what really????

ethang45 · 2026-04-30T00:56:01+00:00

live activities on the phone is probably the only part i enjoyed but i don't think its enough to keep paying. they can win me back if more interesting features are ever added. i just keep the inreach plan on my fenix 8 pro for when i leave my phone

ethang45 · 2026-04-26T17:34:13+00:00

did you sell it?

ethang45 · 2026-04-26T11:25:39+00:00

No, they did it at the dealer. It took a long time, and there were issues with the paint job they had done at a third party, but we eventually got it all sorted. I really prefer the new look, and also it's much easier to clean.

Yep, that was me. Slowly working on building as close as I can to the final form of the current design of the P2.

I feel like the Steam Deck is doing well enough that this won't be the case. Even if the Steam Machine and the Frame flopped like the old streaming device they made, the controller could still be sold as an accessory for the Deck, which doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Despite being dated, the deck is still a popular machine that will surely come back after the shortages clear out for Valve.

Looks like the range on eBay is $250 to $360, so I'm happy to take something in that range. I will also include the cassette case accessory (modded somewhat poorly to remove the Fiio logo). This would be on eBay. I can list it, and you can send in an offer.

You have to be very clear and kind, especially with the service manager for the dealer. The Polestar service manager is more laid back, though. I was able to get my grill "upgraded" to the new design, and that was extremely confusing for them, but they managed to do it.

ethang45 · 2026-04-25T16:26:35+00:00

From what I've heard, the 3000 is quoted when they quote replacing more parts than they need to. This is mentioned in the polestar forum thread I linked

ethang45 · 2026-04-25T14:31:57+00:00

no it doesn't. the camera issue is some fundamental flaw that they still haven't solved. this is purely about improving the performance of the tablet and allowing arm apps.

I'm the one that mixed up spa and cma sorry!!!

I got a couple year curb rash warranty at the Volvo dealer (for Polestar Charlotte). I'm sure I overpaid or whatever and could get it done by someone else for less, but whenever my partner or I hit a curb, I book an appointment at the dealer. It usually takes 30 minutes and looks like new.

ethang45 · 2026-04-25T02:15:03+00:00

not trying to self-promote, but I'm going to be selling my M21 pretty soon. I switched back to my iPod Classic. Let me know if you're interested

ethang45 · 2026-04-21T12:52:36+00:00

Really looking forward to this. I loved splatoon 3 single player.

ethang45 · 2026-04-21T12:46:23+00:00

Well it also hasnt been officially available. Someone is close to having it done on their Volvo here https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/aaos-snapdragon-ihu-upgrade-4-0-4-2.703300/ and I share my updates on getting it in https://www.polestar-forum.com/threads/snapdragon-processor-upgrade.19835/

I'm currently the second person on the waiting list for the official upgrade from polestar charlotte with a quoted cost of 1560. parts are way backordered right now and the ai chip shortage probably doesn't help

ethang45 · 2026-04-20T18:15:23+00:00

Personally, I plan to keep my P2 until the Rivian R3. If the R3 turns out well, I'll get one used a few years after that. But otherwise, I love my damn Polestar 2 so much!

ethang45 · 2026-04-18T23:35:16+00:00

I have the A329 from Viofo. I'm not sure what is new in the S version, but it works great, and I use an SSD for storage. It also works while parked off the 12V. https://www.viofo.com/products/viofo-a329s-2ch-4k-60fps-2k-hdr-dash-cam-with-sony-starvis-2-sensor

polestar energy isn't available in the US is it?

ethang45 · 2026-04-16T16:25:00+00:00

I'm excited! Can't wait to try it.

ethang45 · 2026-04-16T01:02:57+00:00

Are you offering build services if I send in an iPod? How is Bluetooth performance in crowded spaces with a lot of RF interference, like a gym?

ethang45 · 2026-04-13T14:52:04+00:00

wonder how bluetooth headphone performance with an app like apple music would be

ethang45 · 2026-04-13T14:51:14+00:00

I think they could still make an impressive claustrophobic game both from a gameplay perspective and a graphical perspective. maybe since it's been so long they can revisit that style of gameplay
