Re: Tow bar

I’m sure you have tried switching off the rear active braking. Other than that I would be tempted to put the rack on again to see if it is that causing it to freak out.

Re: Commando / CEE Charging 7.2kw 32amps

There are some technical reasons why dedicated charging points are used. Primarily due to the extra protective devices contained within them. Might be worth making sure your electrician is familiar with the latest IET guidance.

Re: Phonecall after 1.5.2 update

The google phone app is pretty poor compared to the Apple CarPlay app. We use CarPlay and Siri to make calls and it works well generally. Not much use for the Android users though.
