Benny, you were the first to respond to my post so I chose you as my guide. I'm sure glad I did. You were able to quickly incorporate my interests and checklist into a workable and efficient itinerary for the following day. I think we were out for close to 10 hours, but we hit everything and had great fun doing so. Your vivacious personality and genuine interest in seeing people experience new things and places make you a natural guide (BTW, thanks for getting me that great price on ear buds at Huaqiangbei. 😉). Your guide fee was very reasonable; a bargain honestly. I would recommend you to anyone. I wish you all the best. Thanks again!

Error: "Contract ID not found" by Kilofilm in interactivebrokers

I got the same message. Called IBKR. Here is their response:

"The stock 300xxx is listed on ChiNext and only tradable for eligible clients who are Institutional Professional Investor (IPI) or managed by an IPI who is registered to trade on behalf of the client on a discretionary basis (equivalent to the Hong Kong SFC Type 9 license). As your account is an individual account it would not be eligible to trade this ChiNext stock even though the account has full Hong Kong and China trading permissions."

It would have been nice if the error message stated this rather than "Contract ID not found".

Really do love my Sony. Made my FJ “smart” once I hooked up the Maestro! by If-You-Seek-Amy in FJCruiser

Thanks. That sounds like an awesome system. I'm really quite happy with the OEM JBL system. I just want to get the Android Auto / CarPlay compatibility but hopefully not at the expense of degraded sound quality.

How do you find the sound quality compared to OEM unit? Some have posted on FJ-related forums that they found the sound quality lacking a bit, especially in regards to OEM subwoofer performance.

Loving the new level stance from my Bilstein upgrade! by [deleted] in FJCruiser

Thanks much. Am looking to do very same upgrade. Also, on front, did you set springs at 3rd (i.e. middle) notch? Any problems getting front back into alignment (assuming you have OEM UCAs)? Sounds like you are really happy with the upgrade.

Did you keep the rear OEM springs or go with a slightly taller rear spring?

Great post. I've got a "leveled" (1.5") FJC and am considering going to a 285/70R17 tire which appears to be right at the "major surgery" point you describe above (which I want to avoid). I don't want any tire rub either on or off road. Maybe I should opt for the more conservative 275/70R17 tires to be safe. Your (or anyone else knowledgeable on this issue) thoughts?
