The headlights cost £1500 each and the centre light probably costs the same. With any front end impact, you are going to break mounting brackets on the headlight. Instead of buying a new headlight or attempting to glue the old brackets back together, you can buy repair brackets direct from smart.

smart 453 seat belt rattle? - Not on my watch
zhlédnutí 178Před 3 měsíci
I'm far too easily distracted by rattles so I have to work out what they are and stop them. All the 453s I own have this knocking noise. I normally plug the seatbelt into the receiver but the girlfriend always forgets so the belt end flaps about. You can get clips that you push the seat belt tongue into, however, you have to manually plug the seat belt into it. That ain't happening.

@@evilutionltd Magnificent!
I wonder if there are any grubs waiting to hatch from the nest. I don't like wasps. There's a Kiwi guy on youtube who electrocutes them. That can be fun to watch 🙂
Hi Kane, did you get round to figuring if you could switch the headlights to a rhd beam pattern in the end?
No. I don't even know where they are at the moment such is the state of my workshop.
@@evilutionltd No problem, I wish I could find where my written off 453 went that had them fitted as one was broken and would have been easy to sacrifice.
@@gavinjacques Does it have a current MOT?
No, no mot and still on sorn but it did change owners a while after it sold at copart/synetic. GU67FSZ is reg 11/11/23 was when written off. I've watched ebay, gumtree and marketplace but neither it or parts have turned up.
Quality products from China 😂😂😂
Interesting I bought a couple of these too and I guess I'll leave a few comments about how it went for me. Just found the puddle lights again and when I fixed it onto my car I never found a good place for the magnet. Will try your place. Another annoyance was some vibration when playing music
Don't forget Temu and Banggood ;)
Portable EV charger WIFI.... if you want to buy some more sh*t.....
I love your commentary. Keep up the good work
Ooh, lights! 🙂
Also works on Smart Forfour Eq - MANY THANKS!!
It's the same stereo (until the facelift) so, yeah, it'll work.
@@evilutionltdyes I was confirming it - tried just before commenting because my rearview cam was KO. 30 seconds and everything came back to life!
Won't the coating wear off? Very helpful video.
Yeah, eventually it does. They strangely seem to rust less though.
Don't forget to dump the valuable old ev battery into landfill, cos the Internet knows all old ev batteries end up in landfill FACT!!
Obviously it charged itself 100% using coal, set itself on fire and went straight to landfill. I must remember to send an apology card to all the child slaves mining absolutely all of the minerals by hand. 🤣
It's sad that the electric gremlins couldn't be chased from the car. I think 451 ED running gear in to a Locost/GBS chassis would make a great weekend toy.
It's a shame that companies try and lock their EVs down. You'd have to either use every single piece of electronics or start bodging in a piggyback charger, BMS, motor controller etc.
@@evilutionltd In my mind garage (the place where I do all my work these days) I'd be transferring over everything, essentially having a 451 ED in some other clothes for simplicities sake. It is heartening to see the most popular hardware being hacked and cracked, you can pick up open-source motor controllers for popular components such as the Nissan Leaf and Tesla motors as well as aftermarket BMS's designed by enthusiasts. It's getting to the stage where early EV's are becoming viable parts sources for conversions, not just for vehicles but for other transport such as boats and aircraft (the latter being trickier due to regulations).
hi, I have to code the smart 453 eq 2020 triled front lights and LED rear lights. at the moment without coding they work but not correctly (when I activate the fixed high beams the headlights turn off completely) can you guide me? I would be truly grateful.
Yes, it covers all of that.
Do the lifts prevent you from swapping the HV battery in this orientation?
Yes.
You mentioned MB Star for about £300, I need a set up for my 452, gis a clue.
I still haven't tried it myself but do a search for VCX SE for Benz.
That pressie from your mate is awesome. Thanks for your content and your evilution guide. They're the bees knees _ 452 owner !
Hi what’s the part number you changed please
If you mean the part i'm holding at 2:28 with a part number sticker on saying A 453 622 58 00 I'm gonna hazard a guess it's A 453 622 58 00 😂

