Also speedometer, which is hardly a convenience feature.
- fyrn_ 3y agoThe dashboard panel is working, at least according to Twitter updates. "Only" affects the infotainment console.
- neoromantique 3y agoThe reddit thread in official subreddit suggests otherwise, with people suggesting using 'speedometer apps' on their phones as a workaround. I don't know, I have car from 1991 so I'm just observing the trainwreck.
- matthews2 3y agoMy car from 1997 with an analogue speedometer still has issues, because the wheel speed sensors have corroded and don't work when wet...
- neoromantique 3y agoDoesn't take a drive to dealer to fix that, and even then you have engine RPM and engine sound to guesstimate the speed.
