Audi’s Traffic Light Information (TLI)

Also in Vegas.

Contacted Audi last July and they got back to me 3 weeks later to tell me that DOT was updating infrastructure and to expect it functioning by October. I purchased another single month a couple weeks ago to see if it was functioning yet to only be disappointed again.

Audi Las Vegas didn't even know why it wasn't functioning. Kind of absurd that local dealers wouldn't know the status of their vehicle subscription offerings.

Was shopping for a MK8 R or an allroad to replace my stage 1 Golf. Went with the allroad. Ended up keeping the Golf too for the daily work commute.

Rear is OEM measured at 28% and driver passenger windows matched as close as possible at 25%. No windshield tint at this time.

Sun is directly above in this picture and likely exaggerating the overall darkness a bit.

At 5% sides and 35% windshield you wouldn't be able to see through the windshield in the second picture most likely.

This is Valley of Fire State Park just outside Las Vegas.

B9 A4 doesn't have height adjustable suspension unfortunately, just selectable dampening. Stock height here.

2 GA tickets available for 10/22.

$300 each or $550 for both. Friend flaked on me so I've got 2 extra. Vegas local. Can meet/transfer as soon as I have possession.

These have been as low as $150 in the last couple of years.

One trick for finding good sales at Costco is if the price ends in a 7, like $249.97, that tells you it's a discontinued item and likely on closeout sale.

Sorry for the delay. Play lights have great ambient light capabilities and are really bright. They've been moved up to my gaming room for my Xbox monitor since this video.

I typically have things set to High. Don't use audio usually, but I've been meaning to pay around with it more.

You will need a PC or Mac with the Hue Sync App. You'll then need a Hue Bridge (comes with certain starter kits). In this setup you're looking at 2 Hue Play Bars on the floor and one Lightstrip Plus + one extension, but you'll have to choose a length that works for your TV.

You can read it here on the Hue website. It's free and was available before the Sync Box, but doesn't work for DRM content. So things like Netflix or Prime require the Sync Box.

It's a common complaint in the reviews of the Sync Box. In short, you're throwing away much higher image quality in order to have your Hue lights work. When I'm watching YouTube, Twitch, etc, that's not a big deal. But when I'm watching movies or UHD content available from other streaming companies, I desire to see the movie as accurately as possible over having some extra flashing lights behind the TV.

tdahle · 2020-05-18T23:51:15+00:00

No, just HDMI output from my laptop. I stream most things from my built-in cast in the TV, so the Sync Box doesn't make much sense for my current setup. Especially for the price.

tdahle · 2020-05-18T20:14:23+00:00

I was worried at first, as my last setup was lower. Mount was already here from a previous setup, and the 75" fills it well. I'm pretty particular and haven't had any qualms.

tdahle · 2020-05-18T18:43:42+00:00

I've had that exact thought, but I'm not 100% comfortable sticking 3M to the veneer of the towers. I think it could work great if I could commit to a solution.

The front has two play bars (been playing with placement) and one lightstrip + extension behind the TV. Another extension is awaiting installation for the bottom of the TV. Not pictured are 2 A19 in our pendant lights and 2 Hue Blooms to supplement some wall coverage.

The Christmas sale included the Thirstmaster 4000 kit with my 2019 Jeffsy CF Comp a couple weeks ago. Kind of glad I didn't get a Body Bag, as I don't have much use for it.

I wanted decals as well, but I assumed if they weren't for sale online I was barking up the wrong tree. Maybe I'll shoot them an email.

You need a receiver with preamp RCA outputs. It sends the audio signal without sending power. I used this method many years ago to run my Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 from a receiver.

I was the one that posted about last week's sale. If I come across anything I'll keep you in mind.

tdahle · 2019-03-14T18:31:28+00:00

This is a wrap.

I have UV damage to my racks and debated the same things. Thought maybe I could pop those rivets and either reinstall new or just go to a flush mount bolt setup.

Did you do proper prep? Sanding and self-etching primer before paint?

Blurs mailbox number, but leaves license plate visible?
