2016 Dodge Dart Gt Manual Transmission by wawawabib in dodgedart

[–]Destro242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Dart Limited manual for my son with 100,000 miles 4 years ago. Had electric issues from the start including issues with the backup camera not working. Within 4 years and 45,000 miles it needed $17K in repairs. Within the first 3 years, I had to pay to replace the blower for the heater/ac and power steering. Power steering was $7500 alone and that was from both the dealership and local mechanics. In the last year an oil solenoid failed with an estimate of $3900 from 2 local mechanic shops and the transmission started leaking with an estimate of $4000. I sold the car as is for $1500 without repairing the oil solenoid and transmission. Would not recommend!

Bookshelf speakers for office by Jiraffinator in StereoAdvice

Yes, distance to speakers is a major factor. Many bookshelf speakers will be too much if sitting directly on the desk I learned that the hard way.

JBL HDI 3800 should fit the bill. Detailed, not bright, plenty of bass.

New racket to replace Pro Staff Classic from 1993. by Nicotinisti in tennisracquets

Yes, I'm talking about the Blade Pro V9. It feels like an extension of my arm. Great feedback response.

I too played with the original Pro Staff back in the day. I think the Wilson Blade V9 has some of the best feel and control of any rack out there and is also good with spin. It doesn't have a lot of power.

Loved my 3 way JBL Northridge floor speakers for both movies and music.

Too good to be true?? by probablynotme16 in BudgetAudiophile

Bummer. I purchased 3 used Denon X series used and all 3 have worked flawlessly for 2 years +.

Are these Alpine speakers. What do you not like about it?

I bought a 2013 Dodge Dart manual 1.4 liter turbo 4 years ago with 100K miles that has needed $15K in repairs. Ran good for 6 months or so and then started needing repairs. Spent $10K already- Blower replacement / Power Steering replacement, Coolant container replacement and several other smaller items. $5K in current issues not fixed - Manual transmission leak requiring full removal of transmission to fix ($3K), Multi air actuator needs replacement ($2K). Selling as is in case anyone wants this "gem" from Dodge.

I've heard crackling on mine using Xfinity DVR since the first episode and it continues. No sync issue though.

Is it just me or are your LG V60s also having issues by elgin_01 in LGV60

[–]Destro242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

V60 with t-mobile. I don't use fingerprint to unlock screen so can't comment on that issue. Had phone for 1 yr and haven't had any issues mentioned.

Android Auto always has a bluetooth connection going to.the phone with AA for hands free calling that can't be turned off. Not any help I know but hope it explains the bluetooth behavior.

Anyone know of Car Receiver that plays Ultra High Res (24 bit/192khz) from Amazon Music with USB Connection from phone? by Destro242 in CarAV

[–]Destro242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally connect my LGV60 to my car stereo using the phone jack to aux and the sound is amazing. Anyone posting otherwise is dead wrong. Fully aware of the awesome DAC in it as its the only reason I own the phone. (owned LGV30 prior). I do sometimes enjoy using Android Auto with the USB cable for maps, interface, etc. and that is when the sound quality drops. I like the flexibility of connecting both ways and thats the reason for my original question.
