3 is renown for it's pretty stiff ride, just read almost any review on it on-line. I doubt the 4 wheel drive suspension is any different to the 2 wheel version?

I use the voice control occasionally; never had a problem with it and never noticed that message coming up. Just went and checked - nope don't get any messages.

Thanks for checking Alan, what firmware is your CX-3 running (found in the settings area if you don't know).

Ahh OK, I see Apple carplay is £350 add on with the option of adding AA (for a price??) but AA is only controlled via the commander knob, no touch screen touchieness

Thanks again Boyle but I wouldn't be confident in installing new firmware myself - especially as the car is still under warranty - different if it was something that would run from a usb stick as an overlay (similar to CHDK I used for my old S3is Canon bridge camera). As for installing Android Auto ...

Or 70.00.021A if you are using Android Auto / CarPlay

Thanks for that Boyle, sure I've seen it somewhere here before, will have to get down to the dealer for the update when I can.

The higher revving is definitely normal when cold starting.