@@TheMbrist You can email me through the website.
Sorry to abuse the chat, but where do you bleed the clutch master cylinder from on a 453? Thanks for the fun vids
You have to bleed it through the slave cylinder on the side of the gearbox. There's a rubber cap up top where you bleed the old fluid from and you need to attach a pressure filler to the brake fluid expansion tank.
@@evilutionltdAwesome, thanks. Now I’ve read the twingo service doc properly it makes sense ❤❤❤

Hi when the bags deploy why don’t it start Thanks
ever wondered why, maybe, there is no Wireless charging on the 62 PRO, but there is on the S62. What does the S62Pro offers that S62 doesn't...? doing a so high-tech phone and missing to put the wireless charging that was actually on the previous version. naah there might a reason.
The pro had a thermal imaging camera. The S62 wasn't the previous version. It came out 1 year after the Pro. S62 Pro June 2020 S62 - June 2021

You are probably aware of the third party Smart # app. It’s 10 x better than the official hello smart app. “Hello #”

We don't do that around here. It's not exactly an achievement considering how small the channel is 😅
Hi, following your great video i have ordered a one from Aliexpress, please can you confirm that the existing camera of your EV smart that you have worked out the wiring, as your existing camera only 6 volts , i have a petrol fortwo and as mine has a reverse camera as standard, is mine also 6 volts, the plug you sent off to the USA, my question is don't you have to use the plug for all the other connections.
Yes, I used the factory camera. No, that connector sent power and information to the TomTom screen that was removed.
Can i do the same to a toyota yaris clutch actuator? And what are the wires connected to and how? Thanks
If it's an electric clutch actuator, yes, it should work. I have no idea what the connections are.
Great help for the roof change. Thanks
Does the usb socket charge the phone? And is if possible to connect phones by usb?
I got two questions for you: Do the steering wheel controls work with that? Does the usb socket near the handbrake work?
C'mon dude!, these are answered in the video 😂 28:56 - steering wheel buttons 30:46 - USB sockets.
@@evilutionltd sorry I missed that points 😓
@@evilutionltd so its impossible connecting by cable phones to the stereo and also charging it right?
Hi, I have a Smart eq with radio without navigator, is it possible to replace it with this unit? Thank you
No, it's only designed to replace the TomTom R-Link touchscreen.
Commenting for the algorithm, I enjoy the longer vids 👍
I appreciate you playing the game.
The phototransistor at the front (black dot) underreads and my climate control "thinks" the car inside is too cold and thus, heats too much. The potentiometer was replaced and works fine. Any idea on where to get and how to replace the phototransistor?
When you assemble the equipment completely...how does the side look? What does the side look like once assembled?
Looks the same as the original.
gonna bite the bullet and get one of these. it's difficult justifying the ridiculous price but it seems we have no choice. first mission once it's installed, get the USB and SD slot working.
Will this work in an EQ car?
It's fitted to an EQ car in the video.
Would you recommend it after testing it for a few weeks?
It's in a car that I don't use that often so I haven't used it much. Apart from the on-going annoyance of having to manually start up CarPlay every time, it's an excellent unit.
@@evilutionltd cheers. Was thinking of putting one of the pioneer units in but seems I need to buy the housing for the other radio for it to fit. This unit seems like an easier install and has a better look, just a bit wary of it being a noname Chinese unit.
I checked the voice control on the head unit and it works by either using the oem microphone or it has one built into the front bezel.
Better than my rubbish.
Strongly disagree and I think every statistic proves that 😂. I don't think the highly niche and un-family friendly content will help me much but there's no point chasing numbers as I'll only be disappointed. Thankfully I'm not banking on the success of this channel to survive 😁. I do it for me and I'm sure the quality will improve slightly over the years as I get used to it and eventually move away from using iMovie.
To be fair you look like like you could be Techmoan's wayward son 😉

Great video, nice editing. Amazed the way those brazing rods worked. Was there any of the windscreen guus fluid left after quenching 😜
He didn't mark the bottle like my Dad did with his whiskey so windscreen man would never know. It smelled really clean as it boiled.
Interesting video 2x👍 The intro I thought I was watching the French version of top gear.
