    What you drinking now?

    But I would like to try it, just to be sure.

    What you drinking now?

    Probably tastes like paint stripper anyway....

    Sportsmaserati CarPlay

    Mine is wired. There are two USB inputs to the unit. When I installed it I ran both to the footwell just incase, and ended up teeing both of them so I could get faster phone charging. I've removed the T and tried both USB inputs individually, but it just doesn't recognise that anything is...

    Sportsmaserati CarPlay

    Yeah, sounds the same set up as mine. The box you refer to in the passenger footwell is what I called the dongle.

    Sportsmaserati CarPlay

    Haven't got hold of an I-phone yet, but did try un installing android auto updates on my phone, and also plugged in my old S10, that hasn't been updated for 2 years (and used to work on there) but no joy yet. Cheers. What system do you have fitted? One of these but the later wireless version...

    GTs MC shift - Is this standard?

    And yes, that it why it is maybe louder than you'd like. While your under there, also check that both exhaust valves are opening and closing as they should when you press the sport button. And give them a good squirt of lube regardless.

    That is an aftermarket x pipe.

    Sportsmaserati CarPlay

    Na, we're all Android, and S21's so probably at the same update level, but I can hopefully collar a yoof with an I-phone at some point. Lol. Am I right in thinking that the only difference for carplay was the lightning cable, so now the newer I - phones are usbc, it should just be plug and play?

    Sportsmaserati CarPlay

    A week or so ago, my up till now 4+ years totally reliable V1, has stopped connecting to my phone and android Auto doesn't boot. Samsung Galaxy S21 All the cables seem to be working ok and the the phone charges when plugged in. I've tried both the inputs and different cables. The dongle still...

    Wheelarch rust repair

    I imagine it's had wheel spacers on which has led to stone chips. I've noticed since having spacers on my GT, the arch lip and the lower part of drivers door has been getting peppered. If you don't touch them up quick, that's what happens.

    Opening the can again: Detailing

    Alternator failure, replacement and fix options

    Sounds like a very reasonable price. Hopefully lasts too.

    Maserati Granturismo 2013 X Pipe Exhaust

    I was looking for that fur ages earlier lol. But was searching, backbox... Muffler, wadding, baffles :rolleyes:

    Recalibrating touchscreen in Granturismo

    Sounds like a V1 carplay install. @conaero might be able to help.

    Maserati Granturismo 2013 X Pipe Exhaust

    If I was on a budget, I'd cut open the back boxes and remove the wadding. I've done it on previous cars when aftermarket options were rediculous money, and it sounded great. You get the distinctive tone of the oem design, but more volume.

    Maserati Granturismo 2013 X Pipe Exhaust

    Your right. Standard 4.7 S (well, the ones that have valves open all the time in sport) are sublime, and nearly perfect. I nearly didn't, but personally run a larini x-pipe for a bit more volume and a few more audible crackles and burbles, but you do sacrifice a little tone 'class' and gain a...

    Anyone tempted by this spoiler?

    I'm hoping this is tongue in cheek? For decent spoilers that you might actually wanna fit, message @Dman666 he should be able to sort you out.
