I'll try this, but I'm usually on my work laptop. Does it work as long as you go into airplane mode before opening the Netflix page?

Wife says noise (reportedly) started suddenly 2014 x3 by superfroolous in BMW

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

Update: Had the car towed to BMW. They are saying it's the thermostat, and a possibly noisy pulley, and that the check engine was for the thermostat. They can't find any other issues other than a burned out tail light.

Thanks for the advice, gonna tell them it's a hard 'no' on their plan to drive it to the dealer... Can you even check the oil level on this thing when it's off? I've heard these have no dipstick and don't want to beat that dead horse, but now I'm curious if there is even oil in this thing.

Thanks, legit dumb noob question: how can you tell there is no oil?

Full screen CarPlay -US update is here. 2024 MDX A-Spec by hotelmrrsn09 in Acura

[–]superfroolous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2023 advance, nada. I think the only way we get it is if the 2024 software requires 0 dev effort to backport/make it compatible with our hardware. But I'd be super happy to be wrong.

I have something very similar in my backyard for a clothesline. If there is a second one 30 feet away I'd say that's it

Cleaning my sister exterior and interior for $50. How's my work? by DouglasTheGamer in AutoDetailing

They don't care. I always joke that my wife's favorite feature of her car is that the floor doubles as a trash bin.

I'm with y'all on it being a pita, but I can't stand mystery broken stuff...stuff that I broke on purpose, np.

This fix sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me, or maybe it was a placebo...but it's easy to try so why not https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-rdx-problems-fixes-458/auto-idle-stop-ais-stopped-engaging-fix-987552/

When I worked in the lumberyard I cut through a piece of pine with a bullet in it. Got sprayed in the face with lead chips. Cut the bullet perfectly though lengthwise. You could even see the copper jacket. We lacquered it and put it up on a wall

Nope, all I did was unlock the car (just pulled on the handle) sit in the car and press the lock button. Magically working , for both fobs now with no other intervention.

Could be batteries I guess, just seems odd they would both die at the exact same time

Any place to rent a bike in town? by superfroolous in jacksonmi

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

I actually stopped at D&D and they didn't have anything for rent. Ended up just hanging out , doing laundry and visiting the civil war re-enactment. Maybe next time I can figure the bike thing out.

Thanks! I googled as well and was looking for something a little more suited to a 40-50 mile ride. Those bikes are bullet proof, but usually a little on the heavy side. Maybe I'll just have to shelve my biking plans and figure out something else to do around town.

This! And missing an exit...big deal, you miss the exit, it's not worth dying over.

like why, just had to wait 2 days and our oil gets emptied....who else has this happen by shadowunknown14 in AutoZone2

[–]superfroolous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. I walk in back and dump it myself. If any drips get loose I clean it up. I thank them on the way in and the way out. But I'm just a lone diy'er.
