What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[holdmybeer]

Brilliant. I need to do this too.

@IslandFalconer and others actually had the brilliance and then shared it.

I present the Auto Start/Stop Temporary fix

So, for everyone who wants Auto Start/Stop to stay off, I have a Jerry Rigged has worked for the last three days solution. I’d love to have longer term data, but 72 hours is what I have so far with no fault codes. I bent a little sheet metal just thick enough to slid in under the button, than...

Now if someone can rig up a sippy bird or Rube Goldberg contraption to tap FAV for ADAS ISA setting and then stab "OFF" at startup ... take my money.

I have to ask, why take a chance on damaging the functionality of the button (spring or whatever is behind it) when it’s just a single push of the button? Yes every time you start it, but don’t you

Because car guys cut out all unecessary stuff and if needed improve the factory offering.
I've cut holes and modded the electrics and sleep well at night. It's my car ( not the bank's) after all!

Yesterday I bring my car to my dealer to have some issues fixed, software update, etc. It lend me a brand new grenadier with ADAS / ISA (...) OMG happy not to have it. It is just a nightmare. And when everything is switched off you have messages behing the steering wheel and on the main screen. It can't stop making noise and being wrong on the speeds limits. A real nightmare. Happy to have my "old grenadier" without this bunch of shit even if it is not specific to the grenadier!!

Not today... But yesterday

At my dealer for some fixes, software updates, TMPS cloning, ... And another kind of toy on the way back!!

I didn’t want to start any arguments, I promise. I even gave you a thumbs up above. I was just curious and you answered.

Like I just stated above, wasn’t trying to start a big argument & hope this doesn’t turn into pages of people on both sides. I was only curious. Btw, you won’t find a more “car guy” than this guy right here! Check out the thread showing your personal fleet off, I have several and all but one customized/modded. I constantly modify almost every vehicle I buy, including my first Grenny, which is really modded out and probably canceled my warranty in several areas (tons of lights and a lot of cutting/slicing factory wiring, lift/larger tires so suspension, etc etc). So I do get it. Can’t someone just ask a simple why question without everyone jumping on either side of the fence?

The one in the middle is the right one. It says 60 amp on top. The one to the far right is a spare for a shunt to the aux.

I guess I had a 50/50 shot and got lucky…. Rather be lucky than good any day.

If you only switch off the ADAS speed warning you get no warning messages behind the wheel

But the damn thing still bongs at you every time the speed limit changes and every time you cross a painted lane line. It’s a solid axle truck that wants to wander a bit on the highway so lane line get encroached upon regularly. That and I have a home in the mountains, try driving mountain roads without crossing the lane line.

I’m waiting for the day when someone hacks into the code running this crap and we can turn it off.

The speed limit notice is a different setting that is persistent between ignition cycles

I have heard that many times, but it may hold true for me, the “welcome to the internet” part. I stated before somewhere on this forum, but I am not an internet/tech guy. This is the very 1st forum I have ever joined and especially communicated on. So I am learning. In person debating/arguing I can definitely hold my own, but on here I do feel like a kid learning to ride his bike. I’ll ease into it. I am just myself, no fake news with me. I do have to say for the most part everyone has their own opinions but are usually very welcoming. The only thing I don’t really get are the non-Grenadier owners who come on and are always bashing or negative towards the vehicle. Boggles my mind why even be here & can’t you see how many people own and love them? Look at all the up start vendors/businesses created just for the Grenadier. Also all the local town/country/city/ whatever you call your area in what country you live, get togethers with lots of people and Grenadiers!! They usually post pics on here and usually it’s more than I would have thought attending. Does the forum members have shirts saying “Grenadier lifer” if so I need several in different colors…….

That’s the problem, they are all persistent and most trigger a yellow warning light when off. It isn’t a deal breaker but it is very annoying.

Persistent meaning if you turn it off it will not turn back on; unlike the speed warning and lane warning

I first experienced the speed limit sign recognition in a 2015 Volvo and thought it was the coolest thing... where I live, the limit can drop from 50 MPH to 25 MPH as you enter a village. I've been dinged twice, even though I rarely go 10 MPH over.

Now, I find myself frustrated by my vision. I can see fine just an arm's length away, but need readers to see the number on the center stack. So, learning that I can 'permanently' turn off the setting is most welcomed news.

Ordered some forum light brackets and a set of KC’s (to be delivered to a mate in VA and I’ll bring home in my suitcase next time I’m over there to hopefully avoid the duty and shipping!!)

Internet forums... A learning curve. Think of the Mr Men kids books.

Mr Dad joke, that's all he posts.

Mr Techie. Only ever writes about tech and posts frequent how to guides.

Mr Angry. Always up for an argument and will write 1000 words in his defence.

Mr Interloper. Only here to troll.

Mr Unhappy. Fixated about something, normally inconsequential like the colour of the glovebox lock. Repeats it everywhere.

Miss Chirpy. Knowing mostly males on the forum, but normally very knowledgeable.

Mr Slightly Cynical. That's me.

Mr Moderator. King of the jungle.

What do you have on the body contact side of the supports to prevent scratches?
