New England B.S. Thread

Yeee-ha! The dealership I got my tractor through was finally (almost a year later) able to get a backhoe to go along with it. To make a happy day even better, they were able to get Kubota to extend the same financing deal I got when I originally ordered the whole package last spring ($0 down/0%/60mo). Just in time for some spring work in a couple of months.

 

Can I come over and dig holes in your backyard? That’s one big sandbox to play in. I’ll fill them in… really!

 

Depends on one's job and personal need/business need. 4x10 works for my area where we aren't doing phone work better than if we did.

Friend of mine loves the 3 day weekend but she's an early bird and works from home anyway. I think a 4x10 would be better for me if my parents needed more help though.

That said even as a desk guy 10 hours is still numbing especially this time of year.

Depends, maybe if it's optional the best of both worlds (overall) can happen.

Maybe I'll have my truck running again by then

 

You got 8 months

 

I'm waiting for a bunch of testers to come in. Compression, fuel pressure, and vacuum gauge

Bullitt Satellite Messenger is a subscription-based messaging service where you can subscribe to get an allowance for monthly satellite messages and to provide the SOS Assist service. You'll be able to get the Motorola Defy Satellite Link bundled with a subscription allowing up to 30 two-way messages a month for the first year for $149 / £149 / €169.

The Motorola Defy Satellite Link will also be available for standalone purchase priced at $99 / £99 / €119. It will be available from Q2 2023.

 

You mean an LS and a standalone?

 

If it comes to that lol. I've always considered a 1gr auto swap though

 

I just threw the cheap CarPlay unit making the rounds on the forum and it appears to work as intended.

$199 for anyone that wants CarPlay / AA on their stock 2016-2019 Entune HU is not a bad solution compared to what a decent HU is going for these days.

 

What's the audio quality to oem? I know oem is a low bar but still...200 for AA is tempting

My presently exhaustive thoughts on the matter.

TL;Dr

You can EQ it back but it’s fiddly and a slight step down, but I think another hour or so and I’ll dial it in. I have replaced everything but my HU in my truck:

• Kicker / Subaru tweeters
• Kicker 6x9s - front
• Kicker 6.75s - rear
• Kenwood 5-channel amp
• JL Stealthbox

I won’t win any audio competitions but if I spin my bass knob with the right song I get memories of HS.

 

Still might consider it lol, im fully stock audio too

 

Honestly, if you're fully stock, you'll probably find that it's fine. There is a few EQ options in the device, so if you are willing to set aside some time to play, you'll likely find that it works well. I went wired versus wireless, but there is the ability to go full wireless which I know some people love.

 

How well does it integrate with things like the steering wheel buttons?

 

Track and volume works as expected. I find with the wired connection if you let the phone ring for more than a second it kicks out of CarPlay and goes back to Entune allowing you to answer with the steering wheel.

Please note I have only had this installed for two hours, but so far, so good.

 

I'd have let you borrow the if you needed them...

Pretty much how I am running, except a Kicker Comp C sub, and was looking at the "Key" amps for the rest of my the speakers.... but, haven't decided yet.

 

I got first dibs...
