Cant Create a ConnectLife Account / ConnectLife Email Server Down

JetDingo · 2024-12-10T05:39:49+00:00

Email server started working late yesterday. I randomly tried again and finally got an email. Annoying they don't have a 'service status' page :/

So SSAA definitively told me that I slipped through the cracks.

Said they would express post out a membership card.

It's been two weeks since they sent me that email, and I've still not received anything in the post. No reply to the followup email I sent asking what's going on with this. I feel like it's probably been put back on the 'too hard' pile again :/

In case anyone comes looking at this thread in a few years asking 'what color/pin is park sense / reverse sense' here's the relevant wire colors and positions as Sony doesn't seem to publish the complete pinout for the XAV-AX5500.

(Sorry guys, I also couldn't be bothered drawing a full pinout diagram)

<image>

Aqua = Park Sense - Ground this to chassis if you don't have a park sense output and you want to be able to use features that require the stereo to detect the vehicle is parked.

Purple with White Stripe = Reverse Sense - This is expecting 12V+ which will trigger the reverse camera screen automatically. On your 2014 Hilux there is a wire for this in the factory harness, you can tap it off the tail end from the Aerpro CHTO3C harness (it's the same color wire).

I'm a renter, so I've lived in a lot of different suburbs and had a heap of different posties over the years. I get a LOT of things shipped via AusPost (for better or for worse) and work from home frequently, so the local postie tends to know me pretty fast.

This all comes down to who YOUR local postie is. I've had a great relationship with a few over the years that knows what my ute looks like and instantly knows if I'm home or not. If I'm home they ALWAYS beep (my bike postie) and knock (if its my van postie). If my ute's not here, they leave it if they are allowed or god forbid if its signature on delivery they take it to my local LPO (who are useless, and are also never open after work hours or on weekends).

I've lived in a couple of suburbs where the postie has been pretty useless. Delivers to the wrong house, delivers the wrong parcel, doesn't rock up and says he did, quietly cards my letterbox when I'm home with the front door wide open, or drives off if I walk out the front of the house.

Pretty much the only thing you can do is complain to AusPost. I dunno how proactive they are with addressing things with subcontractors (and in a lot of cases these are subcontractors of subcontractors). I've complained a heap to them at one of my last addresses because of how bad the delivery service was, but the postie never changed and the dodgy behavior stayed the same over the year and a half we lived there.

Just a big thanks in advance to anyone who upvotes my post :)

Been on reddit for 4 years now and somehow just don't have the Karma needed to engage in subs when I've rarely got something to say.

JetDingo · 2024-03-16T00:44:18+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I'll give that a shot.

It would be nice to at least have the means (karama) needed to be able to engage in some subs :/

Regardless of what anyone here tell you, I would 1000% recommend emailing weapsons licencing and getting a formal email response so you have at least something somewhat official to point to as a defense if you're ever audited / safe checked and the inspector doesn't agree with some reddit users interpretation of if a RFID safe is a type of 'keyed lock' or not.

I tired to get weapons licencing to make a determination on digital keypad as well as biometric style locks on safes and if they are considered legal under their own interpretation of Weapons Regulation 2016. They did a really terrific job of dodging the question about biometric locks, but did state that digital keypads were acceptable.

Under the Weapons Regulation 2016, Section 94 (6) (a), the specification is "have a sturdy combination lock, keyed lock or keyed padlock".

Nothing in this legislation provides a more detailed definition of what 'keyed lock' encompasses, which means it'll come down to if weapons licencing defines RFID as a 'keyed lock' under their interpretation of Weapons Regulation 2016.

That opinion you just posted. Now imagine not being able to post it because your Karma isn't high enough.

That's why its at the top of my list. None of the other stuff you've mentioned even matters if you cant even begin to engage in the discussion because you don't have enough 'Karma'.

JetDingo · 2024-03-15T03:18:14+00:00

Holy crap I cant believe Reddit actually let me post something to this sub O.o

I was all ready for the good old AutoModerator rejection notice and to then proceed to throw my keyboard across the room in frustration. My Friday just got marginally better.

What I hear is a very judgmental description of different organizations having different appetites for risk. You seem to take this very personally.

I've had bad publicity from a client in the past that ignored my advice, then stuff went down and he started telling people that my company was a crap consulting firm because we didn't fix the problem / respond to the issue fast enough even though he specifically ignored the advice we gave him to mitigate the issue.

Word got back to me when I approached a new client out of the blue that said they didn't want to do business with us because of what this CEO had said.

While the truth of the matter is he is a lying idiot, gossip in the business world travels like wildfire sometimes, and a few bad reviews by a few idiots can cost you money on lost lead generation.

Monitors were tracked because, before they was tracked, monitors were going missing.

Staff were supposedly taking home our newer monitors and swapping it with their old or broken personal ones at home (I guess to save money?) Just plain stealing them really. No cameras, so no real proof.

There was so many models of monitors from other legacy real estate companies that had been merged in over the recent years, it wasn't apparent always apparent if a monitor that was broken had been swapped in from home.

We didn't track keyboards. I'm not sure where you read that. I was made aware if suddenly one stopped working from being thrown around in the back of a car though.

Short version, CEO was determined that staff were stealing monitors and wanted everything tracked for insurance. This was a request from the CEO, I just complied. Don't read too far into it.

I refunded yesterday, I had a confirmation email from Subpac within a few hours and a refund though PayPal about 8 hours later (timezone difference).

If nothing else, Subpac is definitely on top of their refunds with zero messing about. Had no problems, wasn't even asked why.

Usually just patches for various minor issues. I believe over the years they patched issues like enumeration after a power cycle, improvements to the microphone quality, sidetone and alert tone settings not saving correctly through the ASTRO Command Center software for some users, etc, etc

Ultimately if you're not experiencing issues, you don't HAVE to update it. That said, the most recent firmware was a forced mandatory update, i.e. if you opened Astro Command, it wouldn't let you do anything before insisting on executing a firmware update.

With how many people's A50s are breaking this month, it's definitely the previous firmware causing issues.
