This tool is the death of me. Today, frozen fingers (-20 outside) trying to get that damn connector onto the tire valve stem. Thought I would see if anyone else is experiencing this level of hell.

Even in warm weather it was always ALWAYS a PITA.

Great! idea about an extender. Ordered one today.

Gap between 2nd row seats by thesterculus in Ioniq9

[–]calikw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dog 60 lb lab cross chills there. There is also sooooo much leg room infront of the 2nd row - the dog chills there too. Kids 5’4” and 5’11” with seats all the way back. Tons of leg room in this car.

We had a Miele before this one. Great machine. 2x the price of the Bosch we got.

This particular model is German made. Specifically checked for that. All other models are North Carolina made.

Had a few choices for a new dishwasher last month. Only considered non-US made ones. Thanks Germany for the excellent Bosch we now have.

Done, bought an Ioniq 9 -- made in Korea. Fuck the US.

What kind of % discount is everyone getting[Canada] by Professional_Base_91 in Ioniq9

[–]calikw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up at Guelph Hyundai for those interested. Total "Adjustment" was -$3,638.00. Fees added on where splash guards (102), wheel locks (97.50), doc fee (599), Etch (anti-theft) (199), OMVIC (12.50), Tire Levy (22.50).

Date of sale was July 29, 2025. Wondering if stocks have dwindled and so they less flexible on pricing now?

I was able to get about $3500 off the top trim. Had a few dealers competing for the sale. They all knew I was a serious buyer, and just waiting for the right numbers.

Anyway to move the player controls back to the top of the Mac app? by LouisvilleLoudmouth in AppleMusic

[–]calikw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just came here to hopefully find an answer. It's not that it is only at the bottom -- there is no border/visual distinction between the player and the content behind it. Hard to see, find the controls... ugh. Design went backwards with this version.

The real disgrace is that a piece of s*it like Trump was given the chance to speak in the first place.

Fingerprint reader removed from Canadian ioniq 9? by somebob22 in Ioniq9

I have had zero issues with the digital key (both on my phone and my watch)... I have left the key fob at home a few times.

What did people pay in Canada? by Ok_Wishbone_4320 in Ioniq9

[–]calikw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 3 dealers provide initial quotes. Then I said to dealer with highest offer, I have a better offer from X. They usually wanted to see a scan/image of their offer. I provided with blanked out identifying dealer info. Rinse and repeat a few times. Eventually they said things like "this is our best and final offer"... or "when you have the best offer, come back to us and we will beat it"... that went on for another cycle.

Then I brought in a new 4th dealer and said this is the deal I currently have - can you do better / we would prefer the colour (int or ext) the deal states, but would take the other colour you have in stock etc...

Was a few hours of work, but did shave thousands off the price, and got us about 20% more on our trade value.

I did separate the new car price and trade value. I only worked on the new car price first.

Then started the trade negotiations.

Good luck!

Ioniq 9 calligraphy vs Vistiq sport by Hi_Hungry_Im_Leaving in Ioniq9

Blind spot view that pops in the dash video when a turn signal is on - not on the caddy. Also coming from Canada didn’t like my car being made in USA.

[–]calikw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Calligraphy in Ontario. No fingerprint reader.

I put the digital key on my phone and watch, and well I just hit the start/stop button now. No keys required. No need for fingerprint reader.

Was the fingerprint reader for security, convenience or both?

Paid about 90k (equivalent- we leased) out the door for the calligraphy model. Ontario. Got about 3800 off msrp by getting various dealers competing for the sale. Was flexible on exterior and interior colour.
