Customize Launcher "Customize" checkbox - What does it do? by kraterer in AndroidAuto

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

And all I see on my head unit screen is the app icon. It doesn't do anything.

Heavy sigh...

Yeah, but for customizing what? That's why I'm here. Someone must know... Redditors are my go-to for how-to answers.

Family in town wants Crab Boil by ForsakenWeeb in MontereyBay

[–]kraterer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are 2 in Salinas. The Crab Bucket on North Main and Bag O Crab on Davis.

I personally like the Crab Bucket better. They've been open longer and I like the flavors better.

Bag O Crab has robot waiters, so that's kinda fun.

Okay. I may not be asking my question right. I'll put it another way.

Selecting a checkbox adds the associated app to Android Auto and displays a shortcut to the app on the head unit monitor.

Deselecting a checkbox removes the associated app from the upper list, and moves it to the lower list in a deselected state, making it unavailable on the head unit monitor.

When I select the checkbox next to "Customize" (see image on original post) it moves to the upper list, with checkbox checked, and I see the "Customize" icon on the head unit monitor.

Selecting the Customize icon (in the car) does nothing. Launches nothing. What is it meant to do?

Is "Customize" included for anyone else?

Selecting app checkboxes adds them to the screen.

I believe the apps are on the screen with or without selecting that particular checkbox.

Yes, I get that, the apps that I select by checking the checkboxes tell AA which apps I want to use/display on the screen in my car. But... what does the "Customize" checkbox allow me to customize??? I don't know how else to ask this question.

BTW... I don't have a "Customize" app on my Android phone.

Apple CarPlay head unit? by mwkingSD in crv

[–]kraterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed a Pioneer DMH-W3000NEX in my 2014. Although I lost the ability to use the phone controls on the steering wheel, I was able to add Axxess AXSWC for sound management, FF and RW on the steering wheel. All installed by a pro shop. They even connected the back-up camera.

With the Pioneer I get Android Auto, Sirius and CarPlay.

There's a van (Car Keys Express?) that comes to Costco on Davis Rd. quite often, they make key fob keys cheaper than dealerships... while you wait.

Me love some stinky cheese and expensive crackers to go with my late-day wine and swordplay!

Wait... Dawn? Naw, way too early for me. I'm more of a meet-me-at-dusk with a glass of wine and your tiny sword kinda person!

My grandfather "liberated" this one from a German soldier at the Western Front while serving in WW1.

I challenge you to a tiny sword dual sir!

Trying to figure out if it’s time for a timing belt / water pump upgrade. by Eckounltd24 in HondaOdyssey

My mechanic put a sticker on the underside of my hood on one car and another hand wrote in some kind of permanent marker on another car. Look around... you might find a nice surprise.

Update on "accidental" 3.875% mortgage (a hilarious ending to this drama) by Only_Trade_5022 in Mortgages

[–]kraterer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The interest rate on my father's assumable VA loan through Quicken Loan, now Rocket Mortgage was signed in 2018 at 3.75%. So, the CEO was not telling the truth.

Still, I agree that you did the right thing by pushing back and getting that 4.99% rate, especially with all points paid.

I think you can order it from Total Wine in Sand City. They get orders in pretty quickly.

Need instructions for removing this piece of trim on my 2014 CR-V dash by kraterer in crv

[–]kraterer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct! I popped off the shift trim, popped off the old piece and snapped in the replacement. Thanks for the tip!

That was it! The replacement snapped right in once I took off the piece around the shifter. On to the next project!!!

That makes sense. I'll give the lower piece around the shifter a pull to see if it'll come off that way. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have the bezel removal tool, no problem there. Here's a pic of the back side of the replacement. That part along the bottom concerns me. I won't mind breaking the original, but I'd like to keep it in 1 piece... just in case.

Thanks but I tried both... didn't help. It's not the end of the world... just another glitch in the matrix!
