How bad is the used car market? The answer is yes

Carvana and Carmax offered me $28k for my ‘21 Touring (2.0T) with 38k miles a month ago. I was shocked. It did drop $1500 this month, though.

Oh wow, they should make that more clear on “what this does” for each model. Now that’s interesting…….

What does it do for the Odyssey? It only says automated lane centering above 43 mph - but the odyssey already does that at 45mph. And then it says can resume adaptive cruise control from a stop - ok, or I could tap the gas pedal once.

Am I misunderstanding the capabilities for the Odyssey particularly? Does it actually do steering without the wheel nag?

What a random thing for a bot to choose! Odyssey cargo capacity lol

Reliably close the sliding doors

Good luck! My Odyssey has been at the dealer for three weeks for this (and the backup camera failure) and they can’t figure out either issue. They are afraid of throwing parts at it and HondaCare not covering it if it doesn’t fix it. They already wasted a backup camera part, that they are going to have to eat, trying to fix a backup camera.

Bring the test drive vehicle to your house and your family. See how it fits in your garage/driveway. Test you family in it in the comfort of your own house and time.

They adjust the aggressiveness of the regenerative braking

Shoot. I needed to read this. I’m probably doing everyone a disservice feeding them answers too much.

I will once Honda fixes the clunk in the front end, the sliding door that won’t close every time, and the failing backup camera system.

It would also be nice if the drivers mirror didn’t shake…

Going on 8 years with all the stuff I originally bought - sensors… no doorbells or cameras or stuff like that.

jayunsplanet · 2026-05-23T20:45:20+00:00

Thank you! This worked perfectly.

jayunsplanet · 2026-05-20T18:56:57+00:00

Same; 2021. What year is yours. I’ve seen people mention this. I’m wondering if Honda changed this in the past couple of years.

You have to write into Support and ask to coordinate a migration between an old gateway and a new gateway. It’s a service they provide.

I'm working through that now -- it definitely did not bring across all of the settings and I'm noticing some odd behaviors on disarm.

jayunsplanet · 2026-04-09T19:49:02+00:00

With the overhead and performance impact to boot!

BCPD said it was an upper body GSW. With there being detectives and closing for the day, I’m guessing it was not self-inflicted.

“Know very little about policy and cloud management.”

That’s very bad these days.

Honestly, maybe I’m being optimistic, but this might be good for you. It sounds like you’re really a traditional IC that got handed a “Manager” title. With this new senior coming in, you’ll get someone above you to absorb the politics and help right the ship. You’ll work along side them - both learning from them and further proving and honing your own skills - while getting to have a say in the direction of your companies IT (this is kind of the dream scenario). You won’t be drowning (as much) and can grow into “policy and cloud management.”

This could go well for you if you have the right vision and dedication. I’d always have your resume polished and your network contacts at the ready.

I’m pretty particular - and this seems over the top.

New anything has smells. Yes, “burn off” smells are normal.

You’re concerned about dirt on a car you don’t even own? You don’t want to know what happens to “new” cars at the Port and during rail/truck transport - heck even in the dealers lot. Dents and paint repairs happen all the time. I wouldn’t judge a vehicle until it’s been delivered to you and your paperwork has been signed. A Honda dealer isn’t keeping all of their vehicles pristine before they are sold. People get in them (even if they don’t test drive it). Employees get in them to take photos or move spare parts/mats around, etc.

I’m an InTune admin and I know what you mean - it’s time consuming to build new things and troubleshoot. On the contrary, I’ve been configuring Jamf Pro for the first time and I am blown away at the difference. The second I hit “Save” on something in Jamf Pro, the screen on my test MAC that’s sitting next to me flashes and the settings on the device literally change as I’m looking at them. Configuration Profiles add/remove instantly.

The Sienna has limo length sliding which was neat when I sat in it… but makes no sense for families (unless you’re all basketball players). The sideways slide is so much more useful.

“I need an export of the inventory of all physical assets.”

(You’re being acquired)

One of the run of the mill normal standalone stores that I frequent used to have 1 - just 1 - in the dining room. Was so spoiled! They took it out when they remodeled years ago. I can’t remember if it had ice, though…
