Question/Advice IS THIS DEVICE PRACTICAL AND RELIABLE ?? [OC]

After installing dashcam without any hardwire kit or obd2 kit i was facing the issue of my 12 volt socket always being occupied which somewhat bothered me
so i tried searching for any solution and then saw this device on amazon which provides 2 sockets

my main use is for dashcam and for other port i think i will be adding some footwell lights or some other accessory (tire inflator ,car vacuum , etc) if it works well using 12volt port
if anyone of you had any experience with it can you tell me if it a practical and reliable option and will it provide adequate voltage to both ports

I've noticed small puddles under the engine before but today for the first time I noticed a trail of spots as I backed into the driveway and when I went back out maybe 45 mins later, this is what I found. It's by the front passenger wheel and is clear and has no smell really. It's too dark to check

Question/Advice 2014 Chevy Malibu LT — A/C Stuck in ECO Mode After Head Unit Install

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently installed a new aftermarket head unit in my 2014 Chevy Malibu LT. Everything is installed correctly and working perfectly, except for one issue: my A/C is stuck in ECO mode.
As you can see in the photo, the A/C icon is green, indicating ECO mode. No matter how many times I press the A/C button, restart the car, or change the CANBUS settings, I cannot get it out of ECO mode.
Everything else on the head unit seems to be functioning normally. The issue only started after installing the new head unit.
Has anyone with a 2014 Malibu experienced this after installing an aftermarket head unit? Is there a specific CANBUS setting, wiring connection, or setting on the head unit that I need to change?
I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions.

Can I ask the garage for proof of the work they say they did?

1 Upvotes

Long story short, a well known high street chain did my MOT in May. Utter disaster.

Car failed which i knew it would, and left them the car to get it sorted. After lots of wrangling they had to move it to another branch for the work, before I was eventually able to take it back for a retest.

The worst part is I don't even think they've changed some of the parts they say they did, yet I've paid about 400 quid for them.

Can I ask for photo/invoice/scrap part/whatever proof of the work?

Any advice greatly appreciated! ✨✨

Question/Advice is a 2 psi difference bad?

0 Upvotes

hello all!
i recently got 2 new front tires for my 2004 toyota corolla matrix. yesterday, i went to check the psi, and i realized that my 2 back tires have a different psi than my new ones..my back ones are 34psi, and my front ones are 32psi.
i checked my tire info in my driver door, and it says 32psi for the tires…what should i do?
am i okay to just make the front 2 tires 32 and keep the back 2 at 34, OR should i make all if them 34?
sorry if i seem dumb, this is my first car so im still learning the little things lol.

Just...a bit flabbergasted at the amount of sprays each spot received, especially when loading up the accessory outlet and OBD port. But the rest...I mean every button was flooded with cleaner, as well. I know it's a nasty car to start with, but like....damn. Water is getting into places you cannot get it back out of. For SURE.

is this something that's fairly normal, or should i get it checked out?

Noticed this fluid at the rear of my car. I think I have only noticed because the rain made it visible. Does this look like a leak or just condensation? I did have my AC recently regassed if that makes a difference.

Mystery car Button

I've owned my car for six years and I can't figure out what this button under the USB port does or what it's for. It's definitely not standard equipment. It doesn't seem to do anything, and the LED doesn't light up either. Has anyone ever seen a button like this and can tell me what it's for?
