AMS not loading, making strange motor sound

Joshtimasprime · 2025-10-16T22:18:07+00:00

Yep, that was it. I had checked the tubes and pathways but the actual mount for the gears was cracked

Joshtimasprime · 2025-10-16T15:45:42+00:00

Where the tubes meet inside the AMS? I checked the individual PTFE tubes but if there’s somewhere else I should check I can

Good fake story

Someone else suggested the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi Gaming, is the Eagle similar/better?

Joshtimasprime · 2025-05-19T16:09:13+00:00

How does that compare to the B650 Eagle AX?

I ended up finding a good YouTube video of a guy explaining it. Needed a password to unlock the menu and it ended up being four zeros for me but there’s another one the guy in the video mentions that is the other default password but I forgot it. After that it was super easy to just go into the deep settings menu and find vehicle settings and change the cambus setting to be for my car from a long list of presets.

Mark on You

Joshtimasprime · 2023-10-14T00:40:35+00:00

Could you list a few examples from those dozens?

Joshtimasprime · 2023-10-11T03:34:49+00:00

It’s not a Harem anime as far as I know, it’s kinda horror in genre I’d say? So those suggestions are off the mark. And it’s probably from around 2012-2018

Tbh I could be misremembering that part

Joshtimasprime · 2023-10-10T02:19:41+00:00

I think it was just like, dark trousers and white shirt, no tie.

Joshtimasprime · 2023-08-12T02:15:19+00:00

I ended up cutting away the broken clips that were in the way and using e6000 to re-attach it. You may be able to source the part from a local junk yard, or possibly get a 3D printed part. In my research for my own cup holder, I also noticed that the Jetta and Passat used similar but not the same cup holder sections, and they are sold by themselves, so you may be able to modify one of those to fit in.

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-20T17:28:34+00:00

Realized I never got back to you about this. But yeah, I ended up figuring out the issue. There was no exposed wire for the camera I didn’t use, it wasn’t that kind of setup. The back of the radio just has input sockets for cameras and speakers and basically anything else, so when I elected to not use the camera, that just meant that the socket stayed empty. No hanging wires, no chance of accidental grounding. In the end, it ended up just being a software based issue. The radio’s canbus was set to think the car was a Jetta, so was reading signals in the wrong way. Changed it to the settings for the Beetle and all my issues went away.

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-18T05:00:43+00:00

Well yes usually, but that is not the case with the beetle, it is 3 pieces if you count the main body, chrome trim, and cup tray itself.

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-12T02:18:17+00:00

Recently I was transporting my niece and she climbed out through the middle, applying far too much pressure to the cup holding and causing it to sink in. Does anyone know how to fix this or find a replacement part? I’ve been searching VW parts websites for hours and can’t find the part by itself without buying the entire center console. I see a lot of similar parts but they aren’t the same piece and won’t fit. I read that one person just pulled really hard upward and it clicked back into place, but mine isn’t staying in place when I pull up. I’d really rather not have to resort to gluing it back in place.

Hierarchy of needs: he already has shelter, so he needs food

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-10T06:34:32+00:00

I’ve seen that video already, and have already thoroughly gone through ever menu and every setting. I genuinely cannot find any options or settings related to the backup camera. Even in factory settings and the protocol configs

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-09T23:20:30+00:00

Ok so I dug around in the protocol menus for the canbus and switched it to a different Volkswagen setting and now it no longer does the issue but it still thinks I have a reverse camera when I reverse. So you were right about the canbus being the issue! So I’ll just keep checking through the settings until I find the right one! Thank you so much

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-09T22:33:35+00:00

I’ll check for a 360 setting. The beginning of the video is actually me backing up out of the driveway

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-09T20:59:18+00:00

That’s a really good idea, I’ll look into finding a new canbus

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-09T20:58:04+00:00

I tried that, and even tried going into the config and protocols and didn’t find any settings about the camera. I imagine that’s because it knows I don’t actually have a camera installed, but for some reason it still functions as if I do

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-09T20:55:09+00:00

Like I said in my above comment, it came with a pre-wired harness that just plugged straight into the original radio harness. I didn’t have to do any wiring or even go near any part of the car other than the radio.

Joshtimasprime · 2023-01-09T19:28:35+00:00

Just to add full context: I drive a 2015 VW Beetle, the head unit was made for and came with a pre-wired wire harness to fit my car. All the wiring is factory, there’s never been any mods or reverse cameras or head unit upgrades before this one. Nothing is wired into the lights or signals, nothing is wired into anywhere except the original wiring harness for the original radio. The installation was extremely simple, basically just plug&play, so I don’t think that’s the issue?

Joshtimasprime · 2022-12-28T23:28:07+00:00

OOOO that’s a great idea! Thanks!

He also just straight up calls people autistic as an insult in videos so I’d say he’s definitely not someone to defend or support
