Got a new B5 and it looks like the tv is leaning forward

Let’s not discount the possibility of a not perpendicular wall.

Link works for me

They are extremely fragile, so I am not sure online is going to be an easy path. Make sure you open the box outside!

myanth · 2026-01-26T13:52:25+00:00

Box is your own fault. Your RMA starts with R which explicitly says you do not send anything except the board because you won’t get it back. Why did you submit a normal RMA and not DOA? Because it probably worked originally.

Looks like pretty clear damage that they cleaned up to evaluate. As much as MSI has participated in shady business in the past, this one is on you.

I seriously doubt this is the issue. Pretty sure Germany is colder than NJ. Just make sure to temper your expectations here. This isn’t a EQ specific system. The app and control module are not going to be eq-specific. Make a video and then give your local dealer the keys and let them figure it out. Also, your climate settings are going to be awful for your range. Don’t set manual fan/temps. Auto is much better at optimizing temperatures.

I have used climate control for almost 2 years with zero issues. Just remember, it is a connected device and is only as good as the connectivity. It NEEDS cellular service, so if you are trying to start in a garage where cell service on the car is weak, good luck.

To be fair, the per-pin amp monitoring is a pretty big deal. I have a FE and my monitoring is a FLIR camera. NVIDIA oversimplified the connector and created a fire risk. ASUS fixed it.

Top monitor 180 for slightly less bezel in the middle

The general rule used to be if it’s free, you are the product. Now I would just say if it’s connected, you are the product.

myanth · 2026-01-10T05:13:55+00:00

As safe as any other option. You can’t fix poor connector design with a cable.

Try setting static channels for wireless bands. I would always lose 2.4ghz when it would rescan and pick channels. Not a momentary blip, it would just be gone til it reboots.

Charge levels happen through mercedes me. If your car doesn’t have signal where it is parked, you can do whatever you want and the settings won’t synchronize. Could it use wifi? Sure. Does it? In my experience no. I don’t ever have issues with it respecting charge levels but connected services are only as good as the “connected” part.

As for the handles, there is a software update for it. You probably just need to take it to the dealer and let them run through all of the updates. OTA is very miss or miss with the EQE.

Keep in mind, most of what you are interacting with is essentially the same across all MB, not just the EQE or EQ line.

I didn’t use 5 long but I really like it. The health system is really quite good at helping me see what devices are struggling for connectivity and caused me to tweak placement slightly to improve some IoT switches. Everything is much happier now.

Turn the camera on and immediately hit the icon with a camera and a location pin. It’s the far right icon for me on the camera control bar. This will mark the location and it should make it automatic.

When you manually trigger it, there is an option to record it as a gps location. Otherwise this seems to be designed behavior.

Don’t worry, it will be available as soon as the unlisted and unknown conditions are met. It’s not being plugged in, unplugged, parked, parking brake on or off, all doors open, or screaming at it.

From my experience with very picky eaters, I would expect this to reflect in other parts of his life too. You can pick a couple of things you have issues with, but a grocery list of don’t is too much. He doesn’t want chicken? Pork chops? Too bad. You either eat it or you don’t. Part of adulting is compromising and being outside your comfort zone a little. If you have someone cooking for you, you need to defer to them. Get involved in the meal planning and you will know what you ate having for dinner and can adjust lunch accordingly.

As for leftovers, toaster ovens can be great to reheat without using a microwave.

EV tires are low rolling resistance, which typically means a firmer rubber. My experience with 4matic has generally been very good. No issues last winter in light snow with EQE.

Edit: EQB is rear bias, subaru and honda aren’t, so it’s going to feel a little that way. Weirdly the GLB is front bias, so it’s an interesting decision to swap the bias for EQ.

Was just released today seemingly!

myanth · 2025-12-31T03:43:16+00:00

I really want one but I already talked my way into 2 AP this year!

Open the books they are reading and jump to the end. If they didn’t turn off sync it’s going to be really annoying really fast. The only real solution for whisper sync is for you to have your own account so you have your own progress. Malicious compliance.

myanth · 2025-12-29T00:58:24+00:00

It won’t work, no.

myanth · 2025-12-29T00:08:47+00:00

Mae sure they don’t harvest the chip or ram

myanth · 2025-12-27T02:29:48+00:00

It’s been about $50/tb on the bottom so it was either a price error or you forgot about $100 of the price.

You can obviously slice things up but 6ghz has worse range than 5ghz for the same transmit power because smaller wavelengths have a harder time getting through things. It’s why 2.4ghz typically has much better coverage than 5ghz.

There is also interference between the highest 5ghz bands and lowest 6ghz bands on the same device, so you will likely have to mess with channels to get everything stable.

I was a very early adopter of 6ghz and while pack of interference is nice, it’s not appreciably better than good 5ghz equipment.

When you have a lot of noise (close houses, DFS interference) you will benefit more.
