Hullo! Our Zoe 40 suddenly decided that there was “No GPS signal”. I had it booked in at a dealership, and then found your excellent video on the R-Link misbehaving randomly (no image from reversing camera etc) and needing a re-boot. Out with the fuse, back in, all fixed. Excellent! Thank you very much - I have subscribed! Keep up the good work.
Hello Nicolas,. I have just bought a Zoe, March 2016 registered. It does have a pedestrian warning button but it doesn't work! The red light comes on when you switch it on, no noise, and when its off there is still no noise. Holding it down for a bit makes no difference - when driving it makes no noise and I particularly wanted a car that gives a pedestrian warning sound at low speeds. I have checked the fuse box but its nothing like the fuse box on the Renault sight and I can't tell which it might be. I don't want to take it back to the dealer without an inkling of what the problem might be? Thanks.
that button that does 6 different sounds to warn passengers - does the fake engine sound change the faster the zoe goes .. and if not why not? it could emulate a proper ICE engine then. and I think I read the noises only come on after 15mph speed is that right? - why not even when standing still not a sweet sounding purr of a nicely tuned ICE engine even?
I've already done! I order my Zoe 40 and receiving on monday. Now I am trying to squeeze all the possible info but there are so few, even forums about Zoe useless! Instead of making super cool productions, you are actually giving some real info for people, thats what I like about your channel.
Aww thanks that means so much, let me know what you think of the ze40 on Monday, have you joined rzoc on Facebook there a very helpful zoe owners group
Nick is there a way of shutting off the Speedo display when stationary and car switched off? I needed to stop for a nap while driving at night recently and the display stayed on for ages lighting the inside of the car up.
@@NicolasRaimo no I wasn't charging - I already have it set so the display is off during charging as kept having passers by telling my car was 'on' 😂. Maybe if I open the door so the steering locks then lock the car from inside it might go off. I didn't try that.
That was helpful, thanks. I like the second indicator sound! The one i drove didn't have different engine noises as nothing happened when i pressed the button and the light didn't go on. Boo. :(
Possibly. It's a Co-Wheels Car Club car so i'm not sure if someone has fiddled with it to prevent it making a sound. I've driven a few different ones from Co-Wheels and they've all been the same.
How much does R-Link cost? My brother wouldn’t use it on his Zoe because Renault wanted money for it. He and I are both retired and can’t afford to make too many regular payments.
@@TheBeggFamily the APP had a yearly membership but Rlink is the satnav also if you ask renault CS nicely there give you app for free but the APP isn't needed for Rlink to work
I was wondering in your view can the zoe be my main car - most people I have spoken to have described it as an entry-level to the ev world and a second car for ? I am concerned with its quality build and noise when charging? Love your vlogs. And congratulations on your recent marriage!
It’s our only car :) so yes easy to have as your main car, the noise isn’t noticed when your not near the car and the chademo DC chargers make a noise. Thanks for your kind words hope your subscribed :)
I really wanted to be able to hack the fake engine noise to that of the W.O.P.R. from WarGames (www.soundboard.com/handler/DownLoadTrack.ashx?cliptitle=WOPR&filename=mz/MzY2MjI4MTEzMzY2Mjkw_8Qe6V_2f16I0A.MP3) obviously without the human voices.
Oh, so you're talking about the "warning sounds for pedestrians", my bad than :). I wasn't watching the whole video, just the part where you said "engine sound on/off" and i thought its just a ridiculous feature for people who want a fake exhaust sound in an electric car. Cheers. PS: Btw, Zoe was on my car list but the price was just too much for me. (here is 35k Euro), but in 5 years ill definitely go for an electric car.
have a look at the 2nd market or discuss with dealer what price you can get from them, as i've seen better Euro prices than that, if you subscribe to me i do other EV videos soon ill be doing the BMW i8!
many 2nd cars are missing manuals and books and many people learn visually. Also the vast amount of people don't own a zoe yet and are just interested in learning more.

@@NicolasRaimo July!
Zoe sat nav tom-tom can you add your own speed camera sounds from pocket gps world..?..thanks
I have a problem with the heating system. The hot air only works when the weather is cold, 8 degrees. !!! I don't know what to do.

