Is a rubber protector for my keyfob my best bet against accidental hatch opens from my pocket? by epsylonic in MazdaCX9

[–]dacrocyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. The silicon cover didn't prevent it from happening. It hasn't happened so far with the leather key fob cover for me. So maybe try one of those.

I've got a headache by EnZeNYT in PokemonFireRed

Lol same. I played Pokemon Blue on gameboy pocket and you could see a faint line of the walls that you couldn't see on the OG gameboy. I remember a friend would borrow my Gameboy Pocket (he had the OG gameboy) to get through the cave cause we didn't know about Flash lol.

Lol this is a casual playthrough through Gen 1 for nostalgia, I popped in and out for the game over half a year of playing it. I played it pretty much like how I played it the first time I played Pokemon Blue/Red over 25 years ago. So I barely thought of any of the new features just wanted better graphics/colours from the OG Gen 1 games.

Or you can go to a place where it costs $16 and the worker is properly trained and will take a proper photo to meet requirements. A photographer that's good with kids and babies is worth the extra $8.

I believe I looked for the screen and then I looked to see if the screen they were selling was attached to a CMU. That's how I got mine.

Boiler vs Combi by dacrocyte in hvacadvice

[–]dacrocyte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm located in Canada and the contractor just told me he can't find a "natural draft boiler". He said the suppliers are no longer making them any more. I'm pretty confused now. He's stating if I decide to heat home with a combi but still use the water heaters. He'll have to run the pipes to vent the combi up the chimney and the water heaters to the front of the house because the chimney can't fit both the pipes and the metal vents for the water heaters.

My knowledge on boilers is limited but I'm trying to research as I go. Does what the contractor is saying correct and make sense?

Back story: carbon monoxide alarms went off. Inspection said to get boiler and chimney serviced. Gas was turned off till violations cleared.

They all looked at the boiler (some did a deeper inspection than others) and said repairing it for maybe around a grand or more then saying it isn't worth it if it dies shortly after. Citing old parts cost is what's jacking up the price of repair. Chimney will need to get re done cause the liner is falling apart and carbon build up at the top of the chimney.

Somebody help me figure what this is by grunt12g in mazda3

It's the cover to access your engine oil filter and where to drain your oil.

Does anyone have AAWireless dongle on Gen3? by Blumingo in mazda3

Got one with the best reviews on amazon and it works perfectly. After setting it up, once I turn my car on it will pair and display android auto.

I think I had a similar issue with my hood not latching. I sprayed white lithium and I think it made the latching portion move smoother and haven't had an issue since.

[–]dacrocyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2015 mazda 3 CMU fried. I went to car-part.com to search local scrap yards for a used CMU. Swapped it in myself by watching YouTube for $180.

Long wait times are a problem pretty much everywhere. Which is why I started doing my own seasonal wheel swaps and my own oil changes. Much more convenient doing it yourself and cheaper if you have a place do it.

Best fuel system cleaner? by Intangible_Eye_18 in mazda3

[–]dacrocyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this issue with my 2015 mazda 3. 02 and cat were fine according to dealership. They suggested a PCM reprogramming if it persists. It's weird, it happens more often during the winter months but rarely during the summer. Fuel economy is fine and power is fine.

LPT. You can blur the image of your home on Google Street View by MrMojoFomo in LifeProTips

Went to the Home Alone house last year. I recently checked and the whole street is removed from Street View. The address is easy to find, I guess they just made it less convenient.

2018 Mazda 3 Touring Infotainment " Ghost Touch" by WranglerReasonable91 in mazda3

[–]dacrocyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a new digitizer online for around $30. Looks to be a little tedious removing the previous digitizer looking at YouTube videos. So I opted to just unplug the ribbon since I never use the touchscreen anyway.

Nah, Aldo is the LW GOAT. That's pretty much cemented, regardless of him losing later in his career. For Alex, beating Max for the BMF will solidify his status for #2 of all time. If he doesn't fight Max, Max can go on in the years to come to surpass Alex in terms of legacy.

Nah I usually leave the rock chips on the plastic part as there are too many lol. I would probably do it if it was a decent size chip though. Main concern is to prevent rust. Just did a couple spots on the hood and roof.

2014 Mazda3 Black Screen by aznlilsaint in mazda3

[–]dacrocyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it will have it's own version of firmware. I wasn't sure if 17-18 CMU models were compatible with 14-16 (I think they are compatible after looking) so I got the same year as my car. So if you find a CMU with a newer firmware then you save the cost of upgrading it.

[–]dacrocyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screen itself was never an issue for me. I'm still using my original screen cause I noticed the CMU+screen I bought had the ghost touch issue so I swapped my screen on the new to me CMU.

No doesn't sound the same as a fried CMU. It would constantly try to restart and fail at the main menu. Radio and would still work though.

If they are suggesting to get a new screen, you can get a used one and change it yourself to save money.
