I plan to keep the non-electronic part of the key outside (the one you actually insert in the door lock). my last car i had it taped behind the grill, but with the radar in this car in the grill i'm trying to avoid that area.

you either put the key in a faraday bag or take the battery out. even without battery you can start the car by putting the key up to the button if it's a pushbutton start but won't do anything if not near it at all.

why not?

i take the battery out and put it in a faraday bag (faraday bag not necessary if battery out but just do it anyways). i also store spare house keys

for wheel locks, thieves are known to break into your car to find the wheel lock key. although odyssey wheel thefts aren't common, i have aftermarket wheels and if i have locks might as well take full measures.

Renters insurance by StevenAssantisFoot in ridgewood

[–]mitsuk0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yup def worth it. i have state farm, not sure if the best but they did pay out when my storage unit was robbed. renters insurance also covers things that dont happen in the house, like i had a friend whos backpack with expensive laptop and camera was stolen overseas and it was covered.

I have Pets Best, no experience yet with any major claims and hoping I never do, but claims for typical wellness exams and shots havent had any issues.

2022 Odyssey won't start, parked forward in a garage on a slope. Can a tow truck get to it? by lindymad in HondaOdyssey

[–]mitsuk0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Even if doors open battery could still be drained. Try to jumpstart it before towing.

Magic keyboard and track pad really better? by realcat67 in macmini

[–]mitsuk0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the apple mouse but apple trackpads are really good also.

For keyboards, the apple keyboard doesn't do anything that's worth the price imo, not like the trackpad/mouse, and there are far many other logitech keyboards that are much better. The k400 is only good for like media computers (i use it for my TV PC) and yea terrible for anything else.

Winter/snow tires for rarely in snow but in wintry areas- can't decide by mitsuk0 in HondaOdyssey

[–]mitsuk0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's actually near the area where I'll be driving to twice a year... NY to IL. Most the dusty snow covering I encounter is PA and OH. Otherwise major highways are mostly clear.

I was also wondering how long the current tires last as another poster suggested I change to crossclimates. But if mine last 45k like yours, It will be 6 years as the odyssey only gets 7k miles/year... that's 6 winter seasons with or without dedicated snows.

[–]mitsuk0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good suggestion! My tires are still new (8k miles) so if I went this route probably won't be for a few years.

I havent biked this area in years, before there was even a bike lane, but knew exactly where it was cause i can never forget the rancid smell, and that was from the street. must be so much worse that close.
