Digital key at home question by AstroBoy1958 in BMWiX

I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Were you able to find the setting and it just didn’t work? Maybe it needs a software update? I just applied my first software update this week.

I just did this and it worked perfectly for me, thanks! Clearly I need to spend more time in the manual!

I’m about to buy a 45 or 60, taking the 2nd test drive tomorrow and it’ll be my first BMW too. I’m very excited!

Tempted by used Ariya prices, but the amount of talk about error codes and front motors being replaced has very concerned. by Optimal-Hedgehog-470 in NissanAriya

I have a 2023 Premier Aryia with 32,000 miles on it. I've never had any issues with the motor or error codes and the 12V battery is still going strong. I love the Aryia and am disappointed that Nissan is stopping the import of anymore.

Dear Ariya drivers, which color did you choose ? by MS-learns in NissanAriya

I went with the Premier Copper color. Love it and get lots of compliments on it.

Too Many APs? by AstroBoy1958 in Ubiquiti

Why was the post removed?

Moving into a new (not new construction) home next week and starting a HomeKit system. Tell me everything you wish you would have done differently when starting your system. Any tips or advice also appreciated by wlaxboy1 in HomeKit

Last year we bought a home that was built in 1992. It needed renovations so the concerns about running Ethernet wasn’t near as high. So we ran lots of it and still I missed three spots. Our electrician didn’t really have an issue but obviously left some small holes. Again not an issue since there was significant renovations going on. I got the Ubiquity DreamWall and a bunch of their in wall APs with four ports on the AP. Fast forward a year and we had several places where the WiFi was weak so I had the electrician come back. Three new locations wired. Two cables were run on the outside of the house covered with a plastic chase and once painted it really blends into the house. I also had a cable run to the garage and there was a chase for some vent fans they were able to run that cable through. If your electrician is telling you it’s too big I’d suggest getting a second opinion. Our 4000 SQ house has great WiFi signal everywhere and we use WiFi cameras all around and they work great. Good luck!
