I had trouble uploading another version prior. This is from the UK owner's manual. When I searched a while back, I did find multiple versions of this. The approach angle in this is more accurate than the one above. Looks like it is due to removing that rubber piece that is shown in the prior...

This is a "feature" that could be coded out if we had coding software. I think if you use the unlock button in the car prior to opening the door it will only take one pull. Dumb.

They did cut a custom triangle piece for my install.

I hope everything is okay for you as you get through the aftermath of the storm.

Thanks Porter. That was one of my thoughts. Do you need to remove any bolts from the diffuser undertray to facilitate removing the oil change access undertray. I'd like to put together a cheat sheet for my indie that I will have do the oil change. Thanks for the parts list also, I bought...

Is there a DIY writeup on removing the access panel for the oil change?

Look up the individual pieces for the Emira on the Xpel website. You will see that cutout and several other areas that have relief cutouts. I did not notice those when I was doing research. My installer said the film would lift if those cutouts were not there. Evidently Xpel wants to prevent...

This looks similar.

Thanks for confirming I'm not completely batshit crazy. I wonder why it behaves like this, there must be some reason. Thanks for all the additional details also.

It's a coding thing. The dealer could change this (and other coding) if they are willing and know how to do it. I'd like to turn of the seatbelt chime and do some other coding options. Hopefully someday.

Whenever I open a door or the hatch my infotainment system starts up and CarPlay comes on and starts playing music without me turning any power on or accessing CarPlay on my phone. I'm assuming this is normal behavior but thought I would check with this question. It would help explain why they...

I'm interested.

Dandy Lion

I'm on Touring. The car "reads' the roads but it feels very good. No issues with shaking and no wheel vibration whatsoever. I like the feedback the steering provides.

If it continues, I will. Sometimes it sounds pretty normal, until I turn it up a bit.

My sub sounds like it is broken if I turn the volume up a bit. It "pops" instead of producing nice bass. Sounds like a cheap speaker being overdriven. Hopefully this is a break-in thing. On another note, I'd like to add some sound insulation in the rear of the car behind/under the rear shelf...

If you remove the bolts for the exhaust hanger it will make it much easier to pry the exhaust at that flange. Removing the hanger lets the pipe going into the cat move to the right. Were you able to get the other side of the pipe out of where the band clamp holds it on?

I don't have a picture, but my replacement emblem had multiple strips of 3M VHB tape that holds it on.

I installed both the controller and GRP delete pipe last weekend, and agree, its transformative.

It was stubborn. I have some PB Blaster that would have helped but it was clogged. I used a 2X2 and a mallet per Greg’s instructions and it came off in about 5 minutes of hitting it. Once it was loose the install was easy.

I beat on it with a mallet. GRP pipe and exhaust controller.

I installed the decat pipe and exhaust controller in my garage today on 8-inch Race Ramp wheel cribs (really liked those btw). It wasn't too bad, but I definitely needed that rubber mallet and a 2X2 to get the third cat to exit. Install was very straight forward, Greg provides great...

My PPF installer has had my car for several weeks (long story). I've been there to check in a few times, and he showed me a few things. He is using Xpel. The rear bumper is two pieces and is split at the line you have in red. The upper part with the Lotus emblem is separate from the lower part...

We need to find access to the diagnostic tool software for this and other coding capabilities.

I think they turned it off for us Yanks! They are afraid we'll hurt ourselves. I wonder if the dealers know how to code this back on.

It's on page 43 of the U.S. Manual and 45 of the UK manual. Also on page 9 of the U.S. QuickStart guide.

Question: Is anyone able to roll up/down your windows with the key FOB as the manual says you can do? I can't. Often, companies turn this (and other) functions off for the U.S. market. Drives me a bit bonkers. We need someone to come up with a "Bimmercode" type app that will allow us to code...

Gregs Racing Parts

I received the survey today and am responding to it. There is a question about updates received while waiting for delivery. I give them a 1.

The link does not take you to a product page with printers.

I'd be interested in a recommendation.

Done

This may be a bit corny, but I created this Car Show Plaque to display at local car shows I attend. I find that people have appreciated this when I've gone to show in the past. I thought I would share it here in case they may want to use it. I list some detail about the car and some...

This seems a no brainer.

HI, I sent you a PM. I think you would get a significant response if you created a dedicated new thread with this offer. It will receive much more exposure. Thanks for offering to do this.
