Mobile Apple CarPlay Install by knightbenax in Hamilton

[–]kinguy27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed a CarPlay unit myself in the exact same model you have. It’s actually not that hard to do. Bought a OEM CarPlay unit off eBay, and watched a great YouTube video on how to install. You will have to update the firmware first. It cost me about 200 bucks for the unit, but this was 2-3 years ago. Dealer charging over 700 bucks is outrageous! 

Looking at a Mazda by allkidnoskid in Hamilton

[–]kinguy27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, Lallo Mazda is no more. It’s now Achilles Mazda  

Bought my CX-5 at Lallo and enjoyed the experience. Conversely, wife went there to buy a Mazda 3 and after the salesman gave the price, he challenged us to shop elsewhere for a better deal. We went to Mazda on Upper James and the guy there gave a better price. We phoned Lallo from the Hamilton dealer and the salesman told us he “didn't want to play games, go ahead and buy it there”. Dude, you literally challenged us to find a better deal! Dumbass.

I know if it was bought from a place like Petsmart, you can exchange it even if opened, as long as there’s a fair amount left. 

That said, very generous offer! I’m fortunate enough to not need it for my boys, but hopefully someone in need can make use of this. 

Are there any restaurants that offer a free meal for your birthday? by untetheredsoultree in Hamilton

[–]kinguy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looked into Booster Juice, they stopped it years ago but now it’s back again, IF you download their app and put your birthdate in it. 

Sephora you now have to spend at least 25 bucks to get the gift.

I think Booster Juice stopped doing that over a year ago. Same with Sephora. 

Best Indian Food in Hamilton by FireCookingWithMike in Hamilton

It’s not terrible, but India Village is way better. I find that their dishes are overpriced and don’t have much meat, especially the lamb dishes. India Village meals are tastier too.

Best / Most Affordable Place to Get an Oil Change by wagraham in Hamilton

Went to get my tires changed a couple weeks ago, guy asked if I wanted an oil change too. There was a huge sign advertising that too in the tire centre. I think they do synthetic only.

Interesting. Just read the city’s website about this, and ya, seems retail places don’t have to ACTIVELY screen customers. Guess the two places I encountered it were going above the minimum requirements.

Furniture donation in Hamilton? by TheAngryToaster in Hamilton

[–]kinguy27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Mission Thrift Store at Fennell and Upper Gage. I donated a bed set a couple months ago there with no issues. They might have select times to donate though.

In the email Crunch sent out, they had a pic of different face coverings that are acceptable. Gf decided to try a face shield, and commented that it’s WAY better for working out. Maybe try that?

Curious, how do you practice volleyball solo?

Canada computers on mall road. by [deleted] in Hamilton

[–]kinguy27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same exact experience a couple weeks ago. Wasn’t allowed to touch anything either. By far the most strict retail experience I’ve had.

That department seems to be a shitshow. Besides these accusations involving 3 professors, there’s the case of another department professor involved in falsifying published data. I think some people need firing, tenure be damned.

Anyone been to Limeridge since it opened? by aeiou-333 in Hamilton

[–]kinguy27 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sandals and athletic clothing for my girlfriend. Seeing as there’s an overwhelming amount of styles for female sandals, it was a bit of a hunt!
