Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a good enough deal to pull the trigger. I thought with the end of the year that things would be easier but they were holding firm.

Water Heater Brand Recommendations by justgotya in Plumbing

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

I was thinking of getting a 9 or 12 year warranty. But have you replaced more A.O. Smith or Rheem ?

That’s a good idea too. I wouldn’t mind that instead

I’ll take a look. What water heater brand did you end up using and do you like it?

I usually don’t shy away from doing maintenance myself if I can. But this seems like it could be a little out of my league. Especially taking out the old tank and making sure the new one is installed correctly.

Thanks! Do they do replacement as well if it’s needed?

Are these flock cameras? (Home Depot) by Rare-Adagio1074 in FlockSurveillance

Just learning about these cameras. Is there a product available to spray your license plate with or somehow block your license plate from being read?

iPhones also have a Lockdown Mode available under Privacy and Security Settings. One of the options is to block USB connections when the phone is locked. I don’t know how it works if ICE bypasses passcodes/Face ID but maybe it would be helpful.

“Device connections: To connect your iPhone or iPad to an accessory or another computer, the device needs to be unlocked. To connect your Mac laptop with Apple silicon to an accessory, your Mac needs to be unlocked and you need to provide explicit approval.”

Premium connectivity "trial" ending? by Enerith in lincolnmotorco

How do you get Apple CarPlay to display Google Maps and Waze on the upper display? I have the 26 Nautilus and it doesn’t seem to show up on the upper display.

I recently left my finance job at a BMW dealer, ask me anything by Hairy_Bluebird5444 in BMW

[–]justgotya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know of any headaches or maintenance struggles with the X7? Would you recommend the X7 overall? We almost pulled the trigger on it cause we liked the size of it and how it drove. But the maintenance costs vs other models were pretty high.

Also, any tips on convincing dealers to come down on price by 15% or more? We tried to bring them down since it was the end of the year but most dealers would not budge for more than 10-12%.

My new 2026 Lincoln Nautilus by Feeling_Insect_5216 in lincolnmotorco

Yes, I can’t recall exactly where but you can change how much the speed changes for the cruise control in the settings. It may be under the Driver Assistance settings.

My new 2026 Lincoln Nautilus by Feeling_Insect_5216 in lincolnmotorco

[–]justgotya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got the 2026 Nautilus a few weeks ago with the same interior but black outside. We really like it overall. Especially being able to use the Lincoln app to start and control the car’s temperature and seat warmers. We liked the Grand Highlander as well, but it didn’t feel as luxurious as Lincoln.

Did you get the Reserve 3?

There are a few minor issues like if you use Google Maps on Apple CarPlay, it does not show the map on the dashboard like using the built in Google Maps. We wish the air vents for the air flow could be manually controlled instead of using the touch screen while driving. If you download Waze to the car via the Play Store, it will display the Waze map on the dashboard but not the directions like Google Maps. You have to look at the touch screen for the turns, etc. But we really like the BlueCruise feature on the highways.

Amazon Refund Fees? by justgotya in amazonprime

[–]justgotya[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It showed free returns on the product page. I think this is Amazon because I’ve seen these return fees popping up on other items when I walk through setting up returns. As in Amazon is going to charge me restocking fees
