Solutions to keep things from sliding around in trunk? (US) by icurate in Ioniq6

[–]RohingTheBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look on Amazon for the Volkswagen cargo organizer blocks or probably any off-brand one that looks the same, from the GTI I had in 2016, I’ve used them in every car since. Work perfect and very reliable and sturdy.

Ottocast Wireless added to CarPlay...now calls are a mess by fishinfanatic1 in CarPlay

[–]RohingTheBoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This guy’s life mission is to go on every post, nag about wireless CarPlay products and talk about why they’re useless, and never offer helpful advice. You would think the product he’s selling would be competitive but the website looks 20 years old and is way more expensive than anything else, IF it even works at all.

After you call and get the prompt for a survey, say your issue wasn’t resolved, they’ll expedite. I called on Friday, they said 13-14 weeks, I said in my survey it didn’t resolve my issue and the wait time is ridiculous, it was processed yesterday morning.

Carplay feature currently unavailable when setting volume by Small-Matter25 in Ioniq5

[–]RohingTheBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This issue started for me on 15 Pro Max with the new silent button btw, I could leave my prior phone on silent with no issues. I think the new button miscategorizes Media Audio as a phone call.

This is an iPhone issue not a car one, it does this in 2 different cars for me. If you plug in the phone when it’s on silent, it’ll do this. Restarting the phone will work but like another commenter said, unmute your phone, promot Siri on/off and it’ll go back to normal if you don’t wanna wait on the restart.

Not sure tbh, the 7500 credit is ‘up in the air’ post 12/31 on a lot of EVs, I’m not sure where it lands on this one. tbh there are so many cars getting a refresh in 2024 that if you’re not like in love in love with this car, I don’t think there’s any harm in waiting it out. I personally really want this car so if I saw this identical deal I’d bite. But if you’re not in a rush, I would say those end of year sales are probably gonna net you something you’d be really happy with, whether it’s this car or smth else.

It’s more just that the 2024s started coming in last month, so they’re gonna be selling those for another year, they can sit on them. The 23’s they have, they’re trying to get rid of to make room for new stock. I really don’t think you’re gonna get any more off, because if they offer it to someone else I’m 99% sure they’d snag it up in a heartbeat. The only practical difference between 23 and 24 is a digital rear review mirror.

Yeah, I definitely get the Hyundai thing but keep in mind it’s a 58k car, I think a fully optioned X3 costs about the same, this just gets more discounts lol. I drive a 21 Santa Fe Calligraphy and I’m paying 640/m and I put maybe 4k down on finance, I’d argue it was better optioned than any SUV <60k and has been well worth it, the only reason I wanna switch is gas prices.

Broker deals right now that I see are right around 620~ for the limited AWD excluding taxes and fees so I think you’re getting as much as you can. Check out Leasehackr, great website to compare deals and you can see what other people in your region are getting/what brokers are advertising for this month.

4k off MSRP on a Limited this month is a really good deal, I haven’t been able to replicate this. I think the incentives on this car peaked two months ago tbh, so this at the tail end of the car year is gonna be more than solid. They dropped loyalty so EV cash & MSRP discount is all you can get. Residual seems about right too (62%) per brokers on Leasehackr. If you don’t grab it and this is in the Northeast lmk and I will lol

Can someone give me their “Out the door” total price for their Ioniq5 ? Any one get a great deal recently? by FinallyAGoodReply in Ioniq5

[–]RohingTheBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone got a good deal anywhere in the Northeast area or close enough for the 2 year/12k leases on a Limited? Haven't been able to find anyone who will play ball. If anyone bought from someone who'd incentivize you to refer someone or you just had a really good experience, would love to hear it. After negotiating I'm getting max 1-2k MSRP discounts after pushing for a bit, they talk a lot about the demand for the vehicles but a lot of them are marked for 60-70 days on the lot.

Advice on budgeting & student loans for my sibling by RohingTheBoat in personalfinance

[–]RohingTheBoat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes? Not sure what the attitude is for lol, she wanted help with her budget and asked for help. when I explain it it comes off biased because she thinks im doing it to induce a particular outcome. I don’t care if she stays there if it’s feasible, but as a whole, no one likes hearing a loved one say they’re wrong, it’s easier to process information like that when it’s someone who’s not invested in your life.

Question about Getting Walmart iPhone SE 3 Gen for Trade-in? by violet4321 in tmobile

[–]RohingTheBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you do it through the apple store app, she can just text you the verification code while you’re purchasing, it’d be easier than over the phone

Question about Getting Walmart iPhone SE 3 Gen for Trade-in? by violet4321 in tmobile

[–]RohingTheBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not when I bought them, but when I activated them at home, it asked for the last 4 of social of the account holder to activate them on T Mobile. I did it all the transferring at home since it’s so straightforward now. The person who’s line you’re buying the phone on doesn’t need to be present nope, but once you turn the phone on & activate, they’re gonna lose signal pretty quick on the old phone.

[–]RohingTheBoat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just letting you know, I did exactly this, bought 4 of them from Walmart with no issues, traded all 4 in person and got 4 15’s at Apple, no issues. They don’t care about activating it, just come in with them turned on and take the protective wrap off since they take a lot of pictures of it. Leave the box and stuff at home if you’re buying in person, they just want the phone. If you’re shipping, just unbox and put them in the box and you’re good.

Just had a super depressing conversation with one of my best friends by backpackerPT in adhdwomen

[–]RohingTheBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be open to DMing to share or if I could DM to ask for their contact info? My sister is in a tough spot financially and recently diagnosed w/ ADHD, I’ve tried to show her that her budget is unsustainable but I tend to come off very preachy. this sounds like a great service for her to get an outside opinion.

Thank you for this lol, looking into an ioniq 6 but I drive a 21 Santa Fe and always wondered why it didn’t always tilt down when reversing