Anne it should still be under warranty pop into local dealer

You said you can warm your zoe up via an app whats the app name?
My Renault... there’s a video called 4 pre heats of winter on my channel showing all the ways you can heat it
keep up the good work!

Im thinking about refitting a coolant heaterpump instead of the standard coolant pump.
Do the indicator 'sounds' play out of the car's main speakers or is there a special one for indicators and pedestrian warning noise?
Ped noise is played externally with its own speaker, not sure regarding the indicator i'd assume its its own little speaker why do you ask?
Nick is there a way of shutting off the Speedo display when stationary and car switched off? I needed to stop for a nap while driving at night recently and the display stayed on for ages lighting the inside of the car up.
Guessing you were charging? Options in the Rlink menu (sat nav)
@@NicolasRaimo no I wasn't charging - I already have it set so the display is off during charging as kept having passers by telling my car was 'on' 😂. Maybe if I open the door so the steering locks then lock the car from inside it might go off. I didn't try that.
@@jonmcintosh8653 the dash should power down after 15 minutes
My display doesn't change when I press the display button. Does anyone know of any way to get more displays or sounds?
keep pressing it, either that or button broke
Is there any way to make this car faster
buy the 110bhp version
I buy new renoult zoe 2015
I want trun on sound in my car. I connect my phone but i play music. But is no sound. Even no radio. How i on sound
Are you turning the sound on using the right button on the radio? Have you selected the correct source from where to play the music from
We have a timer issue, plug up and set the timer for 0030 to 0430 but it fails to charge ....any idea’s ?
Set via the app not the car ;)
Nicolas Raimo did that but still not working
Ok does preheat on app work? If it goes factory reset unit leave it 24 hours then set via the app again
Nicolas Raimo we will that a try and let you know the outcome, I take it reset is simple
That was helpful, thanks. I like the second indicator sound! The one i drove didn't have different engine noises as nothing happened when i pressed the button and the light didn't go on. Boo. :(
If it was a zoe it will have the feature to change the noise :) unless someone’s disbanded it by pulling fuse...?
Ps plus subscribe
Possibly. It's a Co-Wheels Car Club car so i'm not sure if someone has fiddled with it to prevent it making a sound. I've driven a few different ones from Co-Wheels and they've all been the same.
hmmm how very odd, did it have ANY noise? if it does then put down window and hold button down you should hear it change while stopped.
Thanks, i'll give that a try next time i hire one.
How is the battery temperature controlled in the Zoe?
Please subscribe to the channel, we may move on to more technical details of the Zoe further into the series, in brief its fans, but way more complex.
Nicolas Raimo I am alreadysubscribed
Pssst New ZE40 has a heater
Is the speedometer number calculated from the wheels or from GPS? I have looked for this information but not found it.
Always by wheels
Hi, do you have apple CarPlay?
Not in a zoe sorry they have android auto

Rlink is free always works
Nicolas Raimo When my brother bought his 22kWH Zoe when they first came out, he had to pay Renault to use the app!
@@TheBeggFamily the APP had a yearly membership but Rlink is the satnav also if you ask renault CS nicely there give you app for free but the APP isn't needed for Rlink to work
@@NicolasRaimo So what is the app that my brother paid for? He said it was the one that scheduled preheat and charging.
@@TheBeggFamily The app did preheating via your phone however you could preheat via the key or setting it in the Rlink
Mum said you had a TH-cam channel! This is not what I was expecting
haha, make sure you click subscribe, what were you expecting?
Nicolas Raimo No idea what I was expecting, but I really don’t think I need to see anymore 🙂

fake engine noise in EVs just tragic then i saw 695 biposto and yay thats real engine sound.
Push it and u will find out :D
Why would you want a fake engine sound on an electric car ? People pls wake up !
its so you don't run people over, its going to be of EU law that they must make a noise to warn people

just read the manual...
many 2nd cars are missing manuals and books and many people learn visually. Also the vast amount of people don't own a zoe yet and are just interested in learning more.
