Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi
I picked up my 4S last Friday and wondered if anyone has any thoughts on how to stop water accumulating on the surround camera? I know I can wipe them clean before setting off.
Also how do I find out if I have wireless phone charging? (I can always phone the dealer).
Ordered last June and very happy so far.
Not a lot of extras may be the reason it came relatively quickly.
Front or rear camera ? If its the rear camera you can use the spray jet to clear it, button on the screen when camera view comes on.
Re phone, put inside flap inside centre arm rest (glass facing passenger) and look on screen, should show the charging sign on the screen (on the phone battery indicator)

No worries, other hints I can advise are (and you may knbow all this already!) :
1. Leave phone / carplay alone for first 2 mins, if I touch anything before that my phone doesnt connect to carplay and I have to stop turn off car and turn back on again. Hopefully newer models are better !
2. Electric boot / foot under boot) if you have this feature just makesure you kick under the "C" on the badge and it usually works, assuming you have activated this feature.
3. Tracker is crap .. always thinks my car is being knicked, hopefully mine will be sorted with new batteries
If you get any warning messages on dash ... just turn on and turn off again .. its always worked on mine !!!

Saloon or CT?
On the CT, if I activate the rear wash for the wiper it sprays the camera.
On the Saloon, i believe when the car is put in reverse and you can see the camera selected on the screen, there is another option to activate the washer.
On my CT, the wireless charging doesn't work (i believe it's missing the chip (along with the 2nd key))
Wireless charging: There should be a lable in the center console compartment (shows the phones display orientation for it to charge). Also PCM will tell you that charging has begun...
