Thanks for the video! I just completed this installation here in the USA. The upper cover required the removal of two screws but other than that, the process was identical. I also had to find a very small Allen wrench but with that and the Torx, it was all very easy! Thanks, again. This upgrade is very nice, BTW. Very handy!

Do you still get the “turn on headlights” alert when in auto after you shut the car off??

[@brucieg69]

Thanks. Just done the install myself, very easy, the fiddliest part was refitting the steering wheel cover!
Any idea where to get the auto wipers coded in in the UK, preferably around the midlands?

Followed this video and now I don’t have a horn and my high beams don’t work. What did I mess up? 🤦‍♂️

Bonjour j’ai les LED qui fonction plus sur les 2 phare du jour au lendemain d’où sa pourrais venir ?? Merci à toi pour la vidéo

[@gielle3503]

which screwdriver do you recommend to use?
is there a screwdriver that is good for all jobs on the smart 453?
Thx

I’ve been working with Smart cars in one form or another since 1999 and my go to set has always been the Draper Reversible Blade Screwdriver Set (11 Piece, Giving 20 Tip Sizes) Draper part number: 64672. It perfect for any Smart.

[@Eric-Marsh]

I replaced the stalk and yes the automatic lights work. I wonder if there's a similar fix for the windshield wipers.

[@grandcalifornia8410]

There is yes

[@mczeljk]

Don’t you need to code the car, too? For the automated headlights? And I think the new stock has a switch for fog lights too! Whereas the old stock didn’t, right?

[@stanfoyle8453]

Is there a way to do this on a 2015 Ford Fiesta ZETEC?

[@tachihtung]

How do I check there is a sensor on my windscreen?

[@AdvancedInCarTechnologies]

We have never seen a 453 that didn't have the sensor.

[@jamiem8298]

Can you do auto wipers ?

[@AdvancedInCarTechnologies]

[@ntdnr1JeanClaud]
