Buying used...
Re: Buying used...
Leaving it in the car will stop you having to remember it. You can still use the rest of the tracker features though (assuming you are subscribed). The key fob is anti-hijack and theft protection. You still have a fully functional tracker too.
Doesn't the cobratrack tracker with keyfob allow Cobra to remotely disable the car if stolen? A worthy feature if you ask me (assuming they haven't already ripped it out). I'd also assume if they did rip it out it would stop the car from running?

Re: Buying used...
And congrats on the car by the way, glad it all came good in the end!
Re: Buying used...
I'm not bothered about disabling the car if it's stolen tbh, if a gang of little f*ckwits stole it, I wouldn't want it back anyway! Main thing was I didn't want to have to carry the fob around, have now taped it out of sight in the glove box. Job done.

Re: Buying used...
It really isn't that much hassle to remember the fob each time, it becomes habit....
Surely it's best to have it fitted and activated than not?....

Looks epic - enjoy!vestax32 wrote:So, after a bad start with the Belfast C7, I flew to Glasgow and picked this up today. I am very pleased with it, MUCH better than the first attempt, DRC is night and day better than the air. Had a 400 mile drive back, so gave the car a proper test, and can't fault it. The service from Carrera Specialist Cars was extremely professional and smooth. Hopefully I can start to enjoy C7 ownership now!

Re: Buying used...
Is it not in the user manual? From memory, according to the MMI from fronts are set at 32psi and the rears about 27. I could be mistaken though. I can check the door later.
Re: Buying used...
Manual says to check the sticker. I'm pretty sure it's 41psi front and 39psi rear, but this is a long way off your suggestion Mike, are you sure about 32 & 27?!MikeFish wrote:Is it not in the user manual?

Re: Buying used...
no not sure, actually, isn't the display in bar? maybe it was 2.7 bar not 27 psi. I just recall the digits. 2.7 bar is about 39psi so spot on with your rear figure.
Re: Buying used...
You can switch the display between bar and psi. After a bit of research, I can confirm its 41 & 39. Have ordered a new sticker fro the stealers, £8 for a sticker, thriving b*stards!MikeFish wrote:no not sure, actually, isn't the display in bar? maybe it was 2.7 bar not 27 psi.
