I have a folded wash rag in a drawer I put mine on. With that I can pound on the cabinet or floor near it and even open the drawer slowly and it won't wake up. Without the rag just walking by the cabinet wakes it up.

Just so everyone knows the fob contains a sensitive accelerometer that for all practical purposes keeps the fob off until it is disturbed. There is no need and in fact no advantage of a Faraday box if you place your key undisturbed anywhere. Once disturbed the fob will try to communicate with...

@marqie FYI, never got the automated response from the above feedback.

The most annoying thing about the slamming is Halo never catches it ! If I slam the brakes it does.

Sent this to swfeedback: car 3.6.4 fob 2.35.13 One Homelink controlled Genie garage door. No other Homelink system in my house or neighbors. Garage remote in drawer in house Between 9:20 and 9:35 this AM, sorry didn't remember to get exact time. What happened: Opened garage from wired button...

no & no (at least right now)

Can you show me on the 'Thomas Guide' where that is?

This is great information about the garage opening before the car doors, haven't heard of that before. Be sure to send to: [email protected] as described here

Had a similar issue when car was new on passenger side door. Pulling the handle would make no noise at all and nothing would happen. Must have been crud on the switch, because it would open from the inside and it seems to have been solved by exercising the switch. You can exercise the switch...

I'm an idiot that believes every manufacturer, every 'International' organization, every country has their own idea of 'Levels' that has and will evolve over the years. It's really not worth getting picky with the quick evolution of connectors voltage and current levels. I believe the overall...

The tricks are: 1. It must be dark outside (or in garage). 2. Sit normally in the drivers seat while holding the flashlight on the passenger seat pointing in the general direction. Note, it's much harder to photograph than to see in person. I've only used an LED flashlight, don't have any...

What really frustrates me is that the Halo Secure never records its phantom braking but records all kinds of near misses I regularly make with its assistance turned off.

The power outlets will continue to run in creature comfort mode until you move the car out of park if you enable the 'Keep On' under outlets in the charge screen. Using a 60's vintage single phase variable autotransformer meant for testing tube type color TV's I am able to run any of my power...
