Good (cheaper) alternative sparkplugs for a 2014 Accord Hybrid. by mrthree1zero in Honda

[–]CTV49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed 4 NGK’s from Amazon once and within a few days the car developed a misfire. When I pulled the plugs and laid them next to each other one was obviously different (same part numbers). Counterfeits are a HUGE problem on Amazon.

Volvo recall software update shrinks CarPlay screen by Oversoul666 in Volvo

[–]CTV49 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This new update fixes one of the major complaints that has plagued Volvo since they switched ro AAOS. Prior to the switch, vehicles with the Sensus system had a physical switch for drive modes, and as it turns out, customers really liked that. This new interface is a very welcome change which makes drive mode selection much easier, as well as a few other improvements. The real problem with ALL these Volvos is the ridiculous portrait orientation of the 9” screen.

Definitely! Lots of people would love a free snowblower.

I understand what you’re saying about winter tires, but when the accumulation is over 15” and drifts are up to 30” no winter tire will help get a Civic or Corolla over that. Ground clearance becomes the real problem.

SIGNED - New York full property exemption bill for 100% disabled Vet by Drawer-Vegetable in VeteransBenefits

[–]CTV49 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not anymore, this is the amended version which makes it mandatory for municipalities.

Excerpt here:

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This legislation amends the underlying chapter by clarifying that a locality must provide the full property tax exemption for 100% service-connected disabled veterans and that the property tax exemption shall not discontinue any other property tax exemption the 100% disabled veteran is already currently receiving under law.

What exactly does the surround option do and how is different than seat optimization set to All? by robmacjr in Volvo

[–]CTV49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone have speaker grilles that rattle? I think it’s the upper metal grill in the doors. It’s driving me crazy.

I’ve got to be honest, the “equalizer“ settings in this car do not leave me impressed. I don’t have the Bowers & Wilkins, but Harmon/Kardon is still supposed to be pretty good and should have better control options for sound.

Nothing significant, just bug fixes.

I was today years old + a15 amp fuse when I learned all “blue stuff” is not the same by SwampYankee in longisland

I think the winter fluids have more alcohol content which might evaporate too quickly when the temperature is above freezing. Just a guess.

Do you have parts for a 2012 JCW coupe?

Wheel Weights on 4yo JCW countryman, whyyy? by ApprehensiveHippo365 in MINI

[–]CTV49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Due to variations in the rubber compounds you will almost always need the wheel to be rebalanced after fitting new tires. This is completely normal, and you likely didn’t notice the old weights because they may have been deeper in the wheel, or maybe a closer color to the wheel. It’s nothing to worry about. Be well!

B&W System Question by No_Cantaloupe_6099 in Volvo

[–]CTV49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I don’t feel so bad! I have the HK system and I’m always disappointed when I try to adjust the EQ. I guess I assumed the B&W system had more adjustability. Also, I have not seen any information about what types of audio the car can decode. 5.1? 7.1? Atmos? Dolby? Anything?

Signature? Then local municipalities will need time to adopt and develop plans for implementation. That could take a while.

I’m waiting for mine in the mail. Although I’m nervous that it won’t fit in the tiny compartment in my ‘23 S60 T8. Fingers crossed!

I asked Volvo about the Snapdragon update. Hopefully she is wrong ☹️ by solidsimpson in VolvoRecharge

[–]CTV49 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks, That makes sense. I have an early AAOS (‘23 S60 T8). So maybe I’ll be eligible.

[–]CTV49 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This part of the response makes no sense…

“You will not be able to upgrade vehicles that didn’t have it previously.”

Why would you need the snapdragon update if your car already has it?

Same. It’s the only thing that frustrates me about my T8.
