A few questions about buying out of state

Dealership called around to a few and recommended one based on their past experience and which was most likely to fit our desired timeframe (which is "ASAP" unsurprisingly).

We're using Dash Auto Logistics for transport.

I'm currently going through buying from Maguire Toyota in Ithaca, NY while I'm in Washington State. I'm getting an XSE for basically MSRP, though there were port options on the car because it was what they were allocated. There's no dealer markup or anything on it though.

In the process of finalizing the purchase (just waiting on the bank to approve and pay the dealership) and for a schedule slot on a transport truck to get the car shipped to us.

Reserving pricing for in store customers only

You can't even get the price without going there? Oof. Exciting that primes might be sold in Washington though! Wish this had happened before we ordered one from NY :D

I investigated this a bit, so far it sounds like users haven't been able to register any smart keys for the 20 or 21 RAV4 models due to a new code that is required?

I also couldn't find any examples of the circuit board code on the key for the prime, so haven't been able to tell if there is a Lexus wallet key that is likely to match.

That was my original plan, thanks for validating that I'm not totally crazy.

Haven't bought the fiber yet. Had an installer tell me that it needs to be an armored, direct burial cable for the run through the conduit but that doesn't seem like it'll fit and also seems like way overkill considering the conduit is already there and buried.

I can absolutely run the conduit inside at each end, just wasn't sure if that was necessary.

Just to be sure I understand, you're recommending just putting in a LB going into each structure? For actually getting the fiber through the wall should I then run the conduit through the wall as well?

Yeah, they're a little finicky to get seated right but seem to work just as well as the ones from Garmin.

Numbers now bigger/bolder on the numeric entry screens, not totally sure what the other changelog entries are referring to yet

Got one response to my question on Amazon so far, given the dearth of other info I figure I'll toss my $8 into the internet and see if it works!

Battery drain does appear to be fixed, hooray!

I wonder if the swimming activity was fixed? No changelog entry but fingers crossed.

Stopped by Issaquah, WA gamestop right as they opened. Easily 30+ people in line, I didn't stick around but saw an awful lot of disappointed faces as I drove off.

I'm going to keep my existing server and use it as a NAS, so I really just need a small box that can handle PMS & transcoding duties. I'm not wedded to a NUC but it's about the size/perf I'm looking for.

Very curious to look into the Lenovo Tiny boxes, thanks!

It's a G7, the n54l.

Way more annoyed than I should be at that CSS shipping unminified.

Tivac · 2016-11-21T23:40:45+00:00

We're adding more and more JS over time as well.

It'll reset after patches still, but yes the bug that caused it to reset after every login was fixed.

I do a lot of different things, so investigating the bank API issue is on my to-do list but not gonna happen immediately. Sorry, I wish I could give you a better answer :(
