Hey guys, has anyone experienced a frozen screen, like the kind where no matter how many times you try to shut down or restart, it just doesn't respond? 😂 Any solutions?

Has anyone experienced the central control display screen constantly restarting? My 2017 Multivan started having this issue after changing the battery. Any good solutions?

How to connect Bluetooth on Jeep Compass, step-by-step: 1. Turn on the Jeep Compass and ensure that your Bluetooth device is also turned on and discoverable. 2. On the vehicle's infotainment system, navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu. This is usually found under "Settings" or "Phone" options. 3. Select "Add Device" or "Pair New Device" from the Bluetooth menu. 4. On your Bluetooth device (like a smartphone), go to the Bluetooth settings and search for new devices. 5. When you see "Jeep Compass" or a similar name appear in the list of available devices, select it to initiate the pairing process. 6. A confirmation code might appear on both the infotainment screen and your device. Ensure the codes match and confirm the pairing on both the vehicle and your device. 7. Once paired, your device should connect automatically whenever you start the vehicle in the future, as long as Bluetooth is enabled on your device. If you encounter issues, make sure both the vehicle and device have the latest software updates, and try restarting both if necessary.

The loudspeakers in my RDX are making a popping sound and sometimes they fail. Previously, there was an occasional popping sound when starting the car cold, but recently it happens every time I start the car. The car's Bluetooth seems to be working fine, and the screen shows that music is playing, but there's no sound. Sometimes restarting the car fixes it, but sometimes it doesn't. This is happening more frequently now. Has anyone else experienced this? What could be the issue?

Can the startup animation and sound of the MG One be turned off? It's so loud every time that I feel like shutting down. 😅

I had the chance to try out the new Toyota Corolla, the 1.2T Elite version. Honestly, there aren’t many changes in the design compared to the previous generation, but I thought I’d share my thoughts anyway. The engine performance isn’t particularly strong — 116 horsepower on a car this size is just acceptable. But when you push it and let the RPMs climb, it actually feels better than expected. It’s not slow, and it feels lighter than I thought it would. The CVT gearbox is smooth and decent overall, although at low speeds there are some light vibrations and a bit of drag when you lift off the throttle. When you demand sudden acceleration, it takes a little time to reach the higher revs, but it’s not annoying. The suspension handles big bumps well, but you can feel smaller imperfections in the road, especially at lower speeds. On curves and sharp turns, the car holds itself pretty well and stays composed — that was a nice surprise. The steering is great. It’s light at low speeds and firms up nicely as you go faster. The response is smooth and precise, and the brakes are easy to get used to and feel very natural — no issues there. Noise insulation is average. Wind noise is handled well, and the engine isn’t too loud, even at high RPMs — that’s actually better than the hybrid version. But road noise does come through at higher speeds, and ambient noise isolation is just okay. Inside, the design hasn’t changed much — it still feels quite basic. The materials aren’t great; most of the interior is hard plastic. The screen and instrument panel haven’t been upgraded like in the 1.5 or hybrid versions. The infotainment system is slow and outdated — not what you'd expect in a 2024 model. Front seating is fine — you can adjust the driver’s seat to a comfortable low position and the steering wheel aligns well with it. The back seats, however, aren’t great. The space is average, the seatback is a bit upright, and the cushion isn’t very long. The trunk, on the other hand, is decent and handles luggage well. In terms of safety features, you do get useful tools like radar and driving assist, but there’s no rear parking sensor — which is strange. Overall, the car isn’t lacking in features, but the priorities feel a bit off. In the end, this car doesn’t really surprise you — and that might actually be a good thing for people who prefer something reliable and familiar. It’s not futuristic, but if you’re after dependability and ease of use, it could still be a smart choice — especially with how crowded the market is becoming with hybrids and EVs. Ultimately, it depends on your needs and your budget at the time of buying.

