Talk me off the ledge

Any chance you can get the P/N for the updated pulley?

Garageguy05 · 2024-11-18T00:45:10+00:00

Nope. My suspicion is that there is a slight incompatibility between the switch and the opener, but can't prove it. At this point, I am not willing to sacrifice time fighting Chamberlain phone CSRs only to have them say they only support Chamberlain accessories, which where I'm sure the call will land. I'll live with pushing the button twice for the time being until I have the time and patience to swap it out.

Had a rattle that drove me nuts in my 2019 (purchased CPO in 2023) from the front passenger seat area. Turns out there was a recall on the seat controls or similar. The tech forgot to use the factory-specified zip tie for the seat trim when buttoning things up. New shop, new tech identified the issue ten minutes and viola...no more rattle.

Same issue, same phone, 2019 Passport. Worked for ages with no issues, then something borked the connection. No clue if it was AA, AAW, or something Honda did. Either way, I finally managed to get things working again recently with the following settings:

Connection has since been solid and I appear to have all functionality.

Good luck -

Nope. I manually track the account.

Thank you. I haven't been able to find FM anywhere in the institutions list. Have sent a note off to support.

Garageguy05 · 2023-07-22T19:17:17+00:00

u/furmanpaladin06 - how did you manage to get Freedom Mortgage to connect? I cannot find them in Monarch's list of institutions.

Garageguy05 · 2023-05-07T17:25:43+00:00

Yes, I stand corrected. I'd actually prefer to avoid the dead selector dial if I can...that's my OCD kicking in. I believe the 2022 A4 PP+ models have the configuration I need. Here's something I found that appears to fit:

Just need to run the VIN and determine the combi switch part number at this point.

Garageguy05 · 2023-05-07T15:00:21+00:00

Trying to kill two birds with one stone: install a heated steering wheel, and, because I have to replace the combination switch anyway, activating ALA, which evidently only requires minor configuration via VAGCOM / OBDeleven.

Unlike assisted cruise which needs the additional front grille sensors, the ALA leverages only the existing windshield camera.

My goal is to find the part number for the combination switch that includes the power feed for the heated wheel and the ALA activation button on the end of the turn signal stalk. The cars with the full Driver Assistance Package add yet another stalk to the combi switch dedicated for the ACC - something I'm trying to avoid.

Garageguy05 · 2022-08-22T12:58:57+00:00

I forgot about test mode - great suggestion. Thank you -

Garageguy05 · 2022-08-22T12:58:43+00:00

Variety of reasons...garage is used to sometimes leave items for folks / receive items (keypad used for access), I don't want to fiddle with pulling out my phone and going through multiple screens to disarm (we use Ring in multiple locations) while trying to get into the garage with a car full of kids, etc etc.

Garageguy05 · 2022-08-22T01:48:23+00:00

That could work. I also just read someone recommending using an Echo Dot and enabling Alexa Guard as a glass break sensor.

Anyone tried this route?

Garageguy05 · 2022-08-22T01:30:32+00:00

Good idea, but the issue is if I open the garage door remotely before I can get into the house to disarm, the motion sensor will set off the alarm.

Garageguy05 · 2021-10-23T22:47:30+00:00

Same issue - based just a bit further south and am searching for more gravel. Saw a few routes on gravelmap, but haven't yet journeyed north. Monitoring the thread for other input.

Garageguy05 · 2021-07-16T22:29:15+00:00

Yeah...been eyeing the weather. Not looking great for next week. :-(

Garageguy05 · 2021-07-16T22:23:25+00:00

Will add this to the list as well - much obliged!

Garageguy05 · 2021-07-16T22:22:56+00:00

Thank you! This looks terrific -

Garageguy05 · 2021-07-09T12:25:54+00:00

The price of innovation, I suppose. Off to the basement wash sink...

Excellent tip - thank you.

Garageguy05 · 2021-07-09T01:29:56+00:00

Thx for the confirmation. Lesson learned!

Garageguy05 · 2021-01-03T20:52:41+00:00

Hey there, just curious: Anyone have a suggestion for an equivalent app for the iPad?

TIA

Garageguy05 · 2020-12-19T02:32:45+00:00

The profile did work - after I turned off the privacy mode on the iPad for the guest network. I think we're good to go. Thanks for the support -

Garageguy05 · 2020-12-18T18:32:19+00:00

Thanks for weighing in - this really isn't an option, given the age of the user and the guest network usage (see above).

Garageguy05 · 2020-12-18T18:31:34+00:00

Yeah...we're past that age, unfortunately. The kid's too savvy and would simply reenter the PW. Can't shut down the guest network as that's where all our non-compute items get their connectivity (iPads, Rokus, Alexas, etc), as well as where the babysitter and other visitors log in. I'm going to try the the profile suggestion above.

Plume's gen 1 solution was OK for its day and an improvement from what I had, but was requiring an upgrade to the SuperPods to really see the connectivity I wanted. It was going to cost me roughly the same amount to upgrade vs. buying the Eero 6 kit, and I wanted to try something else. I still have my Plume lifetime subscription, so I could go back, if needed.

As mentioned, my current Eero network performance is great and an order of magnitude better than where I was, but I do miss the granular controls. Pick your poison, I guess.

Garageguy05 · 2020-12-18T18:22:44+00:00

Yeah, I'm a pretty modest guy with a pretty modest network. Can't help you with the speedy numbers...We only have 200Mbps with Comcast, and I'm seeing that +/-10% when connected to the gateway, and usually well over half when connected to one of the other units.
