Morning @kezo The 37 mpg was purely over the miles travelled in petrol only, which included periods when HEV mode was also using petrol to charge the battery. The overall journey was just over 50 mpg ICE equivalent once miles driven in EV mode (both charged and regenerated) were added. As I said at the time, it’s a bit of a guesstimate as I’ll only get a true picture when I refuel, although of course that will only give me a total cost, not a split. However, I only intend to calculate the total ICE mpg equivalent, as the split is irrelevant really as the poorer periods in petrol help extend the cheaper periods in electric.
‘Live Dynamic’ is an odd one. When listening to music, if you go to the Media screen (I can’t remember if it’s the screen that details what you are listening to, or the main media menu accessed by pressing Media twice) you sometimes (not always) see a small box that says ‘Live Dynamic’. If you press it a tiny blue light illuminates. I’m not sure if it stays on or turns off each time you switch the car off, as I never think to check. It’s supposed to restore digital recordings to their more original sound. I thought it made a slight improvement.
Do you use Amazon Music? I’m finding that’s quite temperamental. Sometimes it won’t connect easily, other times it either freezes or stops at the end of one track and you have to press the play icon to continue the playlist. I also can’t seem to get the ‘Alexa’ voice activation to work. When pressing and holding the Voice button it activates Alexa but doesn’t seem to find results.
One other question for you. If I stop and get out of the car to pop in to a shop or whatever and my wife stays in the car, the radio turns off (it stayed on in the BMW until I switched everything off). Even in ‘Accessory Mode’ (first press of the ‘Start’ button) the radio won’t come on, and pressing the control button doesn’t seem to turn it on (again, it did in the BMW). How can my wife listen to the radio if I’m out of the car? Many thanks.
