Battery in Akrapovic remote control
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Couldn't be happier with the sound, look and the ability to switch between civilised (white) and loud (red) mode. I also notice that with the miles piling up, the sound gets even better ( read: deeper and richer) I have one little issue: The battery in my remote control is already dead so I have to leave it in the socket if I want to use it. Not a big deal but it was nice to stun people who were standing around the car. Being able to alter the sound while not being in it was pretty cool. Only 3 months on 1 battery seems too short? |

Mine was dead after 3 months too - it isn't using the most economical wireless tech - I'm guessing it is constantly draining the battery even when you're not using it. The best would have been a tiny rechargeable NiMH battery that charges when in the socket...
Wanna upgrade our remotes Akrapovic? Quote:

I leave it where it belongs: plugged into the power socket. Never any issue, always "at arms length" and without risk of forgetting, damaging or losing it (except if stolen - but it's a useless device without the Akra and cables).

Actually I leave it in the power socket too. I just wonder why Akra bother to offer us a remote control if it only lasts 3 months? As Sheil said: If they would offer a battery that recharges when it's in the socket... |
