    Exactly my scenario. Lotus should be aware on how to fix this.

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    It's been replaced. Everything works now and what can I say... it never worked before as it should've. If your aircon "kinda blows strong" on max, it's not fully working. If I turn mine to max now it sounds like there's a jet engine on board.

    Help! HVAC system won’t stop blowing air…

    I honestly don’t know/ haven’t figured it out yet. Not that it should be a valid reason to go nuts anyway

    Ok, I'm saying it - the infotainment system sucks (but who cares)

    I've a 2024 Volvo XC60 in my driveway which has a very obvious android automotive fitted. If Emira really runs on Automotive they did a hella good job hiding it. The infotainment being listed as Android 9.0 also speaks against it imo. Android based infotainment != Android Automotive.

    I'm very interested if they also scrubbed it because the car doesn't seem to show anything I expect from Android Automotive. Where can I find said press conference?

    Help! HVAC system won’t stop blowing air…

    The fans will start circulating air upon unlocking, regardless of what settings were set before. It should stop when opening the door or, if you're too fast, as soon as the ignition turns on. However, the Emira has had some problems when opening the door too fast after unlocking it which results...

    Swapping out the Leather Steering for Alcantara

    I'd would be surprised if you manage to get a steering wheel off Lotuses hands - they don't even want to hand out replacement parts under warranty on time :LOL:

    Do I understand correctly - DAB and GPS are straight out missing on the Australian spec?

    Antennas is the windscreen. Did you refresh the stations? It's a "pull-to-refresh" kind of thing, kinda hidden

    It'll also disengage automatically at the right moment. This is the easiest solution imo

    Brake light flashing

    Hi! A friend followed me in his car for some time today and asked me about the brake lights which seemed to behave oddly... When pressing on the brake - typical usage, no emergency braking - the lights turn on, go off, and turn on again to stay on. I also noticed it in the rear mirror when...

    Does anyone know the model number of this connector?

    Wonder if we can use this for a dashcam?

    Parking brake service message & wont start - how many others with this issue

    I doubt there are any special ones for Emira. I'd loved to be proved wrong tho!

    Parking brake service message & wont start - how many others with this issue

    Every geneic scanner supporting the OBD II standard will be able to read the generic codes. Lotus itself has access to all the information and tools using Lotus Insight. Yes you won’t be able to read all codes, but you’ll be able to read enough to make quick decisions.

    Tapping noise

    Had the pleasure of hearing this again today while waiting for the parking brake and it seems to be coming from the subwoofer. I did record it, I'll try to make it audible and post it here.

    The Max setting is strong but weaker than your usual car IMO

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    Exactly my state currently. I got very slight airflow from the foot area if I switch the AC off. Only warmed by engine so it takes time. If you set it to recirculate (Button activates AC again - turn it off) at least you can kinda demist. Mechanics currently busy figuring something out with...

    While it seems it happens more often / regularly with the latest update the bug has been there since at least April. I've attached video proof somewhere in this thread.

    I heard this as well this morning - after locking myself in to get rid of the parking brake error :LOL: Sounds like a pump or something?

    Parking brake service message & wont start - how many others with this issue

    It's a complex system, any combination of facts might or might not trigger it. For me, it happened 3-4 times since the update and I had many starts. Couldn't figure out what triggers it yet.

    Speed limiter and Cruise control issues.

    Do I understand correctly, that any button - regardless of up, down, left, right or middle - acted like the down (decrease) button?

    Cruise Control Issue

    Not sure what went wrong for you, but flooring it will definitely allow you to accelerate, regardless of the limit. Quote from the manual: Note that flooring it doesn’t deactivate it like braking on cruise control does. It'll engine brake to your set limit after releasing the gas again. Just...

    Cruise Control Issue

    You can _always_ gas it, no matter if limiter or cruise. YOU are in control at all times. Just need a little bit of emphasis on the inputs. Tapping the brake will also cancel the cruise control. Also, a single center press would've disabled whatever was active immediately.

    Nighty night! To do list for hibernation and winter storage

    Good points thanks! I think I read about the 1/4 rule somewhere, guess I was wrong :D Mousetraps are a very good point. Sadly no power in either garage, so leaving the battery in place or a dehumidifier is no option :( I’ve updated the top post to keep it up to date

    Power windows.

    Never saw mine fully down. As far as I remember (except for a Skoda Octavia I think) my car windows never went fully down, so this didn't catch me off guard.
