No. The role has been a civilian for a while now.

Certainly, I guess it's more senior lads and lassies driving them anyway as sitting up most of the time.
Better cars then what is coming in anyway.

2.0 Mondeo were sweet to drive.

You'd be surprised the units that are driving them.

Senior ranks all have Tuscons

The radio units have been left in since 2018.

Had this something to do with structural integrity of the dash safety and was brought about by a personal injuries claim to a member (make up your on puns ).

Doesn’t Hyundai want to build in active mobility / ANPR in to the onboard computers anyway?

I'd heard the first part but not the second.

Don't know about ANPR but the phone will link with the on board computer with USB I believe. I don't have access to either

I have an active mobility device...a phone... it does connect to the Hyundai but only as far as android auto. So google maps, Spotify (for nights) and phone calls but the interior car speaker is connected to tetra so can’t speak on calls only listen.. great thinking.

I sent active mobility section an email just enquiring into possibly having a screen mirror Type system. Where as anpr/vehicle checks show on the in car screen. So being able to do anyway with 3rd party anpr screens but they didn’t bite

Must be an issue with your car. Android auto and bluetooth work fine in all of ours.

It depends on the car when it was last updated.

The boss and I shared a car back from the far end of west cork and she had issues with my playlist. She found the live (24 minute with the synthesised whale noises) version of Pink Floyd's Echoes a bit weird. Up to then we had her playlist of mostly culchie music. Songs about baling hay and that kinda nonsense. Music people in Tullamore listen to.
However she soon fell asleep. Job done.

That ZETEC S was treated like a baby, always polished up any time I saw it. Wonder if he's got one of the Vignale ones now?

Yes it was probably the cleanest Garda service vehicle I've ever seen.
