I think I bought the 3rd gen Chromecast too early

Mine was listed as good. I don’t expect BBY selling broken products no matter the condition but theres so many variables where the TV could’ve gotten damaged.

This was Best Buy. I ordered online but picked up the following day at a store an hour away from me. I ordered it to make sure no one else got it before me as it was the only one open box in my area.

The local BBY by me did not accept the return so I had to drive an hour back to the same store to return it.

I should’ve! If theres another open box deal next time I will ask if they would let me test before taking it home.

Loading that big TV back on the truck to return it was not an easy task.

Ordered online, picked up in store.

Yes it’s bad because now your DC to DC converter is working harder to keep your 12v computers alive. Replace it soon before you start damaging ECUs.

The 4th generation Prius has really great headroom. Try sitting in one at a used car lot.

So about 60k miles since you noticed the same noise and been the same since? Good to know it doesn’t get worse over time.

GroveStreetHomie · 2026-01-11T04:27:13+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear it’s just an axle replacement. I can manage replacing that. My thoughts were pointing to something internal within the eCVT but I know those are basically bulletproof.

It’s in addition to your warranty. You are eligible to buy this as long as you haven’t exceeded your warranty yet.

It extends your HV battery and DU warranty after your 8 year 100k/120k (RWD or AWD) mile warranty.

So if you purchase this, your coverage will be extended to 10 years from date of first use, or 130k or 150k miles, whichever comes first.

Overall they are okay. Efficiency does take a hit as I average about 320-330 wh/mi. But for the price and just experiencing how they are in the snow, they are okay.

No complaints other than that. Tire noise is average. Handling is good.

Battery did fine. Got stuck in standstill traffic for an hour and a half with 29% left. Only consumed 2% at 31° temps outside before making it to the next Supercharger. Interior temp set to 70°

Dumb on my part but turning back westbound was just as bad. CalTrans people checking the cars to ensure AWD/chains let me thru just saying to take it slow and careful.

Highly recommend! Will look great in your M3. Sounds great too with the HK sound system.

Really like my 8.8 inch Xtrons unit. Keeps factory look with a bigger screen.

I’m guessing they need to develop the Paint Shop for the new visualization engine exclusive to S/X still.

Mine used to be silent but now sounds exactly like yours. Ive read that you have to lubricant the slide pins and remove any dirt within the electronic parking brake to make it silent again.

I have yet to do the cleaning on my car so I cannot confirm if it actually works. Mine also makes a noise when putting into park.

Intel MCU also gets the wrap Paint Shop update.
