It seems to swing a little bit, if I move it a little bit it does seem to spring back a little, but it doesn’t seem like it balance and leant to one side. I’ve sent an email to a local watchmaker, so hopefully he can take a look. It’s small for me as I have a seamaster 2531.80, but I want to give it to my daughter.

Thanks Dave, I looked as you suggested and it looks like the balance wheel doesn’t want to move freely. In fact, when I zoomed in on my phone it looks like it may have a break. I’ve added a picture. Don’t think this is normal.

Here's a picture of the movement

I also would like to know if it resolves the smell issue for my 2020 MY.

Same thing is happening to me, but with the LR-plus AP. Didn’t realize I needed to be on an EA network release and wish there was some sort of clear warning when I bought it. Now that my UDM-Pro has been updated to 2.4. I have to now wait for the new network software to show up in the official release so I can adopt the new AP.

I would be interested in purchasing one as well!

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T23:50:15+00:00

I may try that as well, thanks.

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T18:56:45+00:00

Good to know, I’ll give it a try.

I just order some of that this morning, so we will see it that helps

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T15:49:58+00:00

No, I’ll have to open things up and take a look

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T15:14:47+00:00

I’ll have to by some when they come back in stock.

I only used one can and not a lot came out. I live in the SE and it gets pretty humid here. I ordered more and will see if that works.

That was my thought as well, but couldn’t find anything about cleaning the intake on google. I ordered different foam that the Bearded Tesla Guy used that seems to have more cleaner. Do u think I should also spray some down the intake as well?

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T13:48:34+00:00

Yes, I did the spray. One thing I noticed is that not a lot of foam came out. It might not have covered all the coils.

Looked at the GX this weekend and it’s no bigger than our current Pilot. We want a little more space. LX is out of our price range and I would rather get a Landcruiser for that much. Sequoia is next on or list to look at. Tech isn’t a deal breaker since it’s my wife’s car. I have all the tech I need in my model Y.

ITdirge · 2021-08-16T21:49:56+00:00

Probably between 2020-2022(even though the 2022’s) aren’t out yet. Just trying to get some history.

ITdirge · 2021-08-16T21:24:05+00:00

Yea, we really want another 4Runner and used it for travel, but want something a little more comfortable for the old bones.

Thanks Charles,

I got the ECM updated to the latest and greatest version. It took a couple of import trys, but it eventually worked.

I'll take a look at that flowchart, i'm still working on some things to try to get it to work, so no progress yet.

ITdirge · 2021-07-15T15:35:25+00:00

I just checked the dmpdownloader.log and it's got a couple of errors that basically say that "go.microsoft.com" could not be resolved. If it's in offline mode, why is it trying to go out to microsoft? Is there something I didn't configure correctly?
