That appears to be a rather costly repair or enhancement. I was also surprised that pin 10 was not powered by default, even with non-genuine wiring kits.

Beneficial for you. I possess the original towbar with connector; however, there is no power present on pin 10. The workshop quoted a price of 500 Euros for the repair.

I received my wiring kit today (MZ178DX), and it is functioning properly. The trailer is acknowledged, and the towing mode is engaged. Pin 10 is now powered as anticipated.

Verify that there is a specific wire harness with a pin designated for activating towing mode capabilities. Consult with the installer prior to making a purchase. I possess a Brink plugin using this wiring, and it functions flawlessly.

I conducted independent research on various model-specific 13-pin towing wire kits and obtained information from ECS Electronics indicating that their kit MZ178DX is compatible with towing mode. The specified version is intended for left-hand drive (LHD), while MZ17813U is designated for right-hand drive (RHD) models. I am currently awaiting the installation of the kit and will share my experience here in two weeks.

Hello, I am considering installing a towing bar on my CX-60 and would like to know if it is feasible to activate the towing mode using a non-genuine Mazda towing bar and wiring kit. I comprehend that towing mode is selectable when the trailer is electrically attached. Does the installation of genuine towing require activation through software as well? What is the mechanism behind the detection process?

Thank you. I am unable to send direct messages due to the novelty of my account. If you are present I will collect a wiper motor tomorrow, and it appears that an eMMC replacement has been included in the task due to a recall. Should I be concerned about my device getting rooted?

Rooting the MCU2 is exceedingly difficult and necessitates physical access. Your optimal course of action is to direct message LayZ, as he is the expert in this domain. There may be a method to modify certain gateway configurations, however I have been informed that it is only feasible for pre-2020 MCU2 models. Furthermore, Full Self-Driving (FSD) is now accessible for MCU1, so it may be feasible to install and activate it; however, I am uncertain. It is new information to me that it is disabled for salvage vehicles, which could be a European policy.

Your assertion is accurate. The UK lacks Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities equivalent to those in the US; so, acquiring it merely enhances the Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) with traffic light recognition and offers no more features. This indicates that it functions solely on the motorway (highway). Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) and other autonomous driving technologies have yet to achieve certification, anticipated in 2026, after which they would be activated via a software update. The Tesla Service representative indicated that the recent policy includes the disabling of Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities for salvage vehicles, in addition to revoking access to the Supercharger network. I am uncertain about the features that may be lost if I upgrade to MCU2, as the previous owner does not recall what was unlocked on the car over five years ago. How can I establish contact with an individual capable of rooting MCU2?

... irony. He was jesting due to the absence of access to the purported FSD in the UK, particularly not anticipating the utilisation of their vehicle as a Robotaxi. Unrelated to salvage

Approximately 1,000 is solely allocated for high-voltage inspection and supercharger reactivation, unrelated to full self-driving. Thank you for the perspective on the UK.

FSD holds minimal significance in the UK, whether applied to salvaged vehicles or otherwise. Consequently, the quantity of individuals pursuing legal recourse to reclaim their funds. If the original poster intends to expend £1,000 just for Full Self-Driving, I would strongly recommend they allocate those funds towards illicit substances and escorts instead. Increased likelihood of reaching your target 🙂

Perhaps the UK is unique. That discussion does not reference salvage vehicles. Is your assertion pertaining to salvage autos specifically or to all vehicles in general?

2) Almost definitely accurate in the UK, akin to all other Teslas 🙂

1) Continuously, following examination, they will restore functionality (or activate it through root access, which you likely possess). False 3) False. They will not engage with any high-voltage components until a separate inspection is conducted. However, various mechanical and 12V systems are permissible. Inspection costs differ by region, but $1,000 seems reasonable (you did purchase a less expensive vehicle by acquiring a salvage title, correct? Thus, it is a little expense). If you upgrade to MCU2, you will lose the Supercharger 'hack' now available and will be required to undergo that inspection.

Greetings, I recently purchased a Tesla Model S Cat S with complimentary supercharging at 69,000 miles, however I failed to conduct prior study on the complications associated with salvage vehicles. The vehicle was rear-ended five years ago and subsequently fixed. Tesla has notified me that the vehicle will be prohibited from utilising the Tesla Supercharger network. The vehicle will never be capable of utilising Full Self Drive. Tesla will refrain from doing any services or upgrades on the car. The customer support representative informed me that an inspection process is possible, but it exceeds £1,000 and is not deemed worthwhile. I was unaware of this earlier since the prior owner had 'unlocked' software functions on the vehicle, including reactivating the supercharger. I currently desire the MCU2 upgrade for my Tesla, as my screen is exceedingly sluggish. Does anyone possess additional information regarding this inspection, its actual cost, and any alternate options available to me? Additionally, any information regarding the 'unlock' performed by the prior owner would be appreciated. This may be a sensitive subject, so please feel free to send me a private message.

Refuelled yesterday, displaying 330 miles; after driving 2 miles, it decreased to 300 miles. It appears to be pretty inaccurate. We will await the dealer's response. It indicated a range exceeding 200 miles on a full tank.

I had the same problem; when the tank is filled, it indicates just 260 miles. After driving just 11 miles, it decreased to 210 miles. The dealer has essentially stated, "accept the situation." I completed the recall, although it yielded no results. I am contemplating legal action for fraudulent advertising.

Thank you. I observed discussions regarding this matter, but I anticipated it would not be a significant issue. We shall visit the dealer on Thursday for diagnostics to ascertain their assessment.

I was not enquiring primarily about the premium versus normal distinction; rather, I was curious if you are utilising unleaded 88/E15 fuel. I suggest tactfully introducing the concept of the significant recall over a defective fuel tank sending unit to the dealer and observing the direction of the ensuing dialogue.

According to the user manual, utilising 87 octane is sufficient for the 280 hp model, hence premium fuel is unnecessary. I have verified the display using manual calculations, and the results appear to be quite similar.

Which fuel grade are you utilising? Are you manually calculating mileage or utilising the panel display to obtain your figures?

Greetings everyone, I possessed the vehicle for almost three weeks and have accrued around 700 miles. I needed to refuel approximately three times, and upon checking our miles per gallon, we are averaging around 16 to 17 mpg. The range following a refuelling indicates between 200 and 225 miles. I have observed posts regarding the recalls; however, upon consulting the dealer, they confirmed that there are no recalls associated with my VIN. The other peculiar aspect is the quantity of fuel remaining when the tank is indicated as empty. Approximately 14 to 15 gallons will be required for an 18.5-gallon tank. Is anyone else experiencing a similar mileage issue, and what actions did you take to resolve it?
