dr_broon Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 If your phones on a more recent version of android you need to do the manual hotspot thing as android doesn't let other apps change WiFi settings any more. You need to enable developer mode on android auto on your phone to be able to manually start the server. I haven't been able to get it to work automatically from detecting Bluetooth. There's a wiki on line with the guides on.

I'll have a look. Excellent timing as I currently have a hire van with Android auto and it's great isn't it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Aye, I've used it in a couple of hire cars as well - it's pretty cool. One of the things that swung it was that the sat nav app I use works on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Not happy Just got a letter from the DVLA saying that the car has to have a Q plate on. This is after they told me that it didn't need one, but that I couldn't keep the tubs reg, and then sent me out a new V5. So now I've got to go through the faff of getting a new VIN number stamped on, and have a feckin Q plate that I can't change or get a private reg!

KiNK43 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Or just keep originall vin and reg of the new shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 They just called back, he found the other records and that it had already been re registered on the r plate, so that will stand... Panic over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Totally over the moon that they reversed the decision. They had made it so that both of the original registrations were void, and issued a new vin. I was going to have to get the old vin obliterated, get a new one stamped on to the chassis, get a new vin plate fitted, then apply for a VSA inspection which could take a month to get sorted, and then register it with the DVLA when they'd issue a Q plate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Sweet mate. So what's the new reg? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 That's so cool, no Q plate for Tubs2! Plus means you can get her back on the road even quicker mate. Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
