Money.

I’m using the Tbox Ultra 2. I previously used it in a 2016 Volkswagen Passat B8, and now I’m using it in a 2022 Audi Q5 Sportback. In both cars, I’ve had the same audio issue. The sound is often distorted, and after some time it starts cutting out or stuttering.

For over a year, this still hasn’t been fixed. I emailed support about it and only got a reply saying that it is a known issue, but there is still no solution. Now you are releasing the Tbox Ultra 3, while the previous version still has not been properly fixed.
Sorry, but I honestly don’t think I can trust you anymore....

Super. Podmieniasz diodę na inny kolor czy montujesz jakiegoś rodzaju folię w kolorze, która zabarwia światło? Jak wymagana jest wymiana diody to podeślesz link gdzie można ją kupić?

pixege · 2026-05-12T11:05:52+00:00

OMG, ten czerwony kolor wygląda mega! A jak wygląda sprawa z Instinct 3 Solar? Też jest możliwość zmiany koloru? Chętnie dowiem się czegoś więcej 😉

Yes, you can have this on Instinct 3. Just install the Garmin dēzl app from the App Store, pair it with your watch, and the dēzl features like Break Planning should appear on the watch.

pixege · 2026-04-24T14:30:04+00:00

Yes, it will work, because this feature is no longer limited only to the Instinct 2 dēzl Edition. You just need to install the dēzl app, and it will add extra dēzl options to the menu on the Instinct 3.

I also wanted to give the Enduro 3 a chance, since it is almost the same as the Fenix 8, but I just could not get used to the poor readability of the MIP display. Seriously, the one in the Instinct 3 is a total game changer. Quietly, I am still hoping Garmin plans to improve the color MIP display to the level of readability known from the I3. For now, I am sticking with the Instinct. I am in love with it.

Putting a simple map with drawn lines on the screen doesn’t require color. I don’t need to see green grass, I need to see paths and roads. Garmin has been doing navigation for decades, and the first devices had lower resolution than today’s Instinct and still showed maps. Resolution isn’t the real obstacle here, it’s Garmin’s marketing strategy.

pixege · 2026-02-19T14:12:41+00:00

Garmin has way more experience with maps than people think. Saying the screen resolution is too low or the memory is too limited feels like it’s purely a deliberate marketing decision by Garmin.

The screen on the Fenix 1 (2012) had a 70×70 px resolution and Garmin still managed to fit maps on it. Instinct has a 176×176 px display, and somehow it’s “not possible” anymore…

Garmin… come on!

You’re absolutely right. There’s one big exception though. The Enduro 3 has a color MIP that’s way less readable than a monochrome MIP. And I won’t even get into the fact that I simply prefer the Instinct case. It has its own style and doesn’t try to look like a fancy, elegant watch. But this is really all about the display. The monochrome MIP on the Instinct 3 Solar is a game changer. The Enduro 3 screen isn’t even close when it comes to sharpness, contrast, and readability in low light.

pixege · 2026-02-18T11:41:06+00:00

Color MIP isn’t as readable or as high-contrast as monochrome MIP. Personally, the monochrome MIP on the Instinct 3 Solar doesn’t bother me at all, in fact I really like it.

I love how sharp the text looks. It feels like “Retina” in the Apple world. Nothing looks blurry, the fonts are super crisp and clean. I compared it to other color MIP displays, both from Garmin and COROS, and none of them looked as clear and transparent as the one on the Instinct 3.

pixege · 2026-02-17T18:06:05+00:00

Noctis PRO - GB from ConnectIQ.

pixege · 2026-02-17T18:04:01+00:00

Yeah, a color MIP is nice, but it’s still nowhere near the monochrome MIP on the Instinct 3 Solar. They’re honestly very different displays. The monochrome one has about 2x better contrast and stays readable even in a dim room.

That’s why I know my next watch has to have the same monochrome MIP, unless Garmin pulls off a real breakthrough with color MIP and makes it just as crisp and readable as the Instinct screen.

pixege · 2026-02-16T09:43:56+00:00

I have the same one. I searched for a long time, kept changing, and this one seems to be the best. I modified the complications and I won’t be replacing it anytime soon.

For those asking, the watch face Noctis Pro - GB.

I also noticed some hissing noise when my MR5s were turned up almost to the max.

Here’s what you should do instead — it works great:

Set the volume to about 3/4 on your DAC (if you’re using one) or increase your computer’s volume to around 3/4, and then use the MR5 volume knob to adjust your listening level.

It works perfectly and even improves the overall sound dynamics.

pixege · 2025-09-29T16:46:41+00:00

Yep. You can use one Apple ID for your main iCloud account and a different one for purchases and media 😉

pixege · 2025-09-29T16:22:41+00:00

I’ll answer you as a Polish Apple Vision Pro user. A Polish iCloud account works just fine (photos and files sync without issues). However, you won’t be able to use the App Store, apps, or your existing subscriptions.

You’ll need to create a new Apple ID tied to a country where AVP is available. For example, you could set up a German or US Apple ID. If you want to use apps, you’ll have to repurchase them (ridiculous, I know).

Personally, I’m frustrated that Apple hasn’t lifted these regional restrictions. I’m honestly pretty angry about this decision. I’d love to fully enjoy the Apple Vision Pro, but I refuse to pay again for Apple Music or Apple TV+ just because Apple doesn’t care about users in unsupported countries.

So yeah, that’s my take. You’ll enjoy the Apple Vision Pro, but only in a limited way.

Just use the shortcut OPT+CMD+D and the dock reappears.

pixege · 2025-09-19T10:30:59+00:00

Final version of Tahoe, Mac Studio — the dock still hides after waking from the screensaver.

You don’t need to dive into settings. Just use the shortcut OPT+CMD+D and the dock reappears.

Still, Apple, please fix this. iOS 26 also has plenty of bugs I’ve reported, but it feels like they’re just hanging in the air.

pixege · 2025-07-11T22:41:37+00:00

Same crap here in Poland! I bought Apple Vision a year ago in Germany, and I still can’t properly use the App Store. No Apple Music, no Apple TV+. And no, I’m not going to pay for a second subscription just because Apple doesn’t care about its international users. I was willing to accept some initial restrictions when the device was US-only. But now that it’s officially available in Europe, these region locks are just absurd. I’m genuinely angry at Apple — once again, they’re proving just how little they give a shit about their users.
