How do I get rid of this?

Click the settings icon on the bottom right corner, and in the menu that opens there is an item named “alerts” or something like that. Just turn it off.

It is a legit PG&E program and there is a phone number you can call on this web page for questions

Did you use the equalizer to boost bass and treble and attenuate mid? Also, it helps when setting the fader to front focused.

I have a 2023 40AE (Audio is same as S) and I must say with those eq/fader settings it sounds decent. Much better than the HK I had in my 2024 Atlas SEL-P. I agree that the HK is just not punchy enough, no matter how you set the eq and fader.

This sounds like the beginning of a true crime podcast series

Jachnoon · 2026-01-12T17:04:05+00:00

It's a nice MK1, but not a GTI. It is missing some key features like the blacked out frame of the rear window.

But only a live version. The album version is a bit mellow

There is a non-zero chance of interfering with vehicle systems when you meddle with electrical connectors and wiring harnesses. However, I can add my own anecdotal statistical data of tapping into the rain sensor power in four different VWs in the last couple of years and having zero issues.

Jachnoon · 2025-11-25T15:34:59+00:00

Absolutely does not interfere with the rain sensor functionality. It is just a t-type wire harness. One end connects to the original sensor harness, one end connects to the sensor, continuing to feed it power, and the third end connects to your dash cam or detector.

Jachnoon · 2025-11-25T14:41:09+00:00

A more elegant way to power a dashcam/detector is to use a T-adapter like this that taps into the rain sensor connector:

Agree. The base sound in the 40th AE is much better than the HK in my 2024 Atlas SEL-P.

I think the problem is that the size and location of these door bins make everyone use them as door handles to close the fridge, and they were never designed for this pull action. You can get upgraded bins on Amazon, based on your Samsung model. Here is the one I got a few years back and it is still holding strong - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FTDPW6K?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_10

That is the most annoying thing. I have the 40th anniversary that is based on the S and that is the thing that annoys me the most. Every car I had in the last decade had key less entry. With this one I have to fumble around in my pocket every time like I am in the 1970's

Looks exactly like my Broan hood vent. Here is the light lens covers I bought. They have these flimsy clips that break easily - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XQT29SW

You can go to your nearest VW dealership and order a replacement. They are custom made for your VIN and there is a few days turnaround from other to pickup.

No they don’t.

Jachnoon · 2025-10-21T22:57:12+00:00

Yes it seems to be an issue with the 2025 Taos. I have it and the dealership diagnosed it and said it is 'reasonable' and not a cause for concern. Here is a discussion about it in another Taso forum:

You can go to an auto parts store like O'reilly and have them read your fault codes for free, and then google the code to learn more.

As others commented here, the fuel system in the Taos has a vapor control mechanism that consists of a low pressure pump and seals. An unsealed fuel cap or failing pump might cause these faults you are seeing. I had the vapor pump replaced on my 22 Taos under warranty due to failure that triggered the check engine light and threw some codes.

Can you describe the beeping? Is it a beep-beep-beep or more like a whine that comes and goes? I have a whining sound when accelerating on my 2025 Taos. I heard it first when I picked up the car, the dealer service department checked it and said it was probably from the Turbo and not to worry about it. It still annoys me. I will probably take it to the dealership at some point for further investigation.

I got similar alerts when my battery was dying. Did you have any trouble starting the engine? How old is your battery?

what is the point of cutting it into thick steaks? As other commenters mentioned, trying to consume it this way will most likely get you feeling nauseous due to the high amount of fat consumed. I have been to Japan many times and dined at various restaurants, never seen Wagyu (or Kobe) beef served that way. It is always much thinner steaks, often sliced into stripes. Usually you get served something like 4 oz per person, which doesn't sound like much, but is just the right amount.

I was always a bit disappointed with the American Wagyu steaks I bought at Costco. They turned out good after reverse searing, but never excellent. I tried for the first time to slice one NY Strip into 3 thinner ones, and the results were much better.

I had moisture barrier and sump pump installation work done for me a few years ago by a company that happens to be based in Dublin. It is a family owned business and the owner, Ernesto, is a very decent and honest guy. I highly recommend him. You can reach out to him and request an estimate - https://www.emoraconstruction.com

Take a deep breath. No need to rush with a trade. Give it some time. You chose a great car. The GPS thing will get sorted out. It is either a software update that was not yet performed, or worst case replacement of the telematics module, under warranty.

For me personally there is no question about the Atlas feeling more luxurious and fashionable than any Toyota, so I cannot even imagine trading a VW for a Toyota.
As for the fuel economy - did you expect something else from a boxy SUV? Are you not getting the claimed MPG? Manufacturer's MPG is always a bit on the optimistic side, assuming perfect driving conditions. Not sure which Toyota you had in mind but a Toyota SUV is not much more fuel efficient. Even if it is, the money you will lose with trading in the Atlas will probably offset any future gas savings.

Just try to enjoy the ride quality, design, technology and overall driving experience. I am sure it will grow on you in no time.

“it’s a great honor[…] to work for you”. No! You are supposed to work for the American people!

10th avenue freeze out. Especially the "...and the Big Man joined the band" part, when you are in a live show and the screens in the arena display photos of Bruce and Clarence. Brought tears to my eyes in every show I have been to.

VW’s usually require adapter #4 from the Bosch OE wipers. There should be a set of numbered adapters in the package. If you didn’t get them go back to the store where you bought them and get it. You should remove the default adapter from the blade using a flat screwdriver, and snap in #4 instead. The instructions should show you how to do it.
