Pic of the rack. Topper rack not the bike rack

 

I'm going to be in Woodstock this weekend. I have lights to get to Jason too. Bed is pretty much empty. They'll get wet.

 

Scored a black surround and 2.5gen climate control off a local part out for cheap. Microsurgery on the 2.5gen climate control faceplate to make it fit - the tabs don't all quite line up, no big deal, just fine work with a hot scalpel. I wanted to keep the silver knob surrounds and they're all one piece with the guts. Replaced one of my cracked knobs with the 2.5gen, Thankfully the light pipes are the same color so I have two more spares.

T4 wide angle LEDs in the mail to replace the factory climate illumination bulbs that have been burned out for 6 years.

 

What radio is that and how have you been liking it? Any issues?

 

Joying w/ hard knob. I love it. Only issue is once in a great great while it will freeze up for 30 seconds at random and reboot. Nav always comes back right where it froze and so does music. Minor minor issue. Doesn't even bother me.

Android so I can use the same apps I do on my phone for nav (Osmand) and whatever.

 

Gonna head to race point this weekend if anyone wants to do a little taco on the beach sesh lmk. Might have my BILs tacoma with me

 

I thought I was the only one!

We used this for offline walking nav around London and Paris, worked great!

It doesn't have an iOS Apple Carplay app for free. I had to use a different one when I was trying to find a free alternative to Gaia. Whatever it was, it worked offline in the north maine woods. But I decided to suck it up and eat the relatively cheap cost of Gaia.

 

I love Osmand. I've used it all over the world, even in some pretty sketchy places. Real nice being able to have actual local map files and not have to worry about data, and the routing is top notch.

The Joying has wifi so once in a while I update maps from the driveway, EZPZ.

 

Seconding joying, picked up the 9"(?) unit secondhand recently and love it. Fit is basically like OEM and does everything I ask it too, wireless AA/Carplay is icing. I'm slowly starting to get into tethering my phone and using native apps, the onx app is SIGNIFICANTLY better this way than the half assed android auto version

 

I hear you on the stock software. I've considered taking the plunge into a custom ROM, but really didn't want to run into the usual problems putting pirate-y ROMs on weird OEM hardware. I have a little bit of a backlight giggle going on with it after a pretty hard impact (still perfectly usable, but not perfect - just a slightly dim spot around the impact), so if that goes I might use it as a test unit for a flash, and buy another one exactly like it.

 

Lemme know how that goes, I'm in this cheap enough where if I brick it I'm only out a couple hundred bucks instead of 4 figures like the bigger names

 

Free donut isn't worth having to buy crappy coffee

 

Agreed....

 

Hell yeah, never been there but I love the one-off donut shops, they generally make some really good stuff.

 

Donut King in Weymouth or Quincy is my jam. They make a donut cake. It might be heaven, I'm not sure.

 

Well, I don't like donuts or anything like that, but, I agree. I don't like watered down "coffee".

 

So true.
Had to drink Dunky by default when I was at job locations and there were no other options available.
To me, It always tasted "burned", no matter what area or state you went to.

 

Lol that’s like five minutes from where I grew up!
