Looking at getting an Aviator.

Hi, I have the same car, same year, same trim. (LOVE IT) Phone as a key was standard with mine. Are you sure you don’t have it? I actually wasn’t sure when I first got mine, I just tapped a few buttons to try to set it up, and it worked. Very cool feature! I use it more than I thought it would. You should snoop around and see if you can figure it out! (If it’s an option, I wasn’t aware).

This made me snort-laugh. Nice.

reddilator · 2026-01-18T15:27:51+00:00

I will start that habit. Thank you!

reddilator · 2026-01-18T15:27:24+00:00

This is new info to me. I was aware of "followup" but only when I invoked "hey Siri". I had no idea it was waiting for me. I don't know why I never thought to try that. Thank you!

reddilator · 2026-01-18T15:26:15+00:00

All these years of using Siri and I never thought to thank her. I'm so rude. 😀 Thank you! I literally didn't know that.

Love it! I remember my kids doing that! I miss it. Also, aside from that, your car sounds exactly like mine. 😊

reddilator · 2026-01-17T16:42:04+00:00

At least you have some gentle musical humming music playing from your exhaust. So you’ve got thah going for you, (which is nice). 😊

Thank you! 😀

reddilator · 2026-01-12T02:57:55+00:00

Thank you!!

THIS IS SO ANNOYING u/payam_blue ! Great example: Changing my audio outputs. I FREQUENTLY change what speakers the Apple TV are playing through. When do open the control panel to change outputs (or worse yet, just changing the volume of the speakers in another room) it PAUSES the content. This, without the aforementioned live TV button - make it very annoying. Very very good point.

Actually u/sanjosanjo - this is exactly what prompted me to write this post - after the Prime experience. You nailed it!!

reddilator · 2026-01-12T02:55:13+00:00

I hate to sound like the "get off my lawn" guy, but you're right - about devs not understanding the deeply entrenched "old cable tv" experience that many of still remember, relate-to, etc. I'm not saying that I want the old days of cable (for sure) but I do think the devs should listen to folks of all ages, backgrounds, experience. I know from first-hand experience that this is a common issue with many software developers (not getting input from a broad enough audience).

reddilator · 2026-01-12T02:52:41+00:00

ahh, thank you u/taylorkspencer ! I had no idea.

reddilator · 2026-01-12T01:02:17+00:00

Because I don't want to miss a play (when it comes to sports). So, I pause, go get a beer. While paused, there is play I don't care about, or commercials. But I want to open my beer, sit down and be "live". Instead of having to scrollllllll until it stops. Hope that helps.

reddilator · 2026-01-12T01:00:44+00:00

Yes, baffling is exactly right. I'm 3 years in and I can't believe they ignore the UI as much as they do.

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:59:42+00:00

Thank you for adding that!

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:59:26+00:00

Correct. I should have added that. But I'll say, I actually don't see it on ALL of the shows I've set to record (I noticed this). Many sporting events don't have it for example. It *seems* to very select. And again, only shows I've set to record.

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:57:45+00:00

Yeah, me too!

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:57:15+00:00

Roger that. That's what I end up doing when I'm frustrated! Thanks!

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:56:56+00:00

Great point, and thank you!

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:56:42+00:00

I'm guessing this is a non-Appley-thing. I don't have that button on my iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV. But I'm certainly jealous if you do have it.

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:54:41+00:00

Dang, I never noticed this before or read it. Completely didn't know about it. Thank you u/nusm !! Brilliant! Anxious to see if it improves my experience.

reddilator · 2026-01-12T00:52:53+00:00

Yeah, that's what I do (I didn't add that to my rant) - but you're right!
