    Lotus of DC

    For me text wasn't the only form of communication, just the most effective for a rapid response. Sorry if that was not clear, although I agree it seems very difficult to get them on the phone..

    Lotus of DC

    I agree, with both points - been there for service, and warranty work. On my second visit Anton came in on his day off to ensure I had an explanation of all the updates as well as to ensure all the paperwork was straight. The biggest issue I had with the second visit was the scheduling of the...

    Emira Center Console Deconstruction - i4 AMG

    I have been searching, unsuccessfully, for the service manual pages on the deconstruction of the center console of the i4 variant. Specifically the area just under the shifter. I am trying to install a custom made part, and need to ascertain the best way to route some wiring with as little...

    Custom Floor Mats For Emira

    I think Lotus switched over to the post stye not long after they started delivering to the US - I have seen some that have the screw type, but most have the post type. I agree with @jetblast - I have the diamond pattern w/ the post, and it is not noticeable at all. I wonder if the Modern Line...

    new 2024 Meridian for 5 K off sticker

    My i4 has be 100% trouble free, even before the most recently applied 7 updates. Only thing I have found that Lotus Engineering is still trying to sort is the "Rear Indicator Fault" light comes on (very, very rarely), and it does not affect indicator function. To make it go away - just turn the...

    EVO: BMW M2 v Porsche Boxster GTS v Lotus Emira v Alpine A110 v Ford Mustang

    :ROFLMAO: - someone has NEVER driven a Jeep Wrangler. I know, its not a fair comparison, buuuut... I daily a Wrangler, and after driving the Emira for a while (sometimes a couple of days at a time) and then switching back you will really understand what "jittery" and "exaggerated" steering feels...

    Adding a subwoofer

    With you on this idea - would be nice to wire up to be more "OEM". Looks like this is on the stock sub (from the picture), so I wonder if the connection, being post stock amp, would have an issue with a powered sub and cause issues. Thinking, head unit-->stock sub-->powered amp sub--> speaker...

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    They are the same - JQ Werks (MadTrace). I think Aerie just offers both Normal and Extended lengths, where as GRP just has the Normal length.

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    Finally found some time to drop my i4 Emira off for the updates - took two days, and I was told 7 total updates (yellow). Also found out that Lotus engineering is STILL trying to resolve the false indictor fault issue. I was given the same update in March '25, so 4 months later still no...

    iPhone holder win!!

    My insurance policy explicitly calls that out, it was one of the questions I was asked when they put the quote together - "You are NOT going to use the vehicle to provide ride share services, like Uber, Lyft etc., right?" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Hello from Maryland

    ⬆️⬆️ I took care of that very easily with the green wire snip - 10min. job, mostly because I added bullet connectors to reattach if I wanted. Sounds much better..

    Hello from Maryland

    I have the AMG i4, love the way it drives and sounds great - although not the throatier sound of the v6. Think I saw @DerTheDer still has his v6M for sale - very low miles, and in Virginia.. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/2024-emira-fe-nimbus-gray-105k.6435/

    Puddle lights in door

    I popped them out from the bottom as well.. Just a tip pry/pull from the front side of the door (hinge side), the wire connects on the rear side of the door. Another tip, if you want to do the footwell lights too (they are the same part), you can curl your hand up behind the plastic and push...

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    I was told at the first service that I had 4 available, and it was on the service receipt. Since that time I have seen another update published, and confirmed with Lotus dealer.

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    My son is 6'5" he has no issues fitting comfortably. Have been loving the i4. Great for road trips, and spirited driving, especially the mpg. I do need to get 5 software updates applied, but I have had no problems.

    Custom Floor Mats For Emira

    Did the same, it looks incredible - Black on Black with the Emira embroidery. Have some puddle lights on the way, so the footwell will have a white light Lotus circle logo with the embroidered Emira right below the light logo, when the door is open.. BTW - the footwell lights are the same part...

    Base Audio (Non-KEF) Upgrades

    Just a thought, but I wonder if some sound deadening would help with the rattling, I was debating this as well - others have said it improves the sound in the cabin overall. As for an active sub, I have been researching this one, and so far its ticking a lot of boxes - small, low power...

    Wireless phone charger option

    I got one of the first ones he made - its great, but the i4 shifter gets in the way. I noticed that I kept dropping my phone down on the lower, so I am going to see if I can route the line out the front to the rest of the components Silent Cliantro sent me in the kit. That way I'll have 2...

    Wireless phone charger option

    Just tried - doesn't look like it.. it wont let me attach the file.. looks like media files are all recognized (jpg, png, mp3, mp4, pdf etc.), but not STL. Would you mind if I try and DM you the file?

    Wireless phone charger option

    I broke out the calipers and designed this little beauty in Fusion360. I intend to drop in a magsafe charger then wrap in alcantara. It drops right in perfectly, and allows me to route the cord under the tray in either direction - because I am not totally sure if I want to use the charging port...

    Can you Change the Assistant Voice to Female?

    Short press = Lotus Emira voice assistant (Emira navigation, Media, mute/unmute media volume, phone, climate control) Long press = iPhone/Siri (if phone is connected to carplay - anything you can ask Siri to do on an iPhone) If memory serves there is a Voice Command Examples option in System...

    📓 Journals Observations on i4 re round trip to South of France

    You are hearing the piped in engine sound, there is a good thread on this subject. The manufactured sound also tends to interfere with audio output on the subwoofer, causing it to distort at higher levels and/or with the windows open. I clipped the green wire in mine and it solved the issue -...

    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..
