Try changing the Parking assistance volume

I can't move the slider lower than a certain point (about 20-25%) which is still very loud.

Some changes I noticed in 1.5 :

- camera background changes from white during the day to black during the night ( it was black all the time before )
- media control shortcut shows up again when you have google maps maximized or running another app
- locking sound option is still missing
- seat / steering wheel heating is NOT working during preconditioning (tried it this morning with -6C outside, -1.5C in the car reported by the app)

also 100% battery health after 9.000 km / 6 months with a twin motor.

Still waiting in the UK but I think there's more to lose than gain in any case!

Changes I’ve noticed in 1.5:
The heater seems to work better and I’ve been able to reduce the temperature to a more reasonable 22C – but maybe I was just wearing a heavier coat and it hasn’t improved at all. The fan speed still goes up and down. And it’s noisy.
The parking camera/assist button has moved and it’s looks different.
The button to open the boot has gone and you have to faff with the menus to open it from inside.
There is a notification that the rear window wiper has been switched on, but it disappears after a few seconds. A bit pointless really.
The welcome screen is still useless.
There is still no option to add a sound to the door locking.
The seat and steering wheel heaters didn’t come on automatically when I switched the climate on from the app, -1.0C inside the car according to the app. But the update says something about using the timer for preconditioning. I’d rather they didn’t come on anyway, the battery level plumets quickly enough and if you’re not sat in the car what’s the point in having a hot seat?
Overall, it’s a bit different but slightly worse. Why has the button to open the boot been deleted?

Could it be because people have had the boot collide with structures as they weren't physically looking at the space? Thinking car parks etc, and no obstacle detection?

You can still open the boot from inside, it’s just more button presses, and there is a blank space where the original button used to be.
I’d revert to 1.4.2 if it were possible.

The download of update 1.5 reached 89% and stopped. What can be done?
