I had a pretty old pioneer stereo in my car and wanted android auto, so I replaced it with a cheap head unit. (its not one of those chinese tablet ones though). I didnt sound great after install but when I added some eq it sounded good enough but not as good as the old pioneer. If i were to add a separate amp would it make it sound any better or is that all in the HU? Im running factory speakers.

I've never played a hunter so I don't know what's happening here. I play horde and I keep seeing these invisible ghost leopards killing lowbies in towns. I never seen the actual hunter and a lot of the time if I click the pet it will say "unknowns pet". What exactly is going on here?

Like the title says. Im trying to install it on a desktop. It's a 13600k but I do have an AMD GPU. (6700xt). The usb boots fine and begins to load all of the services but after a while the screen goes black and it just reboots and starts all over. Never gives an error message or anything. I have secure boot turned off. Is my hardware incompatible?

If i go to the artists section in the library on android auto, It starts at A and then goes to like M or N and then skips all the way to T and thats about all it shows. if i click the a-z search on the left all those missing letters are greyed out. The library shows everything if I look it up on my phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Probably a weird issue but thought I'd ask.

I'm going to get one of these free standing cabinets for my garage. The gladiator/kobalt/craftsman ones are all in the $400-500 range. They also have a few plastic ones with the same dimensions. Are these metal ones worth it over the plastic ones? The plastic ones are like half the price. I have a wall mounted gladiator metal one and it's fine but I think it was close to $200 and doesn't seem worth it.

If you guys only need to jack up one side of the car what do you do? I can jack up the front on the pinch weld and then put the stand under the sub frame where the control arm is but I don't really have anywhere like that at the back. I have one of those rubber pads with the channels for the pinch welds and I have just jacked up to the side of the actual lift point pinch weld and put the jack stand there but that seems kind of sketch. I have an 05 Camry I'd like to know what you guys do in general.

I'm going to install a backup cam on my car and will probably have to drill a hole in the trunk. How do you guys seal it up after install to make sure moisture doesn't get in?

Hopefully someone will see this who has done this job before. At some point I am going to replace my control arms on my 05 camry (and probably engine mounts at the same time). Since one of the bolts is under the engine mount you have to jack up the engine and take the mount out. most of the videos I see don't ever mention loosening or removing any of the mounts at all. They just jack up the engine and take the one mount out. Forum people usually mention you need to loosen the front mount and take out the dogbone mount. i am wonder what the best order of operations is. My thinking is remove the dogbone mount, take the bolt out of the front mount, do the driver side control arm and mount, then replace the front mount, but not bolt it down. Then do the other side and tighten everything down and then put the dogbone mount back. Anyone have any recommendations?

Ive got one of these chinese android headunits. it works fine but apparently as soon as my headlights come on the audio cuts out every second or two along with the screen dimming. I'm assuming the screen dimming is expected behavior. There is a software update available if I can ever finish downloading. The wifi sucks on this thing and its a 1gb file so Im downloading a little bit at a time. I didnt have to do any wiring. The harness on the radio plugs straight into the factory harness. Its a 20 yr old camry so there's not much going on technology wise. Is there anything I can try or does this thing just suck? I don't see any settings anywhere in the unit to change that might affect anything like this

What's the best client for use with android auto? I've tried the ABS client and lissen and had some small issues with both. Are there any other ones that support AA?

I've got one of those Chinese head units. The normal menus and screens are all in English but when you type in the code to get into the factory settings menu everything is in Chinese. Is there a way to change this?

I'm looking for something under $50 that has pliers, a knife, and a real phillips head, or at least one that actually works. I have the nextool F12 mini and the phillips head sucks. I want something bigger. Scissors would be a bonus but I don't use those that much.

I got one of those cheap Chinese android units for my 05 Camry. It was pretty much plug and play. The only thing I can't get working are the steering wheel controls. If I go in the sw learning app the seek forward button is detected but none of the others are. I connected the only available connections to the wiring harness that came with the radio. Am I missing something? From what I can tell from googling these older Toyotas don't use the canbus system and I don't think there are any more plugs/wires available to use. Thanks for any help

I have the nextool f12 mini but I would like something in between this and w full size MT. The power pint seems like it might be what I'm looking for. I don't want a keychain size one but I want something that will fit in the little change pocket or whatever you call that on my pants. Only requirements are pliers, knife and a Philips head. The Philips head on the f12 mini kind of sucks. Scissors are a bonus.
