Replacement Key Fob, Activity Key and TCAM Battery, all recent purchased via Aliexpress that can confirm work w/ Polestar 2

I wanted to share some working replacements I recently purchased in case they might help someone else looking to save some $$:

Car computer module battery For VOLVO VGM TCAM

A weak TCAM battery on the "new to me" Polestar 2 was keeping LTE/WiFi/GPS from working, this OEM replacement part did the trick. $43 USD delivered

Liberty YGOHUF8423 Smart Car Remote Key Fob for Polestar 2

The car only came with 1 key fob, this replacement feels much more substantial than the OEM fob, the plastic seems thicker. Was able to program it on the 1st try with OrBit. $30 USD delivered

Colorful Card For Volvo S90 S60 S40 XC60 XC90 2016 2017 2018 2020 YGOHUF8423 Original PCB Smart Car Key With 8A Chip

Activity Key replacement, already loaded into a 3D printed case you choose from the 18 colors available, no option to change VOLVO printed on the case, again was able to program on the 1st try. $30 USD delivered

For those unfamiliar with OrBit software that I used to program the key fobs, it has an upfront cost of $325. That will give you the needed software (1 year subscription) and your vehicles unique PINs to access programing the car with any new keys. The average cost of having your car keys programed by the dealer can be quite a bit more than the cost of OrBit depending on the dealer. In my case the car had 5 keys associated with it but I only had 1 of those fobs so the missing keys had to be cleared to allow me to add a digital key to my phone and set it up for remote features plus adding the 2 new keys I purchased. Orbit can also be used for enabling the Pixel adaptive headlights in the US plus many other features you can tweak.

These were used in my wife's 2022 EUV that we recently sold, the only mat that saw much use was the drivers as it was 99% just her in the car commuting to work. All the mats are in like new condition, with no wear spots, holes or stains.

Tesla Cybercab spotted on Fair Oaks Ave. @ Columbia St.

Wasn't quick enough to snap a photo as it was heading in the opposite direction on Fair Oaks Ave towards Columbia Street. There was a "passenger" seated in the what would be the drivers position. I understand that Tesla doesn't have regulatory approval yet to operate the Cybercab as an autonomous vehicle, so I imagine it's being "tested" at this point.

Facebook Marketplace AI Slop Models

Yes! you too can sell your old boat and have a group of attractive models grab the attention of your potential buyers. Do you have a bouncy house you need to rent out? A sailboat to sell? A car or van? No Problem... well except for that pesky data center that was built in your area to generate that content which has tripled your power bill and is creating a new micro climate of its own.

Listed as “Old iMac for sale” with the description “Does turn on. No wires,mouse or keyboard. Disc reader opens but does not read the disc.”

I was pretty sure from the photo it was a 20-inch and was pleased to find it was one when I arrived to pick it up. Super clean exterior, opened it up and swapped out the failed Sony made Super Drive for a known good Pioneer drive, all is well. Currently running software updates.
