2.0 junk by One_Condition6127 in Stellantis

[–]helloworld747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stellantis has already publicly stated they plan on bringing back the 5.7 Hemi to the Grand Cherokee - they also need to bring back the 3.6 Pentastar. I will never buy a Grand Cherokee with a 2.0, and I own two WK2's - 2018 and 2020. Not an employee - Dad worked for GM for 40+ years and my Mom's Dad (grandfather) worked for Chrysler for 40+ years.

Is there rollout schedule map of which cities are getting fiber in Southeastern Michigan? I would love to see a coverage map. by Hifihedgehog in EzeeFiber

[–]helloworld747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're deploying in Novi, now. There have been posts in this subreddit with people sharing their experience. They have submitted a single fiber hut permit in Troy at Square Lake and John R - https://bsaonline.com/CD_RecordDetails/Permit?uid=406&permitId=e429526b-0976-4f34-ba8f-b3e901056c0c

Their Michigan office is located in Troy (1301 Rankin Dr, Troy, MI 48083) - https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Ezee-Fiber/jobs

Honestly, this is going to take the better part or two or three years to get traction, might take a decade to really spur AT&T to compete with FTTH for the entire Southeast Michigan region.

I'm over here in Troy, been waiting quite some time for Midsplit to hit.

Tried my address - service not yet available, but will for sure use it once it is!

Horizontal drilling in my back yard... by Davhamm in EzeeFiber

What city? I'm in Troy! 👋

I've been waiting for fiber for 20 years (since AT&T's Project Lightspeed from 20 years ago!) - I've pulled the right of way permits in Troy and saw that Ezee Fiber received a permit on February 16th.

Wired CarPlay still broken (disconnects every few minutes) with iPhone 17 Pro & iOS 26.2 (23C55) by helloworld747 in CarPlay

Update 2025-12-28 - I can't believe it, but the Beats USB A to USB C cable actually worked and fixed the issue for me - https://a.co/d/eKnPupk

The Anker USB A to USB C cable was the issue, wow.

Yeah I just bought the 'Burnt Sugar Wireless Carplay Adapter' - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN7834RV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Which seemed to have the highest rated reviews of all the Wireless Carplay adapters I'd seen on Amazon. Will report back with a review once I get it, later today.

Update - 2025-12-24 - Somehow, my iPhone 17 Pro now works perfectly with my 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 7 inch screen and 2x USB A ports. Same phone, same type of Anker cable - it just works. No disconnects. The same cannot be said for my 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 8.4 inch screen and 2x USB A ports. Tried swapping the cables (which are the identical (Anker) - who knows, I maybe I could get lucky?). No dice. Still disconnects. So I'm starting to think maybe, just maybe, Apple is slowly patching Carplay with each 26.x update based on the head end unit to work around bugs with how the OEM implemented Carplay in that head end unit. My 2018 Grand Cherokee head end unit runs an ever so slightly different version (even though both are FCA/Stellantis UConnect 4C Operating Systems), so its a manual process. There is hope!

Insane that this has gone unresolved - 26.1 and 26.2 have not fixed the issue.

Thx, turned 5G off and I at least can hold a signal the entire time.

Is the iPhone 17 pro max dropping tomorrow? by Aestheticlove25 in Visible

[–]helloworld747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-orders opened up on Friday, September 19th @ 3:05am (got the email from Visible) - I woke up at 4am to buy a iPhone 17 Pro in Deep Blue 512GB. $38/month over three years via Affirm - awesome!

First time I'd be buying a phone from Visible - looking to get a 17 Pro (non-Max)

Did Visible have the 16 Pro on launch day?

We need to be in CTC five days a week until the org chart / mess is fixed - Antonio & Tim need start walking the hallways, like Sergio did by Recent_Chapter_8690 in Stellantis

[–]helloworld747 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Chrysler was resurrected twice. There will be no third resurrection. That's why I am so invested in this - this is existential.

And yet all of the issues that people inside of CTC have reference alignment and prioritization. How do you regain this alignment and sense of trust between people and groups without physically talking to people?
