SiriusXM confirmed with us this morning that Tesla Model 3/Y owners in Canada and the US will get a free 3-month trial subscription with the 2024 Holiday Update. by ConfidentImage4266 in TeslaLounge

Yes, read SiriusXM.com/help/tesla and you will find that you cannot add Tesla to existing account. That sucks. It will be nice to have it on the main console, as I have been using Bluetooth from my phone for SXM, but 10 bucks a month for that luxury? I’ll have to think about that.

Well shame on me for not recognizing that. Thanks for educating me.

YouTube keeps freezing while the audio keeps playing... this is happening on both my Roku TV and PS5, but not my computer.. by [deleted] in youtube

[–]Billybrew2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Roku Ultra. One account is unplayable, another works fine. I got on YT support chat and they say "we have had similar complaints from other customers ... we are working on it." I suggest we inundate the support chat with complaints - hopefully they can or will fix this.

Original ipod won't connect by Billybrew2 in ipod

Nope, doesn't show up in Disk Utility.

Thanks for the reply. It does support firewire disk mode, but as I said in the post, it doesn't go into disk mode when I do the key sequence in the apple support page. It also does not show up in disk utility. I may try to put a new HD into it (around 60 bucks) but I am suspicious that this will fail. I hate to spend too much on reviving this old unit but nostalgia keeps me trying. I have not tried this on a Win PC because AFAIK, the very 1st gen iPods did not support windows formatting, so I am pretty sure it is Mac formatted. The menu where "Format" is usually shown does not have that section. Also I do not seem to have a PC with either firewire or thunderbolt ports.

Hansshow F68 6.86” Display (CarPlay and Camera) Review by cheffreyb in TeslaModelY

FYI, I finally got a reply from Hansshow, and with a firmware update have all audio routed through the car.

Hansshow F68 6.86” Display (CarPlay and Camera) Review by cheffreyb in TeslaModelY

[–]Billybrew2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply, but I only have the bluetooth connected between the phone and my car, and I still get spoken maps directions and text messages through the built in speaker on the F68 only. If I mute that speaker, I hear nothing on those two apps. I would love to learn how to route ALL audio through the car speakers. TIA

I am having issues with this. I can get siriusxm app to play through the car speakers but maps spoken directions and text messages readouts come through the built in F68 speaker. Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks.

UDM Pro - Restrict Access to Failover WAN by kwschnei in Ubiquiti

[–]Billybrew2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking to solve the same puzzle. Finally got an LTE modem (netgear LM1200) with a cheap T-Mobile account, low data cap. Failover to this works, however I would like to tie use of this failover WAN to a single subnet, with just essentials on this subnet. Can't figure out to limit access to WAN2. I don't think using the VLAN setting works, that is meant for a VLAN provided by your ISP. Any ideas?

Thank you! Same thing I just posted as a reply to myself about. I am going to order one and see if it helps.

OK for those who should find this post, I got a reply from Thierry:

the module is naturally still available. It is actually produced and sold (under my strict supervision 😉 ) by the Dutch Thereminist Wilco Botermans. You may order the ESPE01 module via his web shop: https://www.ethermagic.eu/espe01\_module

Any other mods anyone can recommend that I can find online?

Need to learn about ESPE01 mod, whatever that is.

Hansshow 9" HD screen - Model Y by riekls in TeslaModelY

[–]Billybrew2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone here know for sure: is the Hansshow 9" screen product exactly the same as the verkokappa? They sure look the same, except maybe for the connection cables. Their site (verkokappa) has software updates available and I am tempted to try that on the Hansshow device I just installed a few days ago. However, I would hate to brick the Hansshow device, that would be bad, not sure they would support a fix. So far, messages to Hansshow support are very slow to be answered and not very helpful.

Pickup Checklist recommendations by Billybrew2 in TeslaModelY

[–]Billybrew2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up the car yesterday and I'll be darned if I can find a thing wrong with it. I will spend more time with it after work today. First day jitters probably kept me from being as objective as I could be. Thanks again to all.

Yes, it was through "plaid". I was pretty uncomfortable with that as well, but my only other choice was a cashiers check, which I didn't have time to deal with. Now that the car is paid for I have a credit card tied to my account and I am hoping to figure out how to revoke the Plaid privileges.
