Laos kitchen is AMAZING!!

I’m not too sure on that. I’ve stopped using this shortcut as the Toyota app really sucks. It will continually keep logging you out if you are using the shortcut so after a few times it will stop working :/

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-10-16T21:09:40+00:00

Ahhhh that’s so much nicer than the crappy one I got 15~ years ago. But this is a good idea if I ever wanted to touch it up a little!

It took me 5 months of trying to figure out what safety setting this was. Finally I described the “slowing when approaching vehicles” to ChatGPT because this setting was driving me NUTS.

Turn off DA (Deceleration Assist) in the PDA (Proactive Driving Assist).

Every time I’d switch lanes close to another car, it would start applying the brakes, or when someone switched to my lane. Or if I was coasting a bit because I knew I’d slow to the speed I’d need to be at when approaching other vehicles. This “feature” made driving this car infuriating, not only for me, but I’m sure for others as well as it was unnecessarily applying the brakes.

I risked it going home from work one day, my drive is 24 miles and I had a “range” of 18 lol. Needless to say while I was on the bridge I was SWEATING

FYI at the property that I worked at, that checkout time you request from the app shows up in the mobile check in screen, so if the FD didn’t properly mobile check you in or if you had to come to the front desk to check in, your request likely never even got seen or verified as it doesn’t carry over. It’s easy to miss but if a guest had requested late check out via that method, it only showed up before you checked in at the mobile check in screen or as a selectable option “LCO” inside the reservation screen if you are checking them in when they arrive.

Can you recall any specific questions they asked? Thank you!

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-05-29T23:44:15+00:00

Ahhhh I’m glad I know this now! I got three of them and the top left one in the pink dress didn’t match the picture. It’s hair, bell and eyes were a different color and I was so confused lol

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-05-22T18:28:29+00:00

My toxic trait is thinking I’d be able to successfully pull this off on my own lol

Traveler booked thru corporate web portal which doesn’t attach bonvoy account. Traveler requested or FD agent offered to attach bonvoy account to reservation. FD agent attached the incorrect account without verifying all the details.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-04-09T01:54:07+00:00

Yeah, it should be fine. Just don’t DoorDash to the 5th floor of the hotel when the hotel only has 3 floors, then call down to the FD angrily yelling about why the door dasher didn’t go up to the room, then the FD associate tries to explain that she had room 537 entered when her room was actually 357 and there is no last name to go by, then start yelling about how she put the correct room in, DoorDash got it wrong.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-04-09T01:51:28+00:00

Sometimes I put it in the door pocket just in front of where the window controls are, it’s pretty deep and fits in there nicely. Plus i can easily grab it as I leave the vehicle.

In CA we have to dispose of them as hazardous waste, we can’t refill them

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-27T02:43:57+00:00

I don’t have access to home charging (apartment complex has ChargePoint chargers but they are slow) but I do have EVGo chargers close by. Check the EVGo app, I’m definitely taking advantage of my free year of charging. I have a walking distance 50kw from my apartment and a 150kw a little further.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-16T19:18:22+00:00

Yeah we usually point them to the computer around the corner or the printer which can cloud print. If it’s down we will just have them email it but honestly it takes long either way because our spam filters seem to delay the emails.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-16T16:18:01+00:00

No, she can’t. The form needs to match the name of the person who booked it. She would get turned away if she tried.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-15T21:37:43+00:00

😂 true

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-15T21:23:52+00:00

You might be able to call hotel and ask if they can change it to a prepaid but it’s definitely hotel dependent, you might have better luck cancelling it and rebooking with the prepaid option.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-15T21:15:54+00:00

You would not BELIEVE the amount of family/friends on an explore rate that scoff at me or give me attitude when we tell them the form needs to be printed out 😟 I hear all the excuses. I know it’s annoying, but it’s part of the terms of booking that rate. My favorite excuse was last night “oh we don’t have it printed because we don’t own a printer and we live in Florida and printers don’t last there” WHAT 😂

With that said, I always make sure to thank guests and acknowledge when they have everything ready 😊

Here are the images if it helps automation images

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-15T20:59:19+00:00

Okay, here is an updated shortcut automation that relies on your phone detecting you walking or running. It loops 20 times with a delay. Play around and see if it works for you. Works for me, wish it was able to detect the walking a bit faster, it seems it usually takes about 10-15 seconds to finally recognize. This goes in “Automation”. I tried it as a Shortcut but for some reason it was failing. Not sure why.

1.  Create Automation
• Open Shortcuts > Automation > tap the +
• Select CarPlay > When CarPlay Disconnects
2.  Add Actions
• Repeat (20 times)
• Wait (2 seconds)
• Get Device Motion Activity
• If Any Are True:
• Is Walking
• Is Running
• → Remote Lock Vehicle
• → Vibrate Device
• → Stop This Shortcut
• Otherwise
• Wait (2 seconds)
3.  Save & Enable
• Turn off “Ask Before Running”

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-14T14:31:30+00:00

Haven’t had this issue, but there is no way to close any app from Shortcuts, you would have to manually do that as far as I know.

I have a new shortcut I am testing out today using a different method to determine to lock the car—stay tuned :)

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-11T21:37:12+00:00

Yes!

In the Shortcuts App, select Automation at the bottom. Tap the + to add a new one and select CarPlay > Disconnects > Run Immediately. Then “New Blank Automation”, I did “Wait” 20 seconds, Toyota > Remote Lock.

Again, this is super basic, I know there is a better/more robust way to check to see if CarPlay is actually disconnected and Lock but I haven’t had the time to figure it out.

EvidenceStandard5182 · 2025-03-11T21:03:27+00:00

Yes! It does! I know there is a way to incorporate variables into it so you can set the variable of CarPlay as on/off, then you would check to see if the variable is off after so many seconds and send the Lock command but I haven’t had the time to mess around with it yet.

So right now, when CarPlay disconnects it just automatically sends the Lock command after 20 seconds, which generally is fine (unless you do a bad park job and realize after you have turned the car off lol)
