The display in my 2017 Haval H6 Lux keeps showing HDC fault followed by Park Assist Fault and then Electric HB fault. Then I hear clicks through the radio system when switching off. And, if you put the window up after turning the engine off, the window goes up and then back down.

My 2019 Toyota LandCruiser VX head unit is blanking out. After I shut down the car and restart it clears. It sometimes also flickers. Have there been any Toyota recalls with regards to this or is it a common fault?

The radio in my 2015 Hyundai ix35 has lost all sound. Is this a common problem? The dealer says it needs new system at $480.

Does my 2022 Toyota Kluger GX have Android Auto? I have tried multiple times.

Driving my 2023 GWM Tank 300 hybrid when all sound went off from the stereo, then came back on at full volume, screaming static. None of the controls for volume or mute would work. This cut in and out until we pulled over after five minutes and turned the car off. It still continued to scream until the auxiliary power shut off after 30 seconds. Any idea what is going on?

I've test driven four Mazda CX-3s (long story) and none of them have been able to connect to my phone via Android Auto. I have the app, my operating system is acceptable, and I had an IT specialist and two sales consultants trying yesterday.

Every other car has connected immediately (Kia Stonic, VW T-Roc, Skoda Kamiq, Hyundai Kona). Can you please advise an alternative to the CX-3 that's around $30K, the same size and with the same engine size and same level of power on the freeway.

Also, I love the T-Roc but am very concerned about parts availability and expense. My own mechanic told me to steer clear of them.
