    Navigation Map Update

    Eventually I hit another problem. After downloading, extracting the tarball either with stuffit or Unarchiver, it complained about a broken archive....not with the standard osx zip tool tough....I gave up and dropped 40 bucks for their usb stick...lets see

    Bang & Olufsen

    The problem with ALL car stereo is the location. It is very hard to produce good sound in this confined space. Its much easier in a "good" listening room. The acoustic of any stereo (or orchestra) depends HIGHLY on the room. Why all these efforts to create great concert venues (Vienna...

    SYNC 3 - which version are you at?

    My experience, and it might be wrong: a) first it uploads the binaries to the system and reports "update installed", but I think its only transferred and upon next restart it actually installs it. Thats why you first saw old version and then later new....just my guess b) 19149 fixed the Waze...

    Mid-engine?

    and it started with "mid-engine?".....lol.... and I guess we can establish that facts don't care about feelings.... And also, I hear often today that "truth" is relative. I think truth is absolute....like our inalianble rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.....(if it come as a...

    Navigation Map Update

    Anybody successfully upgrade maps? I flashed Sync a couple of times with success, but the Maps..??? It first starts all good, but then either a) I leave the usb stick in for hours and hours (700mile trip) and it does neither complain nor confirm final update b) or I remove the stick after...

    Mid-engine?

    911? lol...really do not know...is the trunk of a 911 in front? Is a trunk, where you can transport luggage? in that case, your statement would be correct imho... again, with rear engines we make a big distinction between mid(-rear) and rear (911, beetle). Why not in the front? I general...

    Mid-engine?

    the most boring discussions are these were all agree...its actually not a discussion but a bashing of the other side. Also, while not in this thread....lol...;-)....I always learn something, when in a real discussion. Learning another point of view. So even if I dont agree, it still makes be...

    Mid-engine?

    Now, I like YOUR humor....you made me smile...thank you!!! Plus, you made me think even more....of the actual benefits or NOT of such an arrangement....obviously, its never circling a race course like a Ferrari (with same front-mid setup)...BUT, what IF it would be in front of the axle? Would...

    Mid-engine?

    some people seem to be happier to stay in the box....haha.... You can have engine in front of driver or behind. ok. So front and rear. I agree. But then most agree to have two sub-groups for rear-engine. Before and after rear axle. One is then called mid-engine. Why is the same logic not...

    Mid-engine?

    thanks much for the confirmation. Last time I charged the battery, the topic came to my mind and I was just wondering.....yeah its inane....but in the big scheme, this whole forum is not earth-moving....but that does not mean its not fun to discuss our Expys. Which btw love every time I drive in...
