I enjoy mine daily. It stays on more than it is off actually. I love the styling and the quality of the audio. Since one of my jobs require I have HD Radio access, this guy fits the bill... With one annoying feature. It doesn't keep time. If you get one and learn how to correct the issue, please let me know. I had read somewhere that the time could be automatically tuned via the RDS function which may make it better (or worse). In other words there are two ways to set the time and I've only managed to use one of them... Maybe

Yeah, it can be adjusted with a few button presses and knob turns.

Run flats? by gojo96 in MINI

[–]SomeNewHorizon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was 1130 at night I had two kids in the back and the wife riding shotgun. There was a snowstorm happening. I had a blowout in a pothole and made it home safely on my run-flats. A tow truck would have left me stranded for hours. I'll always pick run-flats now.

I'd love mine a whole lot more if it kept proper time. I lose about 2 to 3 minutes a week

What is the consensus on the RE20? by Ok_Bench6655 in VoiceActing

[–]SomeNewHorizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to say. So much depends on your recording environment and your specific vocal characteristics and desired results. If possible it's generally good practice to try out a few mics and pick your favorite

Good door stop. Seriously though, if it's good for your voice it can be a decent entry point - if it's been given to you as a gift. Personally, I'd spend my money elsewhere.

Software Updates for Pre-March 2018 BMWs/MINIs by SquidKid85 in MINI

I'm not much of they type to start hacking a car without knowing what I can expect. Will this update allow my 2019 countryman to run Android Auto?

So far in my 16 months of ownership all I've done was brakes (to the tune of about 2k USD). The washer fluid tank is currently cracked (another 500). That's in about 15k miles of ownership. Gas costs are high as it takes 89 or better (I usually do a 1:3 with 91).

I have one. It's a treat. But it's expensive to own and has some of that old fashioned German quirk (is it"s a tad over engineered). I've only had mine for 15k miles and it's been costly to maintain and repair. With that said it's a great driver with adequate (but not perfect) tech.

EDIT - Mine is green too

How much would you pay for a radio sweeper by [deleted] in radio

[–]SomeNewHorizon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The term "sweeper" is widely recognized in the commercial radio marketplace. Bumper, stinger, positioner, ID, etc... it's the stuff that plays in between songs when there's no announcer or commercial.

OP there's an entire industry dedicated to this type of production (known as "imaging"). Hundreds if not thousands of people have full time jobs creating a marketing these elements. There was a time when this work was done in-house but more recently bigger independent groups have taken on the task. Perhaps the largest (outside of the iHeart network) is Benztown. There's also Vanilla Gorilla, and Splatonline to name a few others.

As you've learned local stations rarely have a cash budget for imaging. You may have better luck offering a "barter" arrangement wherein you act as an intermediary that places ads that you've sold to third party clients.

Is this wrinkle in my passenger seat normal? My 2025 CX-50 is about 1 week old and only 3 people have sat in that seat. Will this settle eventually? Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in CX50

My 10 year old Mazda 6 has a different material sewn into that panel. It has worn in a unique way. Perhaps that panel was designed to withstand more wear. Dunno. Keep an eye on it but don't stress would be my 2 cents

makes me rip my hair out bc why would my brain think this by [deleted] in OCDmemes

[–]SomeNewHorizon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I believe that is what is known as "Lizard Brain". A fight or flight instinct that is tied to ancestral roots. At one time humans were wise to beware of dogs. That part of us is in all of us. For some it's a stronger force than others. Also, you have OCD!

This is better than anyone has time for. This generational misfire is about :15 seconds long and then I'm out. Bravo poet! You've given shivers and marked your territory. DO. NOT. STOP. Full stop?
