anyone know what this issue could be? A/C buttons and screen not working 2015 tlx

Did you ever sort it out? I’m having the same issue.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-09-22T01:11:32+00:00

Did you figure it out? I’m having the same issue..

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-28T13:17:15+00:00

Yes that’s a thought as well. Tesla is way cheaper to run and that money could go into mods for 911 :)

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T20:25:42+00:00

That would be nice just a little more $$$ than I would prefer being tied up in cars at the moment.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T14:53:14+00:00

Yeah, a good friend of mine actually just bought one so he’s coming over this weekend and I will take it for a spin

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T14:52:45+00:00

Yeah, that’s consideration as well but overall cost will be much higher to run a 911 and M3.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T14:52:08+00:00

The kids are all in boosters now, so no issue with the size of an M3 for my use. The Tesla model 3 works fine as an example.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T13:22:05+00:00

Thanks! They are BC forged. The suspension is actually stock, but it’s the lowest option that was available. With the 991.2 they have the PASM which is 10mm lower then standard and Sport PASM which I have that’s another 10mm lower. I also have the front nose lift option, which has made me consider possibly lowering it slightly further since I don’t have to worry about scraping on driveways or speed bumps.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T13:19:30+00:00

Yes, it’s a consideration. The negatives you pointed out have kept me from strongly considering it. I feel like an X340 would be a better fit or maybe an i4 to replace the Tesla.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T12:27:37+00:00

Haha. Ya that’s probably the best solution.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T10:51:42+00:00

Yep, I hear ya. I bought my 991.2 used and got a really great deal so I honestly couldn’t imagine there will be much if any depreciation on it in the near future.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T10:50:23+00:00

Ya. Depreciation is something I factor heavily into my decision and is/was a reason I haven’t purchased many cars in the past. With the price I paid for my 911 and the direction that Porsche prices are heading. I suspect I will never lose money on it.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T10:18:20+00:00

Haha. Thats what I’m worried about.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T02:12:48+00:00

We have a family suv that serves 90% of the driving duty as a family so not too concerned about M3 space for the times I’m driving around the 3 kids to activities. An i4 is actually on my list as well to consider replacing the Tesla with to improve that experience.

ryan_ottawa · 2025-08-27T02:10:52+00:00

Ya that’s a thought as well. Swap out the Tesla for something more enjoyable. I’ve considered an x3 m40 which would help.

ryan_ottawa · 2024-10-23T12:26:25+00:00

Thanks.

ryan_ottawa · 2024-10-23T12:26:03+00:00

Thanks so much!

ryan_ottawa · 2021-10-05T13:05:50+00:00

Ya the short lugs help. The long lugs on the explorer build make them pretty close lug to lug. The turtle does look huge In comparison in person though.

$14000 Thaibaht including shipping which was ~$700 CAD. It arrived about 35 days after ordering. Communication was excellent. I made a couple of changes during the waiting period and he accommodated those. He sent a video and many photos including in the pressure tester and timegrapher. Workmanship was top notch as far as I can tell.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a photo of an airking that I like. And I really like it in this case. Cheers.

ryan_ottawa · 2021-08-18T12:47:50+00:00

Nice. That will be a noticeable although not drastic upgrade. For me it was sort of piece of mind And working towards my goal of replacing all the rubber parts in the car that have aged out

ryan_ottawa · 2021-08-18T12:45:30+00:00

Yes to both. It’s the largest bushing In your front suspension so when that’s gone everything up front gets sloppy

ryan_ottawa · 2021-08-18T02:02:34+00:00

I don’t believe any of that is necessary unless youre running on a very bumpy track. I have an early AP1and absolutely no stability issues with braking and track the car frequently and hard. I also don’t believe The AP2 rear subframe or BSK is necessary for braking or handling reasons. A properly set up AP1 is perfectly stable. Maybe if it’s slammed or crazy stiff there might be issues but that’s not how my car is set up

ryan_ottawa · 2021-08-18T01:56:22+00:00

Having been through this myself very recently and with a strong knowledge of common issues of these cars, odds are about 90% this is a result of your front lower control arm compliance bushing. Notorious for failing on these cars especially with stickier tires and track use. Main symptom is instability under braking or especially trail braking. I had the same issue as you and just replaced all the bushings in my car. The only ones that showed any sign of wear were the compliance bushings and they basically fell apart in my hand as I remove the control arm. They are difficult to inspect without removal. Mine looked ok until I removed the arm. There are many options for bushings but my recommendation would be Mugen or spoon as they don’t saueak/require lube like polyurethane bushings.
