I remember back then on vw forum, on of the way to prolong the dct, clutch, mechatronic is by selecting manual mode to D2 when stop & go situation.

Believe all new dct on vw already set up to skip D1 now on most cases. Since 1.8T is based on vw engine, doubt the Geely dct also copy paste of vw dsg

for ur infor DCT geely is not from VW , THE 7-speed DCT 7DCT330 geely is own geely design, do not mislead ppl

To those flagship owners wta do your use the auto parking feature a lot? Heard its very slow??

Nope, I bought flagship for its
1. L2 autonomous driving
2. Precollision warning
3. Blindspot Monitor
4. Direct Injection Engine

same with me, maybe just once a while on empty parking lot use it just to make sure its working

Said doubt. Since their 1.8T engine is based on vw gen 2 engine.

Is there a reason why you guys don't use it?
What would your advice be for someone buying it for the main reason it can autopark?

i can park much faster than auto park; and the tail is quite short, super easy

i havent even tried the auto park feature yet

Hi there,
I'm a big fan of autonomous tech and L2 autonomous driving was why I bought it over anything in the price range; but the autopark doesn't cut it. I have even tried it on higher end imported cars and it's mostly a hit and miss. For my X50, I feel its about 20%-30% success rate (anecdotally).

This is because it works 1) only when between 2 cars (i.e. doesn't work in empty parking garage), 2) most of the time it doesn't detect the lot fast enough and you have to drive quite a bit in front of the lot before the prompt comes up, 3) when attempting to autopark, sometimes it tries to park at a non-existent lot (e.g. between two poles/columns), or may give up in the middle of the autopark and ask you to take over.

So from this, the X50 reviewers are correct in that it's not very useful yet.

I would say this: if you are very patient and want the autopark to work, it probably will. If you prefer to park faster, then you will probably manual override. Would recommending testing in a showroom to find out.

Good luck

Anyone find out how to avoid the "clunk" noise when autohold takes over or the X50 auto brakes during ICC? It's quite obvious and jarring.. wondering if can put some sort of foam or tape to make it quiet..

Wont really work as someone explain earlier it doesnt detect parking line but detect space between 2 cars instead.

I wont use autopark because of

1. Slow
2. Parking space must been between 2 car
3. If either car senget, the X50 will park senget as well (not following parking lines)
4. Nerve wrecking, moving the car till the sensor give long beeps/too close to other car or object

Thank you for taking time to reply me.
Your comment help me to decide what to do next..

Wait until the technology is matured more. The x50 autopark is a gimmick, it is not really working yet.

Hi guys sorry to bother your again but would like to find out 1 more thing, is the 360 camera a useful must have tool for your x50?

Oh yes!!!!!!! 1 billion times more useful than autoparking, it really makes parking much much easier. And the 360 camera works excellent.

I can't imagine living in a world without 360 camera now. All my future cars MUST have 360 camera; don't need autoparking but need 360.

I had old accord with only rear camera and side lanewatch. But after the 360 camera, wife also not really want to drive cars without that camera

F YES!
My next car must have 360!
VERY VERY USEFUL!

Will hardwired dashcam affect the warranty?

By the way, got the quotation below

Reasonable to go ahead?

Hi all, just to check when I test drive I notice the 360 camera video doesn't seem high res. Can we change the camera to higher res? Not sure if anyone have done it.
