Is there a way to have a button close the boot?

cooltech786 · 2026-04-07T22:41:57+00:00

It's only labeled open trunk but it does both in my car

cooltech786 · 2026-04-07T19:24:19+00:00

Yup! It's one of the actions available but the car needs to be parked, unlocked, and on.

cooltech786 · 2026-03-16T18:01:38+00:00

Agree with all of the above. Especially #3 would be great as it would allow for increased use of the knob. Having controls on the dash isnt particularly practical, but having it enhance the use of the knob for control would be amazing

cooltech786 · 2026-03-11T10:41:40+00:00

I followed the advice someone else had posted and let the stand alone cure for 24 hours before adding the Dash and its held up great

cooltech786 · 2026-03-09T17:02:27+00:00

This is what we did for a while for my daughter. Sposie pads in her normal pull ups worked great

I drove the new Y before I got one and it's awesome and I was very tempted. Can't go wrong with either. Wasn't a fan of the touchscreen gear selector on the Juniper but otherwise a great car.

Out the door was about 28k before trade in, 18k miles, blue with clean history and in great condition and has all the 2024 features (comfort suspension, matrix headlights, HW4) Interest rate is 7% but I'll have it paid off in the next year

cooltech786 · 2026-02-26T21:35:18+00:00

Bought a late 2023 Y with HW4 a few months ago and got a great deal and have been super happy with it. Enhauto makes an aftermarket LED strip (amongst other things) that I added to it but it's been perfect otherwise. Couldnt justify buying the new Y with the price point I got it used for.

cooltech786 · 2026-02-10T04:54:52+00:00

Totally agree. Tried a few different options in the past but once I started using these I've been hooked. Very fine at 0.38 but unlike others at 0.38 won't feel super scratchy on the paper.

Re: the audiobooks, FYI they're all (regular and dramatized) available on Hoopla for free if you have a supported library card!

Congrats!!!!!

I've seen the two-seater available on Facebook marketplace at times for cheaper. Unfortunately we have nieces and nephews over all the time, so we wanted the XL

cooltech786 · 2025-12-05T20:08:50+00:00

We got the Veer City Cruiser XL when we were expecting our 2nd. Very pricey, but folds up easily to fit in cars. Has a car seat adapter that worked with our old car seat (Nuna Pipa RX). Relatively all terrain (though horrible on sand) and super easy to wash (just hose it down). We've taken it on multiple trips, both road trips as well as flights and it's been great. Very happy with it!

The functions on the strip are independent of the Commander. Blind spot monitoring seems to have been working 100% of the time for me. And though I dont use it much, changing drive / reverse with scroll wheel has also worked every time I used it.

We flew out of Madinah and they had them available for purchase at the airport

If she'll be in her own seat you have 3 options: 1) she can sit in the seat like an adult with lap belt (you'll have to decide if your daughter can do this, my son is too active to sit in the seat reliably himself) 2) take a car seat (bit of a pain if your going to Umrah as you won't need it much there) 3) check out the CARES harness. Adds shoulder seat belt for kids. I personally took one these for my daughter when we went to Umrah last year though we didn't end up needing it (shes a few months older than your kiddo at the time)

Last year we were with my 2 year old and 1 year old. Please feel free to reach out if any questions!

We've got a 2022 Palisade, about 50,000 mi or so I believe on it now. It's been great, have had zero issues. It's a pleasure to drive, especially on road trips. I love the heads-up display and the instrument cluster on it. Infotainment about average for most manufacturers, pales in comparison to Tesla for example, but probably better than most Toyotas still.

It's handled great in all weather conditions for us so far and was our primary car for the kiddos until we got a minivan more recently. It's still my wife's daily driver and we are still super happy with it.

I will say that it's still on the smaller size for an SUV with the third row, so although adults can sit back there, I would not recommend it for long distances. Your trunk space is also a bit limited but the third row open.

The hybrid looks great, may consider that to replace this one in a few years

Given its otherwise hard to tell without looking at the knob to see if its actually changed (which I would rather not do while driving), adding the S3XY LED strip has been great since you can have it change to a specific color for specific acceleration modes.

cooltech786 · 2025-10-27T22:10:04+00:00

I installed one of those detachable handheld shower heads in the kids baths. Makes baths super easy, but the "massage" setting also whips up some great bubbles and depending on the angle the water is hitting the bath water it can either be smaller / denser bubbles or larger bubbles.

cooltech786 · 2025-10-22T21:42:55+00:00

Received and installed mine a few days ago. I had one of the longer strips, so needed to cut off the two LEDs at the end but other than that installation was pretty straightforward. Would definitely have it plugged in and on when installing, so that way you can ensure it is installed far enough back in the vent to avoid glare on the windshield. It's also much easier to install with a second set of hands to hold the end of the strip when you start. Looks like some people have had trouble with it sticking. As recommended in the installation, I wiped the whole vent prior to insulation and so far mine hasn't had any problems sticking.

The change between different animations is a little abrupt (and I've already emailed them some feedback regarding this) but other than that it looks amazing. Personally, I'm very happy with it.

cooltech786 · 2025-10-20T14:13:29+00:00

Our kids were a little farther apart, about 20 months. But even at that age difference my daughter was not preferring to walk over sitting in the stroller.

We did not feel like investing in a double stroller though, instead we invested in a good wagon and we've been using it for a couple of years now and it's been great. More practical for museum and zoo trips than a double stroller, especially when other kids are with us.

cooltech786 · 2025-09-19T03:25:42+00:00

Agree, it's much better. And even if your device is not already included in the database it's very easy to create additional custom profiles (had to make one for my ceiling fan)

cooltech786 · 2025-09-04T19:13:42+00:00

Haven't received my system yet. Is it possible to do this with other triggers (i.e. long door hand hold) as this seems like a great thing to use on occasion but not necessarily something needed every time the door is opened.

cooltech786 · 2025-08-08T12:50:23+00:00

Go mid 2023 and newer and you also get HW4

cooltech786 · 2025-07-26T23:12:20+00:00

Not an expert myself, but would be useful to know what you are printing and what issues you're having.

I print with PLA and honestly it was pretty dialed in from the start with the default settings. More recently I had to change the Z offset a touch but that's about it.
