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!

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...

Hi all, My wife’s white edition has been back to Smart Ascot multiple times now for the same issue. When hitting traffic on hills, unless she puts it into neutral immediately, leaving in drive will bring on the engine warning light and it goes into limp mode which gradually corrects itself once...

Got into my 6 month old smart car yesterday, tried to start it and it wouldn't start, got a "reduced power" message and check owners manual. Called smart assist, got the AA out, error codes refer to crankshaft and turbo. Now in intensive care at the dealers. My 5th smart car, only one to develop...

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...

IS ANYONE WITH MODELS (c453) ON 16" WHEELS EXPERIENCING TYRE NOISE ??

Just bought a Brabus 453 and it didnt come with a rev counter, Ive got one thrown in so will fit it when it arrives from the dealer but it needs to be programmed in so the dealer tells me but they cant do it !! Anyone know who could do this for me ?? Thanks Rob

My ForTwo Cabrio (Prime Premium) seems to be pretty poor at picking up FM radio stations. Is there anything I can do, buy, or fit to improve things?

Dash Handbrake warning light flickering.... quite random. I’m guessing first port of call will be a duff hand brake switch , I only noticed it this morning whilst sitting in the car (fully handbraked obviously with engine running) waiting for someone. It’s still under warranty , so no big...

Whilst driving home on Christmas day. Went to change radio station and what can only be described as a petrol generator noise coming from the dashboard. Every thing still functioning. Pulled over to the hard shoulder turned off engine still noise persisted. Came off the motorway at next services...
