I am curious to discover the outcome of covering it.

Do you not observe the dot on the screen's edge shown by the image in the manual? That is the cover for the camera lens.

2024 CX-90 Premium Plus. Is anyone aware of the exact placement of the Driver Monitoring Camera? I refer to the exact location of the object. I wish to affix a sticker to it. I cannot tolerate a camera on my face in my own automobile. I recognise that it is probably basic onboard software for monitoring driver attentiveness and poses minimal harm. Nonetheless, the trust is simply absent. I am aware that it may lead to warnings and safety concerns, among other difficulties. I desire all those unpleasant aspects while obstructing the camera. I assume the Driver Attention feature can be disabled in the settings, potentially alleviating warning messages and similar notifications. Consequently, here is what the manual provides... I am unable to perceive the camera lens with my own eyes. It is imperceptible... Uncertain whether the manual explicitly delineates: Examine media item 276It would be preferable to avoid covering the entire driver side of the infotainment screen with stickers. I desire to utilise a small, aesthetically pleasing black dot sticker. I am struggling to develop sufficient confidence over its placement. Does anyone possess any insights? Seeking a modest degree of control in my vehicle—a negligible contribution to privacy preservation. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in this matter. Thank you

PS If you are acquainted with your engine builder, it is worthwhile to enquire if they are still employed at AMG and whether a meeting is possible. Occasionally, they successfully accomplish it, quite impressive.

I recommend the AMG factory tour as well. For an AMG, providing the VIN number suffices for booking. All complimentary badges, including of a meal. It is uncertain whether individuals without an AMG can participate, however it may be worthwhile to enquire if you are interested. Even individuals who lack an interest in automobiles like it.

Additionally, there is the Mercedes factory tour, Mercedes Classic, the Porsche Museum, and the Porsche factory tour. I need to socialise more frequently.

I intended to participate in the tour this year but had time for only one, so I opted for the Mercedes museum instead, believing my wife would like it; it was quite enjoyable.

Highly recommended for a visit. They conduct an excellent factory tour.

Deserving of viewing 🙂

Regrettably, the vehicle accumulates fewer than 1,000 miles annually.

If it was correctly connected to the CTEK and charging, I would guess a drain exists someplace, or perhaps an inside light was inadvertently left on. I would examine the radar detector initially. If you drive it quite regularly, I would not recommend charging it constantly. It will likely reduce the battery's lifespan, but after four years, it should remain functional. Attempt to activate the desulphation mode on the CTEK, if available.

Transition to LFP battery.

I attempted to start my R8 today, and a low battery alert illuminated on the dashboard. The last occasion I operated the vehicle was one month prior. My radar detector issued a low battery alert, indicating a voltage of approximately 6-7 volts. In 2021, I swapped my original battery with another Audi battery, and the vehicle is consistently connected to CTEK. What factors contribute to the rapid deterioration of the battery? My vehicle has approximately 19,000 miles.

I would prioritise investigating any engine faults over mileage, specifically focussing on the 1.8 4-cylinder (M271 - chain?) and the V6 (M272) balancing shaft and timing complications. It is essential to be cognisant of corrosion in the rear subframes. Both concerns may incur substantial repair expenses in relation to the worth of these vehicles, which is considerable at this price level. I wish you well in your search; nonetheless, it is imperative that you familiarise yourself with the aforementioned considerations to be cognisant of these potential concerns.

I possessed one of them for three years. It was highly dependable and required simply maintenance materials. It had one defect at the conclusion, which was water ingress into the boot. I recall that information existed regarding the replacement of the boot upper seal. Ensure everything is completely dry.

Since it is a secondary or sporty weekend vehicle, choose for the SLK, as it is widely regarded as a quintessential sporty automobile. Mileage - aim to remain under 100,000, a psychological threshold. A vehicle with minimal ownership and a full service history, particularly through Mercedes-Benz or independent services, is preferred. Has been serviced punctually, possesses numerous receipts, and is, in my opinion, invaluable. The tires can frequently reveal crucial information; for instance, having all four tires of the same reputable brand is advisable. The owner will invest a modest sum in his/her vehicle. The general state is another Purchasing from a private seller generally provides greater insight into the vehicle's maintenance and may reveal a legitimate rationale for its selling. If desired, have the vehicle inspected upon purchasing privately. Best of luck

I acknowledge your concern regarding high mileage vehicles. Considering that you are examining 15-year-old vehicles, I believe that 100,000 miles is not excessively high, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The general condition of the vehicle is crucial. A comprehensive service history is vital, ideally accompanied by a limited number of prior owners. If it includes it and all the documentation regarding replaced parts, it indicates that it has been well maintained. Best of luck!

Thank you for the responses.Greatly appreciated! Could I enquire about the significance of mileage on one of these vehicles? I have been limiting my search to vehicles with fewer than 70,000 miles; however, would it be prudent to expand this criterion to include those with up to 100,000 miles? I have never possessed a vehicle with such high mileage, which is why I sought one with fewer than 70,000 miles.I am quite apprehensive about high mileage vehicles. Thank you!
