Taking my Clubby to Europe
« on: 19 November 2021, 15:49 »
Hi all,

I'm looking to take my Clubby to Rotterdam for a long weekend in early December.   What is the easiest way to adjust settings for the IQ headlights, overtaking on the left, showing speed in Kph, etc.? 

I'll need to read up on what else I need - like number plate stickers, keeping insurance and licence in the car etc (if these are still things you need to do).

Still planning the best route, maybe Eurotunnel or Ferry to France with a drive through Belgium or even a direct ferry to Hook of Holland. 

Any help or advice gratefully received as always.

That sounds way too easy Fred.  I suppose that's how it's supposed to work if the software is playing ball.

I'll let you know how it goes.  I've decided to get the Harwich to Rotterdam ferry due to time constraints so my planned longer European drive will have to wait.

I'm sure it has been easy for you Fred but as we all know, software variations mean everything works on a car by car basis. I just hope my car's software will operate as yours has.
