Infotainment Console software improvements – INEOS wish-list - add your own

When miles/mph is selected for units:
Change the cruise control speed change input to + or - 1 mi/h instead of + or - 1 km/h.

Current programming causes drivers using miles to question whether the speed input buttons are working correctly, since the displayed target cruise control set speed does not change consistently with every button push. This reduces driver confidence in the vehicle.

Faster response from the touchscreen, Push to start ignition, One touch window down and Change the heat and AC controls from a slider bar to display the actual desired temp in F or C and upgrade the audio sound- even once you get the sub working on the premium package the sound is lacking.

I would have to agree with the ability to acknowledge the Low Tyre Pressure warnings. I hate being reminded every 30 seconds that my Tyre is low. I know. I saw it the first 50 times you flashed at me. LOL. And even when I did fill them, it took forever for the warnings to clear.

Also, it would be nice to have a mixed Favorite Radio Station selection. Like your favorite radio stations along with favorite XM in the same place. Haven't had the car long enough to find any other small things that could use a fix, but those ones stuck out to me.

Somehow have the ability to go 'dark screen' when the vehicle is off and the key removed after driving (but still sitting in the vehicle). When I'm waiting for my wife in the grocery parking lot at night I don't need a brightly lit screen in front of me killing my night vision.

Maybe another Ineos Forum product for @Stu_Barnes - Fold down or snap on Screen Shield? Like a welding helmet visor. Or maybe just a slip-over soft cover held in place with magnets/velcro.

Did you know you can turn it off? At least the right part of it. I forgot how. Think you have to press mute for a little longer.

HARD REBOOT OF INFOTAINMENT UNIT
If you hold down the MUTE Button, half of the screen will go blank. If you keep holding down the MUTE Button the whole screen will go blank. Then remove your finger from the MUTE Button and the whole Infotainment Console does a hard reboot. It can fix some issues with the console, for example, the fuel gauge is not showing.

FWIW: One needs to bear in mind that the cruise control buttons are also used to adjust speed using 'downhill assist'. Increments based on kmh rather than mph, or fractions thereof, have the advantage of providing a greater degree of "fine tuning" when negotiating tricky sections...

EGT and TURBO BOOST
INEOS please give us this detail on screen somewhere, both are very important to monitor when towing.

If EGT go above 550C they should be monitored, above 650C you should do something now and over 700C risks a blown motor. So allow us to see this information and be proactive when towing.

Erratic PSI on a turbo can signal a problem, or the PSI is too high is another danger sign.

Is there a transmission overheat alarm?

Is there a transmission overheat alarm?

The transmission temperature is monitored on the TEMPERATURES screen, so I would say yes.

I have only ever shown Green for me, but if it is like other Alerts it goes Amber then Red when temps goes too high..

 

[Tazzieman]

I use that screen as my "favourite" option.
But I need someone else (with a 3.5T caravan) tow uphill in high range to test it for me
Not that I have a 3.5T caravan.

From my recent shake down trip I would make these observations (AU Spec Diesel with roofrack, not fully loaded):

The engine oil temp in the Grenadier responds quickly to how hard the engine is working, so I have been using that instead of EGT and Boost for the time being - it better than nothing.

For just the car (no van) below 80kph, engine oil temperatures often around 92 to 95C. Over 100 kph it can be between 97 and 103C, but climb as high as 110C. Temp is still Green at 110C. Once the hill or long incline goes the engine oil temp often drops quickly to the bottom of the range. Driving for an extended period can cause it to go a bit higher due to heat build up.

For the petrol version , the engine oil temp isn't displayed.

INEOS needs to explain that omission.

 

[Tazzieman]

INEOS needs to explain that omission.

For some reason it was dropped, I think after one of the software upgrades.

 

[Logsplitter]

I would prefer to have engine oil temp also.

 

[Eric]

INEOS needs to explain that omission.

I suspect that it was a software bug in the new software release, but rather than holdup the much needed software update to fix all the other issues they went ahead. I reckon that the petrol engine will get another software update to correct the omission in due course. I can't see it being a deliberate omission for some unknown reason.

In addition to a larger picture for the reverse camera I want the „off-road“ screen as it was bevor the software up-date. This was very good….. no idea why it was deleted…..

When ESC button is pressed and ESC deactivated after using lockers ESC button should return to the state it was before, deactivated
