(Various brands) Various - Video tutorial

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Car stereo
Operation: A problem with the Fiat U-connect infotainment system.

In this video we see an "annoyance" regarding the U-Connect of Fiat: basically, when starting the car, the radio automatically turns on. In practice, there is no way to start the infotainment system without also turning on the radio. The solution would be to turn off the radio when arriving, so that it remains off when starting again. But in this case, the entire system doesn't restart, not just the radio, so if I put my phone on its holder and someone calls me, the hands-free doesn't work; in practice, only the U-Connect system should turn on, not the radio. In fact, this problem has been raised by several users on forums, and many find this feature of Fiat's U-Connect annoying, as it does not allow them to turn off the radio without turning off the entire infotainment system.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
