Hello, a sneaky rock managed to destroy both my left front and left rear rims and tyres. What is the damage we are looking for as replacement? Thanks

R-Link Software Issue

Has anyone else seen this in their R5/A290? Around 1/4 times I hop in the car, it’s like the link between the main infotainment screen and the cockpit display disconnects. Instead of seeing Google Maps (or any CarPlay alternative), I just get this loading spinner which doesn’t go away until I get out the car, walk away so it locks and come back and get back in. Local Alpine dealership say they’ve never seen this before and don’t think they can do anything about it!

Any tips or experiences shared much appreciated.

Got a big dog. He’s unlikely to fit in the boot (fine I knew this) but I can drop a seat….has anyone got a recommendation for a cover/way of securing the dog if that’s the option I go for - or other suggestions (and no the dog can’t run alongside!) 🤣

Removed the ‘A290GT’ badging on boot lid today as thought it looked a bit too fussy very pleased with the result only problem was sneaking out and using the wife’s hairdryer without asking and risking a telling off! 🤣👍

I should get my car in a couple of weeks and have bought a private number plate for it (6 characters). I need to get my plates made but not sure whether to go with standard size or a smaller plate to match the 6 characters. I can only go by pictures online because I don't know of a car nearby to measure up.

What do you guys think?

Edit - ordered a standard size plate. Glad I did because I got confirmation that the car is being delivered a week today (13th) !!!!

We got our A290 last week. I can’t seem to work out how to disable the speed camera alerts (not the over speed warning) either in google or in the safety systems. Is this a permanently on thing?

With the decision made to replace my Cupra Born with an A290 GTS+, I now have some other questions.

I have been using ABRP to plan my trips on the Born, and have provided the live data from the car to ABRP via the Tronity app, which doesn’t include Alpine or Renault on it’s list of vehicles it can get live data from.

Is there a way to provide live data from the A290 to ABRP without using an OBD dongle?

I have just ordered my A290 and should have added the boot liner.

Can anyone tell me where I can pick up the OEM boot liner? I'm not buying directly from a dealer. I'm not sure if the ones I'm finding on eBay are OEM?

Does the protection pack include more than this?
