Modernizing the Up! for the 2020s (non-performance related)
This is a thread about updates you can do to an Up! to drag it into the 2020s from a car technology perspective.
The Aussie Up!s, whilst having a 5 star safety rating and auto braking was missing out on technology we now consider mandatory. As part of my Up! project, I am delving into some of those tech areas.
List of updates that I consider necessary ....
1. Upgraded lights to LED spec
2. Auto lock/unlock
3. Auto headlights (sadly auto wipers looks very hard to do so its out)
4. Smart radio unit incorporating Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (the single most important modernization modification IMO)
5. RVC
6. Cruise control (yes, some came with this, but it can be retrofitted to those without)
7. Rear parking sensors (yes, some came with this, but it can be retrofitted to those without)
8. Better wheels and tyres (yes, technically a performance mod, but the stock wheels are tiny and really outdated looking)
