Mine makes the same noise. Normal.

Failure rate is probably 20% now... that is, it won't be the mode I left it in when I start the car. There is also the potential that it can do harm since this is an unknown device from China. You have to accept the risk and imperfect performance. If I were to do it again, I probably would...

After testing some 8 or 9 Carplay wireless dongles and wired over the past 2 weeks, it is clear to me that some are faster than others. Interestingly, some dongles are faster and less laggy than wired Carplay with my iPhone 14ProMax. My favorite is still Expinsig dongle but unfortunately it...

yes. but if they match your rims, it should be a non-issue.

If the AWD module issue is intermittent and you get the codes for it, you should at least try the grounding mode listed in the TSB. Dealers don't seem to want to do it and push for a new AWD module--whether covered under warranty or not. It's probably just easier for them. I don't think it's...

I just replaced one with one with the metal collar (similar to the one pictured). It is much more noticeable in the black stock wheel. If I were to do it again, I'd one that is just a black rubber stem.

You should run a scan to see what codes come up. A lot of different faults have the same dash warnings.

No, not possible.

Am trying an Expinsig Carplay/AA wireless dongle (link not given because product "unavailable" on Amazon). To my surprise, it is noticeably less laggy than my other CP-only dongles. Also does not crash. Bottomline, if your older carplay dongle is laggy, you might want to try something else...

some button presses seem to take a second... some 3-4 seconds before I see action.

Which dongle? My Mavlou crashes often. That was previously my fave. Then tried Carplaykits CP1. crashes but not nearly as often. Ihave 3 more dongles to try this weekend...

You saying it'll last you a full year??

You have to prep religiously. I think it's a great product. I like it better than the Adam's tire dressing I'm using now. Neither last more than a couple of weeks but i just do another coat at that point...no need to reprep and start from scratch.

Two different models of mine crash periodically. Straight corded....solid as a rock. lagging is noticeable when corded but even more apparently with the wireless dongle. for the most part, not an issue since addresses get entered by voice. If Siri doesn't recognize my voice search, i will...

Wow. I wonder what other modules can do OTA updates on 2025+. I think 2020-2024's could only do Sync and map updates.

Not sure about the rears (I have booster seats) but would assume they are the same sort of electrical heating element/pad...

Carplay is wired. That said, many use the Carplay wireless dongles to connect to Carplay wirelessly with mixed results.

Haven't tried one but it's a shame that's not a feature that was added for 2025 on the ST and Platinum. When we bought my wife's Q5 in 2020, we were not expecting the feature but it's really nice to know your speed without taking your eyes from the road.

Here's the writeup I made: https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/seat-heating-pad-failure-and-replacement.505112/

Not sure what NaviUpgrade is but my MY2020 was built in 6/2019. the fullscreen mod works just fine. Make sure you are on Sync 3.4 23188. The good folks doing the mod have been good about assisting people who neglected to back up their files or where the early versions may not have backed them...
