Did our boys just greenscreen themselves into their own garage office? I don't know about others, but I wouldn't mind seeing a messy, half-finished garage or, if that's busy, a normal internal office. I find the offset in lighting between the background and the subjects more of a negative than a bland background.

Don't read the 1 stars or the 5 stars, trust the 2-3 star reviews. 1 Star reviews are usually people who got a broken product or just didn't know what the fuck they were doing and are just angry. 2 and 3 star reviews usually have relevant information about the product. No company is going to pay for fake 2 and 3 star reviews, and people who are angry and won't be giving an accurate review always give 1 stars. So you get the best information about what the product really is and how it really works from the 2 and 3 star reviews.

@SamRK-1000
@SamRK-1000 24 дні тому
And one of the other downsides is if you’re in a very hilly area without a lot of cell towers you may run into broken signals. Also, sometimes the static just starts to overwhelm the radio and you can’t even hear your music anymore. But FM transmitters are a good, faster, cheaper alternative to replacement head units. Just plug it in and choose a silent station with good signal, pair Bluetooth and you’re good to go. With the head unit stuff you can end up buying a really bad head unit, or overloading the amp and have to replace your speakers as well

You can put them on the pinch weld, but on a lowered vehicle, say you're going forward and then turn right to get closer to line up with the curb, your bumper would hit the curb before the feelers would touch anything. By placing it on the bumper you have a little more warning while moving the front around

LOL the "turbo whistle" the sound does sound much like a turbo from old racing video games haha Yeh know the sound well. When i was in high school i made a small device of sorts to put inline with the power for the radio some capacitors resisters etc to filter the power for all my friends. I was not even trained in any sort of electronics at that point never read books on building circuits. I understood how capacitors worked etc. and worked out how to build some simple circuits like that. Those ferrite ch0okes don't work most of the time having and active filter on your power does way better in fact you can completely remove any interference on the line from the alternator electric fans headlights etc Anything that is electro mechanical cause it as as well so blinker switches the ones you can hear click or when you press your break pedal your wipers etc.

Put the sunshade on the other side of the visor. When I started buying Japanese cars they did not have radios at all. It was great as you could install anything you wish from head unit, amps and speakers. A/C. Adds weight, saps power. Curb feelers, ethnic. Funky Cold Patina.

Had an FM transmitter for a couple of years. That was the coolest thing ever. After a while for some reason i started to get a LOT of signals mixing in with my Bluetooth. As if it was picking someone elses radio up. But it was a cool thing to have and worked very well

To mount the radio in the glovebox, Nolan: make a panel out of 3/4" or 1/2" MDF to cover the opening and support the radio. 1. create template using a cereal box. keep trimming 'till it's a tight fit. 2. transfer onto MDF, then cut with jigsaw 3. cut a single-din size rectangle out of the center of MDF panel cut in step 2 4. cover with upholstery, carpet or paint (if painting, seal first with watered-down white glue, applied with chip brush) 5. stuff radio in hole of new panel you just made, then pop that bitch in glovebox (friction fit) 6. crank it up

4:42 I do have that in my truck. I think the same model. The only issue is if you hit a bump it resets. When I put it in my car it lays near the cup holder it gets hit when my passenger or myself grabs a drink and it resets. That part is annoying. I like that there’s a USB port in front so you can keep your device charged while running the music through it. 6:41 I still call them cigarette lighter outlets.

Personally if you want that type of radio for your older car I would go with RetroSound and get a Audio Control DSP to make it sound the best it could. Then some Sundown Audio speakers, Down4Sound Amp(s), and Sundown Audio Subs.

Got a custom auto sound stereo system for my 75 el camino and 100% don’t regret it, it looks original when off but has a digital display when on and has Bluetooth along with ports for a subwoofer and amplifier. Can definitely say I’d you’re looking for a vintage style modern radio you’re going to be spending at least 200 bucks for a good working unit.

I used an FM transmitter in my OBS Chevy for a while and it worked great until the head unit itself crapped out. Then I just installed something modern. Regardless, it's not like I had great sound with the stock 1995 pickup speakers anyway. But I definitely recommend it as a quick way to add Bluetooth.

A Bluetooth FM Transmitter Radio Adapter Car Kit works fine with an old car radio, your mileage may vary since you have to find a vacant radio frequency to send the signal on to the car radio. I even took calls with the one I bought.

A company I used to work for had basic radios in the work vans. When we had to use three vans for distance jobs, we'd run an FM transmitter in the middle van- then dangerously tailgate each other so we all could listen to the connected MP3 player. Bumpers may or may not have touched from time to time...

Visor extenders are useful, but the attachment mechanism is always the weak point, and those ones are just crap. I've had several in my car because when the sun is just right it glares below the visor and sunglasses are not enough to block it, I need that second layer of plastic screen. The ones I've used had plastic clips and seemed to be designed to attach to the top of the visor instead of the bottom, which is daft, anyway they just flip down on a hinge. Had 4 over the years, broken 2 of them, one arrived broken , still have one passenger side and I still use it when the sun is just wrong./

Taxi cabs had sunshades like that back in the 60's. I remember as a kid seeing swamp coolers in car windows. they weren't great. But it was better than no A/C. I haven't seen curb feelers since the 70's. They were usually just on the rear of the car, curb side.
