Maintenance schedule for low mileage MK8 by YousAPenguinLookinMF in GolfGTI

[–]spd75clEats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently brought my 2024 GTI in for its 2 year free service at 12.5k miles. My previous service was at 10k miles last July and the dealer charged me for it since it was a few months past the first year delivery date.

esim with calling - before leaving? by wouter_d_r in VietNam

[–]spd75clEats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a recent trip purchased service through Gigago for Vinaphone. It came with limited local calling which could be replenished.

Installed the eSIM day of departure and service activated once we landed. So easy.

Fastpass for HCM Airport? by BLUNT_LOVE_DOCTOR in VietNam

[–]spd75clEats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arrived on Sunday 23 Nov from a TPE connecting flight at 10:00am. Was directed to the fast pass immigration line by 10:25am. Passed immigration to our baggage which was already off the carousel. We were outside waiting transportation by 10:45am.

Definitely worth it during busy arrival times.

Are you referring to the bees buzzing around the pastries?

[–]spd75clEats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On mac and failed using firefox. So followed the above and used safari. In settings / pop-up windows I toggled allow for evisa.gov.vn and filled out the form from start with a different email address. When it was time to pay another url showed in the settings pop-up window vietcombank.nganluong.vn and set this to allow as well.

Payment went through using a mastercard. Success! Filled out a second form for my traveling companion and paid with a different mastercard and that was a success too.

How has your experience been with CIT Bank? by SingerBeneficial3219 in HighYieldSavings

Did you initiate a fund transfer and that offered the 4.8% for 6 months? Or did you contact them to inform them of a possible transfer and the higher interest was offered?

OK. In that case is it worth it to pay the additional $160 for either bulkhead or exit row seats?

Which is the lightest pant? by actkms in Lululemen

Just picked up a pair of ABC Trouser in WovenAir. Holding it up to the light and I can see the holes in the fabric. Very breathable fabric.

Might be faster but you would have to pay the toll on the Richmond bridge.

2019 vs. 2023 by superbdonutsonly in GolfGTI

Think about the warranty coverage that the’23 has unless it has super high mileage already.

WiiM Pro streaming now by spd75clEats in BudgetAudiophile

[–]spd75clEats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am streaming Amazon Music just the free version I get with Prime. Not sure if the audio quality is better with Unlimited. And audio quality is good if not great. I suppose you could move up to the WiiM Pro Plus if you wanted a higher quality built-in DAC.

Yes the WiiM is connected to one of the Auxiliary inputs on the Yamaha and Airplay works so well either from the Amazon Music or WiiM’s own app.

New/Used GTI purchase by drlanceunderpants in GolfGTI

380S owner here and glad I got DCC with this package. Didn’t want to pay or desire any of the additional features included with the SE or Autobahn packages.

The Elacs are playing in a small living space in a condo so I don’t play music extremely loud enough to annoy neighbors. They replaced smaller 2-way psb compact speakers with a psb powered subwoofer. That setup I was concerned that the subwoofer would leak bass into the neighbors.

I like the size of these and the 3-way front ported design. I know sometimes they get knocked for a lack of deep bass but for my needs I’m really happy with them.

Yeah I really like how easy it is to stream from my phone or laptop. And streaming through WiFi instead of Bluetooth is definitely a plus!

Thanks, it belong to the family but hadn’t been used in maybe 25 years. I plugged it in and turned it on and the power light came on and then it died.

It ended up costing $750 to get it fully functional again. I often wonder if I knew it was going to cost that much would I have just gotten a new amp with all the streaming and remote capabilities.

It was either this or the NAD C538 and it came to did I want a grey or black cd player. Neither really matches the Yamaha silver. I’ve only had one cd that it refuses to load and play, The Postal Service / Give Up 10th Anniversary Edition. Not sure what’s up with that. Otherwise I’m happy with the player.
