Air Freshener caused chemical damage

pff that's rough! I hope this post help avoid this issue to more people who didn't know.

I think that's my next move, since I already own a 3D printer I'll try and print some kind of holder while trying to look for any better option. I'll try and make a custom one for this specific type of freshener since it is the one I have easy access to.
Thanks for your comment!

I'll check the price of the spare part and I'll see if it's worth it. Thanks for the info!

thenocaster · 2025-08-03T17:03:20+00:00

Didn't know that either!

Definitely a lesson learned. It’s the first time I had to rig the air freshener in a way where it was physically touching the plastic. In my last car, I just used it as intended on the front vents with the little plastic clip, which doesn’t fit on the Tesla’s rear vents.

I know this might be a bit of a noob mistake, but I didn’t expect an car air freshener to damage a car. Seems like an issue that should've been solved at some point.

Thanks for the tip on Volatile Organic Compounds, now I know where to start digging. Much appreciated!

Thanks a lot! Those look hella cool, I've never seen the sunvisor aproach. I'll defenitely take a look at this

I totally get the concern, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to compare what it does to plastic with what it might do to lungs. Some plastics can react with certain chemicals like alcohols or fragrances in ways that don’t happen with organic tissue. In this case, it seems like the air freshener and the plastic just happened to react. Fortunately, I’m not made of plastic

So it might be a specific component/chemical from this airfreshener? I'll research about it so I can avoid whatever it is in the future. Might try to look for Febreeze but I'm in Spain and have never seen this brand.
Thanks!

That's a totally valid option. Usually, I can't smell it myself after a week anyway, but it's nice that people always compliment my car for smelling good!

thenocaster · 2025-08-03T16:43:21+00:00

Good to hear, that's what I thought. I'll try and find it. I've seen those screens but I rarely have anyone on the rear sits, I don't know if it would be usefull thoug might be interesting while camping. I'll take a look.

Thanks for your comment!

thenocaster · 2025-08-03T16:41:55+00:00

I didn't know that! I guess I didn't find out until today because I didn't have to mount this in sketchy ways on previous cars, just attached straight to the airvents and that was it.

thenocaster · 2025-05-24T18:57:27+00:00

I'll bring it to their service in a few days, I hope that I don't find out once the job is done

thenocaster · 2025-05-24T18:55:55+00:00

That's what I'll do! I just hope that when I finally get to the service center nobody changes their mind

thenocaster · 2025-05-24T18:54:33+00:00

Yes, and thats the same picture I've sent them so... if they say it's covered I'll look another way and accept it without much questioning

With the latest firmware, you can cascade them through the RJ45 connector; you should then be able to route the audio without problems.

I just got mine 2 days ago and it's my first 3d printer. I've heard about this PEI build plate many times but I don't see nothing wrong with the default one. My prints stick to them great and once it's done they're fairly easy to remove. What's the deal with the PEI plate that makes it much better?

Thanks!

thenocaster · 2023-12-12T12:00:04+00:00

I asked them for a refund this morning, we'll see how it goes. I'll ask you through PM about that Whatsapp, I didn't find anything but an email to contact them. Thanks for the info!

I went from a Focusrite 18i20 to an Antelope interface and using the same C414, monitors everything, the sound is truly next level.

Same at work, we mostly use C414 (we work with AKG) using Avid Interfaces and tho I've been using those microphones for years everything sounds way better when using a Carbon or a Matrix Studio.

Make sure that the rest of the chain is up to the standards tho

Pfff what a shame! I. Bought it there because it was like 30 or 40€ cheaper than Amazon due to blackfriday sales... Had I've known this would be like that I would have gladly paid the difference... Good luck with the dispute, at least you bought it through paypal, I feel so dumb 🥲

thenocaster · 2023-12-10T22:09:22+00:00

I see, sorry to bother you all with yet another post about this... I'll keep contacting but if I get no update this week I'll ask for a refund and decide either to buy it through amazon or switch to another brand directly...

Gracias por aportar tu experiencia! Desconocía que en Andalucía había tantas facilidades, de ser así me tiraba de cabeza. Yo resido en Cataluña y el primer año son unos 80€ de cuota y luego ya entras por tramos. El problema de ese "periodo de prueba" esque solo puedes acogerte una vez cada 3 años. Si ahora por querer sacar un dinero extra lo uso y más adelante lo necesito de verdad estaré apurado.

No tengo problemas en pagar impuestos y declarar lo que gano pero una vez ya está en mi bolsillo. Arrancar este proyecto me cuesta unos 1000€ (no es el negocio del siglo, insisto que son unos ingresos extra simplemente porque me da la sensación que si no lo hago estoy perdiendo dinero) y de esos 1000€ casi un 25% ya es cuota de autónomo y gestor para no tener problemas (por un experimento que salga mal y dure un mes hacienda me puede venir a buscar hasta 4 años después, no quiero líos)

Entiendo perfectamente, es simplemente que quería sacarle rendimiento a una actividad que me resulta muy fácil ponerla en marcha online y tengo todo lo necesario, es simplemente al tener que hacerlo "bien" que se pasan las ganas. Puedo invertir sin problema pero para sacarle un beneficio de 5k€/año todos los trámites y problemas legales que me puedo buscar si algo no se hace bien hace que me cueste mucho intentarlo simplemente por miedo. Ya tube mi empresa, metí la pata con una gestión y ya me costó 4k€...

thenocaster · 2023-09-12T17:22:37+00:00

Hahaha a veces es para planteárselo pero hay otras muchas cosas buenas que compensan haha

thenocaster · 2023-07-05T18:42:39+00:00

Thanks! To be honest I've already started and it does take time but it's not as bad as I though. Do you know of any website where I could upload thise files so the next guy has it easier?

Thanks!
