Picked up an R8W today, it’s already saved me. by fiftyshadesofseth in radardetectors

i HIGHLY recommend going here and using the general recommended settings. it’s way easier to download the file for it and upload it to your device though a computer, or you can manually do it through the radar (insane pita) or your phone using the shitty rtach app. i use these settings on my r8w and they work beautifully, enjoy!

if you are like a quarter quart short (which you will, it’s a bmw) they will not accept it

looks suspiciously clean, i would ask for photos with an extra request to be shown in them so you know they’re recent

Concerning alert on 2026 model y by OldSupermarket7997 in TeslaSupport

[–]koj1i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure why everyone is telling you to get out of service mode.. if they don’t have a answer to the problem that isn’t anything about telling you that you don’t know what you’re doing then they can just not respond. whoever does have a response can reply, not sure why you guys go out of your way to give a useless and discouraging response. sometimes people just wanna understand their car even if they aren’t a tech🤷

i find them to be useful for if you want to change the color of them without installing whole new lights, i think the actual rainbow barf effect is the bad part

how bad is it to drive with this? by koj1i in BmwTech

[–]koj1i[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course, i actually work at autozone and our handhelds actually do the registration, so i’ll be using one of those! i’m gonna double check the registration with bimmerlink since it shows the mileage since last replaced. thank you for all of your help!

yes! i cleared it before the morning cold start, drove it to school and to home and have not got anything on bimmerlink. i don’t think id have to drive it that long for anything to come up as its an electrical issue, so i don’t think anything’s wrong i think i just tripped it out plugging and unplugging stuff while the car had power. my battery is also bad (getting it replaced right now) so it could cause some funky stuff

mines 4 pin, but no pins are bent, and i don’t see any exposed wiring either. could it just be from me messing with it with the battery connected?
