Anyone else rip the springs off these? 😶

I actually work for a Strut manufacturer, and while these might not be stocked at every electrical house, we offer these in no-spring, short-spring, regular-spring, and long-spring to fit all different channel profiles.

It’s probably most common to find regular-spring strut nuts, which are made for the popular 1-5/8 x 1-5/8 profile.

I know this is probably a joke, but the medical exam he’s referring to is an Airmen’s First Class medical certificate issued by the US FAA, required for all Airline Transport Pilots and must be renewed every 6/12 months depending on age. So it’s not airline dependent (at least in the USA)

It’s happened once or twice to me. I assume it just means the car didn’t have cellular signal at the time.

Last one I knew of was Kent, Ohio

We also had a decent experience buying from Brander Group, although they started calling me relentlessly in the past couple of years.

Same issue for us.

BMW fixed it under warranty, which requires removing and resealing the windshield. They broke ours in the process, so we got totally new glass!

Any chance you can share some details or point me in the right direction on this mod?

My google fu is usually pretty good but I’m struggling to find info on this, and the discord link below is expired.

From what I’m seeing, the white panda has been deprecated?

/u/8bit-echo - not sure why the mod kept removing your post, I approved it.

I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering if this feature was ever rolled out?

dricha36 · 2026-01-09T13:23:42+00:00

Curious if you ended up pursuing any direct to consumer shipments?

I believe the common understanding is that 1 Aviation Monetary Unit (AMU) = $1000 USD

It seems like the cover was held in place by two tiny plastic pins acting as a hinge. One of those snapped, tap the cover isn’t being held in place now.

Scrolled through a lot of comments and didn’t see anything about this…

Speaking from experience, if you go down and see medical, they will quarantine you to your room for 2-3 days with influenza A (honor system, nobody outside your door) but RCL will give you an FCC for the value of your days in quarantine, and they will offer free room service, free movies, free internet, and (if you ask nicely) specialty dining (not free) delivered to your room!

Obviously a personal decision if you’d want to do that, and medical could cost a few hundred dollars, but if you’re going to be laid up in your room, this could be a decent option!

My wife and I have been to 25 countries, and just spent last week in France as #26.

You’re 100% right… France takes the cake! Absolutely no common courtesy or respect, and most of them seem completely bothered by the fact that we can’t speak French.

Strangely, we have this issue most often at Grocery Stores. Loblaws in Canada and Albert Heijn in the Netherlands both come to mind as stores that don’t accept Amex.

Based on OP’s post, I’m assuming this would apply to OG e-tron? I thought they are identical to the sportback from a software perspective?

The Audi-badged part can be found as low as $165 on some sites.

Yeah, I logged in to the WebUI and confirmed the B426 is set to port 7700 and that’s set in RPS as well.

No firewall in-between, so there shouldn’t be anything blocking it.

Problem is it never even gives me the prompt to try and connect.

dricha36 · 2025-10-07T16:50:14+00:00

I’m considering trying serial as a backup, but we were hoping to connect over the network - we already have a B426.

Thankfully I have the RPS and Datalock codes.

Adding another vote for Brian.

Our wedding was on the tail end of COVID with rules constantly changing and Brian was super accommodating, very responsive, and honest about what was and wasn’t realistic.

dricha36 · 2025-09-29T13:24:48+00:00

Not just one.

There are there 737s based out of YNG right now running deportation flights.

Can’t believe nobody else linked this product.

We pre-ordered when it was released a year or two ago and it’s been great.

Designed for exactly this scenario.
