I'm wondering if there is a way to adjust the Fore/Aft shifter "play". I have done the mod to remove the cage around the shifter and currently have things apart as I install the automatic version of the lower tray in the console. my shifter has about a half inch or so of fore/aft play. Maybe...

I'm wondering if there is an adjustment possible in step 24 of the attachment. It also may be step 26 however I am not removing the seats for this. :)

I saw those and tried to lock it in there but mine is so misaligned that it broke off the plastic on the new tray. I'm going to try to see if there is some adjustment that can be made on the console panel and if not just bolt it in place. Chirowolf is correct in that I will probably be the only...

So, I began the automatic tray install today. I've noticed after I cut the hole in the tray and placed it in position that my console trim that it is supposed to line up with it is skewed towards the driver's side. by this I mean there is a gap along the left side as it meets the carpeted trim...

You should be able to just pop off the trim piece in the lower section of that rear quarter trim panel to access the amp wiring. I don't have a picture of how it attaches but it has 2 push in connectors toward the seat area and then pulls out forward once you pop out the front section. That is...

It's a pain, but on the iPhone you can disconnect them reconnect CarPlay while the car is running and that should reset this.

Did you use a Dremel to make the cuts in the tray?

I have noticed something like this in the past. I will be using Spotify, but the dashboard function does not show it is in Spotify and therefore you can't use the steering wheel controls to forward a Spotify song, but the center screen does work. This has not happened for a long time. It used to...

I do not have that gap. I did notice though that it is difficult to get the clips that attach the trim piece around the (high up near the corners where it meets the headliner) glass to seat properly with the trim piece for the rear side panels. If those clips do not seat properly, it could allow...

I found a loose screw around the rear window when I had my interior apart to install soundproofing. The screw had a washer on it and I'm sure it must have been making noise however it was on the passenger side, and I did not hear it.

It's much easier to use the voice function if you change to the non-haptic steering wheel buttons. I would not use it at all before making the change. I used it to turn on the heated seats. Easier than finding it in the center display. I'll use it for more things going forward now that its...

We need someone to develop a "Bimmercode" light for the Emira. There are a number of coding changes that would be nice to make. Several people have reached out to multiple vendors that provide coding services but none of them have shown interest. I'm sure the Lotus service software could turn...

you are correct, I just double checked. It's only left to right. I guess that make sense though as only the front speakers are producing a full range of sound.

Yes, this was just from adding the deadener and insulation. I'm frankly amazed at how much better it sounds. I increased the mid and bass levels up a bit and I no longer hear what used to sound like distortion.

Great write up. Thanks! Did you leave the wheels on for this job? Just put a hose on the bleed valve?

There is a setting to adjust front/rear, but the speakers in the back upper area are mid bass speakers and they don't produce medium or high frequencies. You need to turn up the mid and low frequency levels to hear/feel them. I took my car apart to install sound deadener/insulation and they are...

Nice job. Good advice on using those longer screws to pull the window regulator in and then install the stock screws. That was the hardest part for me.

Wait, are you suggesting we should be replacing/bleeding the brake fluid every 6 months to a year?

That does look good and similar to how mine turned out, however mine took hours to remove, and I used to rubbing alcohol, and then tried denatured alcohol. I even bagged mine for a while to let it soak in. The stickers were not affected at all by just soaking them for a while. I have done that...

I found some brackets missing in the interior of the car when I took it out to do soundproofing. There was one missing on the driver's side. I would call a parts dept (Gator) and have them check to see what type of bracket is supposed to be there for that rivet to press in to. I can't copy the...

Honestly, I kind of like the look of these mats better than the one that cover the sills.

Interesting, I had gotten mine off a while back, but it took me hours and there is still a slight residue. I honestly thought I was going to ruin the Alcantara, but that stuff is tough. The U.S. stickers have been much harder to remove. Did you receive your car recently? Yous should post some...

What country are you in?

It's possible that piece is not clipped in properly. I had that area apart recently and it is difficult to properly "click" the clip into the trim piece behind it. While I had the rear trim panels off, I also found some screws that were loose and a missing bracket that a piece of trim is...

Hi jpl29, I decided to use products from Second Skin Audio. I used the following: Damplifier 1 MM on the doors and inside rear quarter area – 20 Sq Ft total https://www.secondskinaudio.com/sound-deadening/damplifier Damplifier Pro 2 MM on the rear bulkhead – 4 sheets total...

First, you can remove that white paper on each piece. I's just a protective wrap that someone did not remove. Also, did you attach the power to the lug in that fuse box versus running it to the battery? if so, it's possible that connection is impeding the lower plastic piece when you try to...

This has been a great thread. I finally completed adding the sound deadener and insulation to my car. It's been apart for weeks. My issue was I wanted the bass to sound consistent and it had not prior. I preferred not to add an external sub although this post has proved that the Kicker (and...

you could try to loosen the 3 bolts holding the fuse box in place and raise it a bit. That may provide more clearance. If that does not work, post a picture of your situation. I think you want that lower piece on as it protects anything from coming in contact with that live main power wire.

The lower triangular piece needs to be removed first. There is a tab on that piece that needs to be pressed to remove it.

Not sure which PPF you have, but XPEL does have a piece for that. I'd presume that other vendors do also. My installer did say it was a tricky piece to get right.

Did that area not have the PPF applied. It's hard to tell from the photo but that looks like the vents next to the rear hatch.

I'd be very interested to see if you can get that Volvo sub to fit. It's pretty tight in that cavity. I hope you can. Do you know the specs on the different factory amps in the car, and if one can be removed and another be retained? If one is purely for the factory sub, and not used for any...

This looks very nice; I like the way it looks mounted vertically and saves some storage space. It looks like you kept the factory sub plugged in also. Why not I guess.

A few other observations. The pressure relief piece that is installed near the sub did not fit very well and kept falling out if I bumped it. I wrapped some felt tape around where it mounts and that tightened the fit up quite a bit. Those pieces also flap a lot when the sub is being used and...
