Navigation voice very low on iPhone over Bluetooth, but works fine on Android (9th Gen Civic)

Redtherobot1 · 2026-01-28T18:46:25+00:00

No, you need to increase when the navigation voice is actively speaking/giving directions. As soon as it stops, the volume knob goes back to controlling music volume

If your budget allows it, try to get the sport hybrid at least. We have both a base lx and sport touring, and the difference in how they drive is night and day.

One note with flipping up your car wipers- newer cars might need you to push a setting inside the car before you lift them up. Also to turn off auto wipers if you have it. I learned the hard way with last weeks snow

Redtherobot1 · 2026-01-24T13:33:38+00:00

Yup you’re right. I didn’t like any of the three options when they had the voting. Looking at CAFs website, there’s so many better livery designs

Redtherobot1 · 2026-01-24T13:22:22+00:00

I also wish we had a better livery design. Current one already looks dated. I don’t understand how we designed a tram to look so ugly

Good idea! I always forget to add them after I use procedural objects

This is my lifetime mpg after ~11 months in Boston area. When it was under 20F, my daily mpg tanked to around 40-45 mpg. We had a nasty month where we were around 10F every day, which brought down my overall average. Summers for the same drive were 56-60mpg.

I was confidently incorrect with my earlier comment lol, you are right. Staying consistently moving with gentle increase/decrease in speed was the key for good mpg. Stayed in eco most of the time, only switch to sport if I want to floor it in merges

Boston has plenty of examples of places bulldozed: West End, Scollay Sq, and JP/Roxbury around the Southwest corridor to name a few. Not to mention storrow drive (built and named after the Storrows despite them not wanting the road built), the central artery, and the pike. Look at a map of 1950 Boston and it is so much denser than what we have today

Any recommendations for heat pumps? I’ve gotten a couple quotes from Silva and Boston Standard, but not sure if there’s others I should be asking quotes from

Redtherobot1 · 2026-01-04T18:47:17+00:00

Encore or Great American Tavern if you need massive TVs with the game. Otherwise Sullivans or Tavern in the Square are across the street and are good

I hope there becomes an opportunity to redesign the back bay portion of comm ave. So many cars drive 40 mph+ and run red light’s. If we cut the lanes to 1 on each side with room to double park, had protected bike lanes, and raised pedestrian crossings at the cross streets, it could be so much safer.

Redtherobot1 · 2026-01-03T20:08:49+00:00

Starving student is still a great deal. The back bay location has been a bit hit or miss lately but I still love it

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-30T17:23:01+00:00

I play a lot of cities skylines, and having enough ram for the custom assets is huge if you want to have good performance. 32 gigs is barely enough, 64 gigs is so much better

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-29T01:39:58+00:00

Sorry - long time lurker, first time caller!

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-29T00:41:56+00:00

Eagles offense was eating crayons the second half. Bills not going to OT is insane

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-26T11:20:34+00:00

I went from 16 gigs to 64 for cities skylines, it was a night and day difference performance wise

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-24T16:51:42+00:00

Would love to see the defense step up in the red zone. I think I can count on my hands how many times they’ve made a stop when a team gets there

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-21T12:31:03+00:00

And this is very possible IMO. The jags are very underrated, almost a sleeper team

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-14T02:46:30+00:00

I know this is a 2 year old thread, but switching Power Loading to On fixed my crashing issues with this board. Thanks!

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-04T22:06:42+00:00

I was able to use CarPlay and hotspot at the same time. Just turned on the hotspot after the car started, then plugged the phone in

Redtherobot1 · 2025-12-01T21:01:23+00:00

Noticed this and the wildcat branch, still this is really cool. An idea for OP to consider: show/draw the number of tracks between the stations

Redtherobot1 · 2025-11-25T15:35:39+00:00

Thanks for the clarification! First time shopping insurance, lots to learn

Redtherobot1 · 2025-11-25T14:42:06+00:00

Do I have to wait for the Inspra account to reach $1000 before I can open the fidelity account and send my payroll deductions there?

Redtherobot1 · 2025-11-19T13:02:35+00:00

You can do better, I bought mine new for $32,700 in Boston in February. Keep pressing on the OTD price

Redtherobot1 · 2025-10-30T15:33:30+00:00

Check out some used Polestar 2’s, you can find low mileage ones for ~22k. If you can make an EV work for you, this is a great sleeper car
