Hey all, I'm reading that the current models of the smart Media System includes (or may include) Android Auto, and some articles mention Carplay coming too. Can anybody confirm this, and maybe say if this is backward compatible somehow? I drove a loan 2017 and noticed the interface is...

I know we have some smarties that have access to information us lay-people don't have, and asking our local smart dealer doesn't really help, so I'm relying on the kindness of strangers to answer this pretty specific Apple → smart Media-System question I bought a demo late 2016 ForTwo with the...

I found a delicious irony in the interaction between the Cruise Control function and the Eco-Score meter. Say you set your car Cruise control to 120km/h, but due to traffic, you slow down to 110 km/h. Cruise control smartly disengages until you’re ready again. The road opens up again, so you...

Need some new tyres in the next month or so. I have the Prime Sport with 16” wheels. Are there any other options than the oem Continentals? Seems most other brands either the front size OR the rear, but not both. Also, anyone found any all weather tyres? Winter I can find.

Hey People! Short version: Tried to check to updates from Tomtom. TomTom MyDrive app now complains that I need an app called Smart Media Connect, and redirects me to the TomTom smart page, but this "new" software is nowhere to be found. Longer version: I just plugged in my Smart Media...

Hi all, How is everyone's Start / Stop? I do about 10 miles a day to / from work, and it never kicks in. If I do the odd 100 mile journey, towards the end, it might kick in once, but then not again. I've recently had the first service, and like a fool completely forgot to mention this to...

This is my new Smarty, bought used with 14500km, 1.0L Passion 71HP. i have added some feature: Very very dark Windows, front fog light LED front H4 LED rear turn light LED Painted front/rear spoiler Front Brabus spolier

Hello everyone, Sorry to post immediately asking for help but I am really not sure where to go with this now. Driven smarties ever since I learned to drive – owned, second hand, each of the shapes J I bought a brand new Prem Plus Sport on an 67 plate in November last year – on finance. I...

So I bought my 5 speed manual ForTwo in the summer. It’s just been in for its first service and I had an auto as a loan car. Which gave me the chance to perform a direct comparison. I’m also an (ex) Roadster owner. So familiar with past smart offerings. Overall I was impressed with several...

I have already added the brabus handbrake and gearstick. Wondering if anyone has changed the gearstick gaiter. Mine is looking slightly worn and cheap looking!

UPDATE - THIS MOD DOESN'T WORK......... AS YET, BEING INVESTIGATED WATCH THIS SPACE - FOR NOW Nice mod to the car if you haven't got the premium/plus pack 15 minutes to do.

My navigation card has been formatted. How can I restore it?

Hi folks - got myself a 2016 forfour and was wondering if anyone has managed to get mirrorlink to work - according to the manual there should be a mirrorlink app in the services section of the menu (in the car) but I dont have it - just the usual tomtom live options. Any ideas? Tried a couple...

I have downloaded the cross connect app from Itunes, but when trying to connect via Bluetooth the app turns itself off. I am using an Iphone 6s with ois 11 operating system I have tried with my Andriod phone (less sim) and it all works accessing my home wi fi. Anyone got an idea why?

Proxy 0.9 Turbo DCT 2016 3525 miles. Ever since I got this bloody thing I have always noticed that under 50% or more braking at 50-60MPH+ the rear end gets so titchy and light. There has been a number of occasions when I've had to slam my brakes and the rear end is seriously about to slide out,...

I'm not (yet) the owner of a 453 but I'm hoping to get one (a forfour) in the near future (or at least, before they stop making the petrol models next year) but I've noticed that most 453s do not have the DAB option. Where it does, it can be - it seems - implemented with either the touch screen...

Hi, Hello from a returning smartie, I used to have a 450 facelift, bought a new C453 just under a month ago and loving it. I have noticed when we have a sharp frost the clock on the multi functional 3.5 inch colour display resets and the multi functional display is on the Trip screen despite...

Anyone else with a new-style Smart-for-Two having problems with getting the fuel gauge to register the petrol tank as full. I'm really pleased with my new Cabrio in most respects, but it doesn't matter how careful and persistent I am at the petrol pump, I can usually only get the fuel gauge to show...
