What did you do to your G01 X3 today?

jccx3 · 12-23-2021, 09:48 PM

I don't think my car has a front camera. It definitely doesn't have the side cameras in the mirrors. When I go in reverse, only view on screen is from the rear camera.

I don't really need an always-on dashcam. I just want footage when driving in case of an accident. I have a Rex V1 in my current car, which I don't really like. So I was wondering if anyone can recommend a better one. Hopefully not something that requires complicated install like tearing open interior trim pieces.

Full crystal set installed this morning. Illuminated M coloured logo shifter, start button, idrive and volume button.
Very easy to do except for the I drive button which was very fiddley to get the ribbon cable back in and lock the cable clip. Been for a test drive and everything works as it should.

I am noticing fingerprints on it already

I suppose it matches the piano black trim!

Urbi · 12-24-2021, 09:01 AM

That’s amazing job Shaun ! Any tips how to do this ? Did you disconnected battery ?

This looks awesome. Where did you get the shifter?

Yes battery in the boot, negative disconnected.

It came with full instructions there are YouTube videos showing how to do it as well. Just took my time, used microfiber towels around the console so nothing got scratched or dropped. Shifter probably took about 10 minutes to do. Volume and start stop just pull off or out. Trickiest part was the idrive.

Awesome! Does it just plug into the USB jack?

Mistertmac · 12-24-2021, 06:15 PM

I installed a blend mount and wire tap for power!
It was a bitch finding an accessory wire to tap, I saw the tutorial and didn't feel comfortable pulling the electronics down from the clip attached to the roof, my Escort has an auto off setting, so after 30 minutes of no movement with the GPS, it shuts off power.

chassis · 12-27-2021, 06:34 PM

Software update for the active grille shutters. Call me skeptical on this one.

40k oil change.

Great car so far, only problem has been the crappy active grille shutters.

I ordered and got it today, yes it does. I have not had the opportunity to test it out on a drive or anything.

Finally wrapped my grill. Had my G01 for 2 weeks and all the chrome has been driving me crazy (coming from an X2). Next up is the bottom lip, side vents and running board. I love how the grill came out.

The charger? Plugs right into the USB. I wasn't sure it would fit my 13 pro max so I bought it on Amazon because of the return policy, but fits great.

Looks really nice.

Getting mine tomorrow and that's going to be the first thing I do to it.

Carbon fiber (all one piece) center console. Had to get the one piece so there wasn't different carbon patterns. The piano black was too dirty showed scratches (used car)
