It’s just something silly I do to be sure it works EVERY time.
I’m sure it’s just superstitious nonsense - when you get your car you can work it out for yourself

What seems to be a minor quirk?

The little routine of:-
Starting the engine
Unlocking the phone

I don’t think it’s entirely true but others say differently. In my car I use an generic cable - it's a black braided cable, hopefully more robust as it’s always in the car, permanently plugged into the USB socket in the armrest. Also - I start the car, pick up the phone, unlock the phone, plug the c...

It doesn’t come with mats - I had to haggle for mine. It doesn’t have an SD card slot, you can tether to your home WiFi for software or map updates - or have those done annually at service.

Now I have thought about it the headlights in the Juke weren’t tip-top either.
They were improved using some Phillips bulbs IIRC - it’s unfortunate that there’s a need to change the headlights on a new car but "safety first"

Can’t help, sorry, I have the Tekna version with LED headlights. My previous QQ had adequate headlights but I upgraded to Osram night breaker bulbs which improved things (although they came 3rd in an auto express test - https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product-group-tests/76760/best-car-headlight-bulbs...
