I bought my first car last summer at 35, this is the first longer trip I'll do in it (apart from looking at the northern most bus stop in SL's area and also looking at Dannemora Gruva), I just had breakfast and am bow heading out in the beautiful weather
I have a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV hatchback, bought it last year, and today was the first major issue....
After visiting Eskilstuna, I stopped by Arlanda on my way back to see if I could take some good photos, I had my camera and locked the car, tried to get a few shots, but nothing interesting happened, then 10 min later, when I wanted to leave, the car would not unlock the doors...
I called for a mechanic, ha managed to get the driver's side door open, pop the bonnet and with a battery booster, got me going again.
I suspect an old battery, and I will call a workshop on monday to get it checked out.
Yeah it's weird. So much electronics in the cars now that they become unreliable. I heard that Volkswagens infotainment systems completely lock up sometimes and require a reboot. Luckily the car still works when it happens....
My Leon has been a really good car for me, I bought it used, with 15000km run on it, and now at 35000km this is the first big issue I have had.
As for infotainment issues, I have sort of had issues with mine, the main infotainment unit works fine, but the carplay link to my iPhone do get messed up from time to time, especially if it is running wirelessly.
I think it had more to do with radio interference and how the Carplay protocol is implemented rather than the infotainment in the car.
I have however found an external factor that has messed with my car's built in navigation system, Russia spoofing GPS signals, I drove around the northern suburbs of Stockholm, and my car's map thought I was driving in the southern suburbs and costantly moved my marker all over the place, my phone was fine though at the same time...
You didn’t ask me, but I’ll give you my unsolicited recommendation: Jellyfish - Spilt Milk
In a time when grunge was the new hotness, this band released a masterpiece. Catchy ass pop rock - like if you threw Queen, The Beach Boys and The Beatles all in a blender with some modern, polished sensibility. Dang just talking about it makes me want to relisten.
Although it doesn’t sound like it really came from the 90s to me honestly. Ok I’ll shut up now lol
