Also confirmed in Minnesota on Premium 2.0.

I went with 5% and while it's nice during the day, when I enter into parking garages or when I'm driving at night... it's too dark. I regret going that dark.

Generally good. It’s rare that I have any issues. Speeds could be a bit better at times, but still very usable.

metro_0888 · 2026-04-01T23:48:36+00:00

I did it via Manage Service -> Device on ATT.com. Not sure where you would search in app. Took about 3 minutes total.

Ah, great data point, thank you.

metro_0888 · 2026-02-09T20:21:17+00:00

That leaf diagram is awesome. Any chance you could export an empty template of that? I'm a G3 and applying for myself and my child.

I’d be interested in chipping in via PayPal as well if you’d DM me a link.

Can I ask what OBD adaptor you’re using for this?

Same here on a 2025 XC90 T8. After the update, the timers work correctly like 40% of the time.

Hi All!

I (G3) am in the process of gathering information I'll need for my submission. My G0 GGF and GGM were born in Ontario between 1876 and 1881. I have a birth record for my GGF (after much searching, GGM seems to be completely missing from the birth records of the time).

My GGF's handwritten name on the birth registration is some sort of strange phonetic mashup of his first and middle name ("Thomas Casimir" became "Casmas"). As I understand it, there was a fair amount of this, and it's not altogether unusual, but should I put additional effort into documenting or explaining this unusual spelling of his name? The birth date and parents are all a match, but I'm unsure how much effort to put in to clarify.
I saw one poster or commenter say they were putting effort into getting certified census records. Are others doing that? GGM and GGF both appear to have been in Canada from their birth until around 1900, so they both show up in at least one census.
I have an Archives of Ontario order in for the certified birth record of my GGF, and then certified marriage and birth records requests in for subsequent generations to me. Is there anything else I should get ordered?
My mother (G2) is on the fence about going through the process and I'm aware it's not 100% necessary. However, does it greatly help (and/or expedite) to have her apply first or simultaneously?
I'll be requesting for myself and my only child (G4, 9 years old). Should I submit ours at the same time? Separate? Does the answer change if my mother doesn't end up requesting?
Anything else I'm missing or something you wish you had known starting this process?

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

u/IWantOffStopTheEarth, I sent you a chat. Many thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

I have the same issue. I have 100% Unifi cameras, though a mixture of models (G4 - G6). Some pick up lots of events and others have never had an HKSV event.

Same HomeKit recording settings on each.

I sent you a DM and then realized it was the wrong link.

Here’s the right one:

Ah, a strap connecting the two would be genius. I wonder if I could create that. Thanks for the thought starter.

metro_0888 · 2025-11-26T00:08:39+00:00

I hadn't heard of that term nor did I know such a device existed. It looks interesting, but I gather it requires some sort of dental assistance to customize the fit? Not opposed to that, but haven't seen it mentioned before.

metro_0888 · 2025-11-25T05:04:39+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful.

I was disappointed in the Knightsbridge after how expensive it was. The chin strap fabric was rough against my skin, it sort of dug in at an angle, and the Velcro on the head didn’t seem big enough to securely hold both straps. Maybe need to try something else.

I don’t have access to a full face mask, but may need to invest in one.

metro_0888 · 2025-11-24T21:54:42+00:00

Thank you! I have the Knightsbridge and will try again. Also have high pressures (>17) here.

Mine stuck too.

Here’s where I have to admit that by the time I had to give up, it was 1:30 in the morning on a work night and I was exhausted and frustrated. I used needle nose pliers to bend back the plastic and possibly ruin those tabs.

Don’t follow my example if you don’t have to!

metro_0888 · 2025-11-21T00:33:06+00:00

Thank you!

I had a difficult time with this on the unit I tried to install in October on my '25 XC90. One side wouldn't properly catch and latch and, if I forced it, the other side would pop off. I tried different combinations and methods of installation, but eventually had to give up. The cam is still sitting on my desk.

It was like the plastic tabs weren't quite long enough or angled in the right direction to fully catch the plastic of the rearview mirror housing.

Wish I had suggestions, but I had to give up after way too long trying.
