Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

[ino]

Mine came back from one year maintenance, but she still has minor trouble with the CarPlay and the corner collision sensor.

BTW, Lotus already knows the issue of the corner collision sensor, but they didn’t figure out how to fix it.

CarPlayはケーブルを刺して出発するまでに3回切れたのでなにがなんだかもうわからんです。
Google mapsではなくmoviLinkを使うと安定していたので、安心していた矢先にこれです…笑
やはりiPhoneへの給電が弱いことからの不安定さな気もするので、無線ユニットの導入を前向きに検討しようと思います。

Hmm. Looks like a good alternative for folks who want to try out different settings ! I don't think 60万円 for all 4 corners w/installation and alignment is pricey. But adjustability means increased weight and more points of failure. Once you have identified your favorite setting, the next logical step would be to custom order a set of "static" setting units, and that can get pricey...
フルアジャスタブルなんてセッティング出しのための道具で、セッティングが決まればカスタムでバネとショックを作ってもらうのでは。そっちこそお高くつきますぜ！あれ、フルアジャスタブルというわけでもないですね。伸び側の調整無し？

So, when will you be placing an order?

 

[virtualmacho]

Maybe they will try to fit them on my car and forget to remove them when I pick it up sometime later this month...

 

[shin73]

says 1 way adjustability so you should get bump/rebound all in one setting. BTW, I've never heard of this brand before, does anyone have any idea where this comes from?

Haha, not any time soon

Really hope that your car comes back soon. Still a little time to Hokuriku so fingers crossed.

無線ユニットの導入を前向きに検討

I installed Ottocast U2AIR Pro for my iPhone, and it working properly. However, I haven’t “driven” her yet.

I’ll see what will happen to my CarPlay with Google Maps next weekend, unless the weather is bad.

Geez ! Are all the local Elises in the area in for maintenance or something?! Is that my Emira waiting in the far back right?

無線ユニット

DEAD

Ottocast U2AIR Pro is working properly, but the CarPlay stops when I use Google Maps. (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) Thanks a lot!
It’s fine with moviLink, and some other navigation apps, so I have to change the boat…

So it's an issue between the Emira implementation of CarPlay and the current Google Maps release. Not much we can do, but hey, you now have wireless CarPlay !
結局、有線でも無線でもエミーラの CarPlay と現行 Google Maps の相性が悪いということで確定ですね。とりあえず無線が使えるようになったということで...

Is Waze available there? It's a really good nav app.

Are you starting g to get any other tuning or modification options available in Japan?

yes, we do get waze here in Japan but not so popular so don’t see many fellow Wazeees? (Or whatever they’re called) driving around in the map. Anyway, might be worthwhile to try it out if google is constantly crashing.

It seems Google Maps is the only app that is crashing on iOS/CarPlay. Folks are using other options, including domestic apps which tend to have richer data.

Unfortunately… not that I know of except for thIs guy who looks like he’s going to be releasing a 3rd cat delete.


I couldn’t get the right fitment with grp and am not a handyman capable of doing a pipe expansion so probably will go the easy route and switch over when it becomes available.

Great to see that 3rd cat removal will still pass emissions in Japan !
