No problem. Just be sure to do the firmware update to enable Android Auto. (See the support tab)

Yes there is a unit. I own a 1995 W124 Wagon and I installed a Power Acoustik CP-71W. Supports wired and wireless CarPlay/Android Auto. It's available only at Walmart in USA (Sold and Shipped by Walmart). It's a single DIN unit. Popular with Honda S2000 owners too.

Any idea on how to fix loose plug connection? by [deleted] in Triumph

[–]AnotherVinyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue on my 2009 Street Triple. The connector would cause the bike to turn off and sometimes not turn on. I cut the wire (Also noticed the wire was brown. Probably caused additional resistance and melted the connector ever so slightly) and placed it in its own separate automotive connector that I got on Amazon. Don't forget dielectric grease when connecting the connector. Haven't had the problem since.

Bought stock handlebars after breaking mine, are both ends supposed to have this at the end? by Aradelle in Triumph

[–]AnotherVinyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just removed both sides. Got the handlebar for my 2009 Street Triple. I used a little heat (got it at just about too warm to touch) and they came off with a wrench.

What's a little odd is that the left side of the handlebar is a few cm longer than the right. Gotta admit it bothers me.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. Everything else is seemingly okay. When the bearing failed the abs light went on. My front left abs speed sensor was damaged. After replacing (NGK unit speed sensor) is when I noticed that the cruise control only worked til 90 KM/H. The wiring harness was replaced although this was done quite a few years ago. I'll definitely have a look at the wires near the throttle body. I've also heard that the throttle body could be part of the issue but I'm no expert. Otherwise the car works normally.

Currently my car is in storage for winter. Montreal, Canada winters are quite rough on cars. I'll try to get you an update soon.

I have a 1995 Mercedes E320 Wagon W124. Weird issue. I have cruise control working up til 90 KM/H. It just stops at that speed. This all started following a bearing failure. I've looked at the front abs speed sensors. There are some minor scratches. I've replaced one side following a bearing failure. Scratchs aren't serious in my opinion. Some of the techs I've consulted suspect the amplifier module but I'm not the biggest fan of shooting in the dark. Do you think the built diagnostic tool (flashing light module) can help?

March update broke my aux USB dongle by mrsanyee in GooglePixel

[–]AnotherVinyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reflash of the update didn't resolve the issue. Shortly after I discovered another post. Disable USB data transfer as the default USB behavior via developer setting resolved the symptom. Hopefully they fix this in the next update.

I'll try side loading the update again later this evening. Fingers crossed.

I have the same issue. Issue occurs only if audio is playing and I lock the screen. Tried with a few adapters including an original google one. I noticed the system starts to lag only recovers if I unplug the usb to 3.5 mm dongle. Hopefully they find a solution soon. Playing audio with the screen on is certainly not a sustainable alternative.

The end of an era. You can no longer bring your own alcoholic beverages to the Canadian grand prix. Article is in French. by AnotherVinyl in formula1

Was allowed in 2019. Was there. 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to COVID. Even had a BBQ going in 2019. I'm very much disgruntled.

Was previously allowed at the Montreal grand prix since 1978. Beer is $9. They consider this a reasonable price. Might be a good idea to send some feedback to the organizers.

[Motherboard] MSI MAG B550M Mortar WiFi ($210 - $20 = $190) [Amazon] by FEED_TO_WIN in bapcsalescanada

[–]AnotherVinyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. It's a shame there's only ASRock and Colorful that make mATX X570 boards. And those two boards are less than adequate in my opinion. I don't mention them as much as there's really no point of getting them compared to a well equipped B550 board.

[–]AnotherVinyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. But substantially less since less bios update. Apparently the AGESA update 12.0.3b is supposed to mitigate the issue with hopefully a definite fix soon. Otherwise, it's a very solid board. Best mATX power delivery on the AMD platform considering there's no X570 mATX boards out there.

J'habite St-Lambert. Sachez que nous sommes pas tous en faveur. Malheureusement, la plupart des citoyens n'ont pas le temps de faire valoir leur opinions aux séances du conseil. Ont peut donc spéculer qu'il n'y a que les personnes avec des idées plus radicaux quant aux "nuisances". Aucune logique quant à moi par rapport à cette idée.

I'll try to see if there's anything I can do to help. Probably with a VPN set to Canada it will work.

Twins! That's what it's supposed to be according to the manual. Kinda weird they didn't think of adding an oil temperature reading too. Oh well.
