2026 has worser ADAS intrusion ?

What a complete pain in the @rse.
2023 models rule, so we have cr@p heating, at least we don't have the nanny systems. Heating can be fixed, eventually 🤣
The other impact is to those wanting a digital rearview mirror. Many of us are installing the Wolfbox (or other) digital rearview mirrors for better visibility. I’m glad I have a 2025, as this was a simple swap and install.

Here’s a good video about the impact of the new rear view mirrors in 2026:

There’s a new video from Agile. John testing the 26 black edition and describes it driving a lot smoother on the highway and the ADAS is not as bad as it seems. It’s quite intuitive and there is a hot key to turn off the over speed. There are camera’s inside the mirror monitoring your eyes so definitely not wolf box compatible for now.

I hear all the different bing and bongs. I also can’t imagine together with google maps where it chimes when speed cameras are near by. Honestly me and my wife always sit there asking each other what’s that noise 🤣. ADAS is actually more distracting, I’m not convinced. When I start to nod off at the wheel. My wife slaps me to wake me up. Old school.

The rumble strips wake me up😱
 
If you were that keen to install a Wolfbox in a '26 model I suppose you could mount it in an alternative position like I've seen one or two others have or even as a second mirror somewhere above the windscreen like some driving instructors or old traffic police cars had in the UK. I have not really thought the second option through with regards brackets, free space etc, conflicts with sun visors etc.