Since this is our first family car, we decided to go with a petrol vehicle that’s suitable for both city driving and long trips. After trying out and comparing many cars — Korean, Japanese, and even some Chinese hybrids — we finally chose the 2025 Changan Eado High-Energy Edition. Honestly, the first thing that made me choose it was the design — I really liked how the car looks, and the color matched my personal taste perfectly. The second reason was the engine — the 1.5L turbo is more than enough for highway driving. Even though it's a small engine, it delivers excellent power on the road, and at the same time, it’s fuel-efficient in the city — unlike a 2.0L that would consume more. The third and most important reason was the price — I see it as an excellent deal. I ended up with a good-looking car that’s packed with features. As for daily use, both my wife and I are new drivers, so having 360° cameras was a huge plus — it helped us a lot with parking and narrow roads. Honestly, without them, we wouldn’t have dared to enter many places. The car's performance is solid, acceleration is great, and just a slight push on the gas gets it moving quickly. The space is also impressive — three people can sit comfortably in the back, and the trunk has enough room for travel and groceries when we return from family visits. The smart features are also really helpful — I can use voice commands to control the A/C, start navigation, or play music without taking my hands off the steering wheel. On top of that, the car has a built-in dashcam that records continuously. Just insert a memory card and it overwrites old footage automatically. Exporting videos is easy too. In short, for around AED 70,000, I got a car that meets all my needs and protects me from the heat and the rain. It’s been an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and affordable car.

Since the end of last year, I’ve been keeping an eye on the Mercedes E300. Thankfully, I had been working hard on myself and building my own business, and over time, I was able to establish a solid financial foundation. So I decided it was time to reward myself with a car I love—something that would reflect years of effort, while also offering comfort and luxury for me and my family. In March, when Mercedes brought back their offers, I didn’t hesitate—I went ahead and got the car. The young guy at the dealership was respectful and provided excellent service from start to finish. Thankfully, I was able to choose a special license plate number too, and I was very satisfied! Now that I’ve driven it for 2,000 km, I can confidently say: Engine Performance The 2.0L high-power turbo engine performs excellently—even at high speeds. At low speeds in the beginning, you might feel the gear shifts are a bit hesitant, but after that, everything becomes smooth. I pushed it up to around 170 km/h, and the car was stable, with very minimal cabin noise. Handling I’ve owned more than 7 cars in my life, ranging from small economy cars to luxury SUVs, but the E300L really stands out with its balance and control. Driving it is comfortable, the steering is smooth and precise, and above all, you get a real sense of luxury. Mercedes has a kind of prestige that’s hard to describe—you can almost feel it flowing through the car. After a long day at work, you can’t help but relax and drive with ease and confidence. Ride Experience From my perspective, the car is incredibly comfortable. The front seats come with leg extensions, and the center console with its large screens gives off a high-tech vibe. Add to that the 64-color ambient lighting and the insane quality of the Burmester sound system—it's truly something else. The interior design is elegant, simple, and user-friendly, with no clutter or button overload—a testament to Mercedes’ deep design experience. Even the rear seats now have electric adjustments and a leg rest, making the back-seat experience extremely comfortable.

It’s now been 8 years since I got the car, and I’ve driven it for 230,000 km—and not once has it let me down. No breakdowns, no issues. It’s never even been to the dealership; all the maintenance was done at local workshops—just oil changes and basic stuff. On top of that, the yearly expenses—insurance, fuel, maintenance—have always been reasonable. I was planning to replace it in 2022, but some things happened at home—I spent a year and a half unemployed. During that time, I started driving for Uber with it. Then in 2024, I went back to my regular job. And since the car was still running great, I decided to stick with it—it still does the job. Of course, don’t expect high performance or speed—if you fill it up with passengers, it struggles a bit. But that’s not what it was built for anyway. It’s a car that simply gets you from point A to point B, without worries, and without draining your wallet. It’s extremely economical, not luxurious—but it gives you peace of mind. And honestly, in times like these, that’s what really matters.
