Hi everyone.

I’ve noticed that whenever my iPhone is connected to CarPlay, the phone’s screen doesn’t wake up when I receive notifications.

This happens with iMessage, WhatsApp, and basically any other notification. The notification may appear through CarPlay, but the iPhone screen itself stays off.
I’d actually prefer the iPhone screen to wake up normally when a notification arrives, even while CarPlay is connected (also because if I’m on native Google Maps from the ex30, the CarPlay doesn’t show me any notifications).

Does anyone know if there’s a setting to change this behavior? Or is this something iOS automatically disables whenever CarPlay is active?
I’ve checked the notification settings but haven’t found anything that seems to control this specifically.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
What’s the best way you’ve found to keep the windshield clear from fogging up in the EX30?

I know there’s the Max Defrost/Defog button, but it seems to blow quite warm air, so keeping it on continuously during summer isn’t really practical.
So what do you normally do?

Do you use Max Defog just to clear the windshield and then switch back to regular climate control? If so, what settings do you use afterwards to prevent it from fogging up again — AC on, Auto mode, recirculation off, specific temperature/fan settings?

I’m basically looking for the best “set it and forget it” setup to keep the windshield clear without having hot air blowing into the cabin.

Thanks!

Is it normal to hear a very noticeable wind (I think) noise inside the car when driving on highway? Even the music turns out to be kind of hard to hear clearly…

Let’s create a list of what we love in the ex30?

I’ll start:

- exterior design!

~19kwh/100km city driving and ~21kwh/100km in highway.

I tried this with 2 different SMER ex30 (2025 & 2026).

Am I doing something wrong, or do I have a heavy foot (I’m not driving fast…)?
