    Key is locked in the car

    Weird, mine seems to.. Well, let me qualify that - if I unlock the car with the fob and don't open the door for a given period of time it will re-lock itself. Might not qualify as auto-lock, but what I have observed..

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    OK, noticed something else - maybe someone knows why - but I noticed with the windows down, the bass is more pronounced. To test, I had the windows down, turned up the volume and then closed the windows. The effect was like the bass in the system turned almost completely off. Put the windows...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    DONE. Easy access, quick work, and soooo much better!! Not over the top great, still needs some fine tuning and testing, but the bass distortion is remarkably less, even at volume. I added a bullet connector just in case I need to reconnect. Also, I did run into a small oddity, that eventually...

    With that said - how connecting to the main wires change the connections @netsinah listed in his post, as he was calling out the tweeter wires and corresponding polarities.

    This is EXACTLY the clarity I was looking for.. I knew I had something off, just could not put my finger on it. Good call out on Left vs Right had drive - I was actually looking at the flags next to usernames, because I thought that may have been causing my confusion - but your post cleared...

    i4 Shifter Undertray Removal

    Wouldn't it be a completely different procedure from the v6M - figured it would be much more simple on the i4 shifter area. However, I will admit that I decided to ask for help before I looked closely at it and started to tug on things to try and remove them..

    Just to be clear - is this supposed to be Yellow/White -> negative? Found conflicts in my notes, while compiling an instruction document built from various posts, and have built up a bit of nerves before cutting any wires. Combining your wiring notation (and pictures) with @Chriscpm notations...

    i4 Shifter Undertray Removal

    Has anyone taken the time to remove any of the tunnel parts on the i4? Specifically, the shifter undertray? Anyone have guidance, or better yet shop manual reference pages for the removal? Attaching a picture for reference..

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    Wasn't me asking about the fart noises - but my question still stands, if the frequency is not being injected could the music signal have more power available, and hopefully better volume control?

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    Another, probably stupid, question - but if that additional frequency is being pumped into the amp, does that mean our music isn't getting all the boost it could be getting from the amp? Additionally, snipping the wire could mean we would get a better volume control with the music? (i.e. we...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    So, did you find a ground location for the wire? or just ensure its insulated against any shorting or grounding?

    Can you Change the Assistant Voice to Female?

    To access voice control for CarPlay just long press the voice assistant button - it then defaults to CarPlay and Siri, and will use whatever voice is designated on your iPhone (which you can change) and you can use voice commands for Nav, music, calls, voice texting etc.. I can even run commands...

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    For mine (i4), I have the speed volume adjustment turned off - have since day one. That being said, it still very much distorts when in sport or track. So my thinking is that it is not related to the speed adjusted volume.

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    I've noticed the same thing. I countered by turning up the mids and lowering the bass. Not the best fix but OK in a pinch.

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    Just wondering if the base system will have this little surprise as well? Lotus pumping engine sound in to the audio/speakers in the car? (labeled Engine V6)

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    Yep - because the papery speaker slapping sound makes it so you cant tell the difference.. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
  27. Medic518

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    ...because at volume the additional frequency causes the audio system to be over modulated - hence the bass levels get that old speaker papery slapping sound. When I say "at volume" I mean like half way up. Sounds like an old cheap 90's Hyundai stock system with the bass jacked and the volume...

    Chronic electrical issues on late 2024 build I4 First edition

    I can't remember exactly which ones, but when I took mine in for the first service (2/28) there were new updates, and I am almost positive the DIM and the IHU updates were brand new.. but don't take that as gospel..

    Do you know if you have had the DIM update applied? Supposedly, that is specifically for the breaking system(s), per the Lotus Tech I have spoken with.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Oh, on the screen - I don't believe it, and like I said it didn't last long. But I routinely get a reading above 430mi range after fill up on the tank reading. So its definitely getting pretty good gas milage..and I don't try to baby it at all..

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Did a drive out in the country (wife also in the car), 55-60mph and hit 49mpg - I was shocked. It didn't last long, as it was a nice bendy road and fun driving took over.:ROFLMAO:

    Chronic electrical issues on late 2024 build I4 First edition

    For you guys with the USB issues, is all of your software up to date? Just curious. I have a couple of niggles, as stated, but I also know there are 5 updates that need to be applied. Boggles me that we can't easily get version numbers and release notes for the fixes included said versions.

    Exotic Car Owner's Code of Conduct

    Can I get some of those hand outs? I had a guy ask me while filling up "..is that the new Lexus?" :ROFLMAO: I don't even know what the look on my face was, I am guessing it was haughty derision - but I answered "No, its a Lotus.."

    Progressive, only the Emira in Palm Beach, no restrictions, covered wife and myself, $1200yr. and that's lower than my Rubicon with USAA.
