Last month, I helped a friend test drive the 2025 GL8 ES Luxury, and personally verified it has wireless CarPlay! It automatically connected to my iPhone to play music, and I could even skip tracks using the central control knob. However, note that this feature is only available in the Avenir 6-seater version—the standard version requires a wired connection. Before using it, make sure to turn on your phone’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, then tap the 'Projection' icon on the infotainment screen to see the Apple logo. If it doesn’t connect, it’s likely due to system lag—just turn off the car, lock it, wait ten minutes, and try again. Wireless CarPlay is super convenient, but it drains your phone battery fast during navigation, so it’s best to pair it with a wireless charging pad—luckily, the new armrest console comes with this feature.

What is the tire pressure matching channel number for the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The tire pressure channel number for Volkswagen is 5053-65-16-10896. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Low tire pressure: Tire pressure is critical to the life of a tire. Both excessively high and low pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High tire pressure: Excessively high pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. If impacted, it may cause internal cracks or blowouts. High pressure also accelerates wear on the tread and reduces puncture resistance.

What is the difference between normal lane changing and cutting in line?

Normal lane changing refers to the driver changing lanes under normal traffic conditions without affecting the vehicles behind. On the other hand, cutting in line refers to abnormal or malicious lane changing that negatively impacts the vehicles behind, potentially causing sudden deceleration or braking, which may lead to traffic congestion. The following are precautions for lane changing: When changing lanes: Avoid abruptly turning into the adjacent lane to prevent collisions with suddenly appearing vehicles or side-slipping due to slippery road surfaces. Maintain a safe distance: Avoid obstacles when changing lanes, ensuring there is enough safe distance ahead and changing lanes appropriately in advance. If there is an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane and lane changing is temporarily not allowed, you must brake and stop. Lane changing should not be too slow: Driving for a long distance with the wheels on the lane line may affect other vehicles. Generally, after overtaking, maintain a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle before returning to the original lane.

What causes the BMW 328 to shake and stall during cold starts?

The reason why the BMW 328 shakes and stalls during cold starts is due to excessive carbon deposits. Carbon deposits can accumulate on the inner walls of the throttle body, the intake valve heads, the inner walls of the intake manifold, the top of the pistons, and the inner walls of the combustion chamber. Taking the 2016 BMW 328 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with the following dimensions: length 4753mm, width 1811mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2920mm, fuel tank capacity 60l, and curb weight 1590kg.

Will a Car Spontaneously Combust if Exposed to Prolonged Sunlight?

Under normal circumstances, prolonged exposure to sunlight will not cause a car to spontaneously combust. Below are the hazards of prolonged sunlight exposure to cars: Damage to the car paint: It damages the car paint and accelerates the aging of the paint surface. Additionally, the sealing rings around the windows may also age faster, leading to poor sealing and potential water leakage. Release of toxic gases from the interior: Extended exposure to sunlight can cause the interior to emit toxic gases. Materials such as leather, fabrics, composite materials, and rubber in the interior can release toxic gases like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after prolonged sunlight exposure. Accelerated tire aging: Tires exposed to prolonged sunlight may experience aging, softening, and deformation. When driving at high speeds, the temperature of the tires increases, raising the risk of a blowout.
