Rok_Dr’s Exceedingly Unofficial Owner’s Manual Supplement

CRH said:

The problem with this is that it all wakes up when you open the doors, it also reawakes when reconnecting the battery. I wasn't aware of this when I added my CTEK charger cable but it didn't seem to cause any issues. But, it could also be that I'd had door open that long trying to remove plastic covers that it had gone to sleep?

UPDATED 3 June 2024. New Link Below. Refer to post #48 in this thread for changes.
Since Christmas I’ve been slowly compiling an off-line document which I can print and put in my glove box that captures information missing from the owner’s manual and other useful bits and pieces.

I’ve now got it to a point where its ready to share with forum members. You can download the new PDF using the following link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-EN7YrxOAvyUkDlTuZBijCKjF88bpXSq/view?usp=sharing

The forum has been a great source of information so thank you all for your efforts. Posts I’ve drawn information from are referenced (if you need further info) and members acknowledged in the document.

I’ll update the link in this post and post an alert in the thread when I update the document. Any feedback, corrections or even additions are welcome. Happy for you to share provided you make acknowledgement to this thread.

If you print it out either use an A5 page and shrink to fit or an A4 booklet in adobe reader print settings..

May you find it useful.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks again Steve for your efforts. A printed copy with travel to the Cape with me this week. It will save me trying to explain how everything works to my travelling companions, who arrive the day before we go.
But being blokes, they probably won't read the instructions!
Just reading it now, there is a very handy youtube video link you could include in your next iteration, on how to remove the trim on the (RHD) passenger side. I used it for relocating pass through for UHF and another USB outlet from the power in passenger footwell. Very handy.

Thanks again

A printing tip to make an A5 booklet that will fit neatly in your glove box.

The manual is A4 in size but if you select Booklet in Adobe Reader it will print an A5 booklet using A4 paper. My printer does double sided printing but if your doesn't select Front side only and when finished feed the paper in again and select Back side only. If this is the case there will be a bit of trial and error to ensure both sides are printed in the the correct orientation. When printed fold in half and secure along the spine using staples or paper clips.

Alternatively just save the PDF to your phone or tablet
