@Twinturbo_ you bet 👍🏻 glad you enjoyed the content!!!

From Mick: @jimgreekgamerYT , I have heard of other people “unlocking” their radios. I have not done that yet. Thanks for watching and the comment.

From Mick: @jamsesgoodson5501 , you are correct, I figured that out after I completed the video. At least I know the dongle works. Thanks for watching and the comment.

From Mick: @MrMiked3151 , the manual indicated that GMRS frequencies were not covered. I wonder if the frequencies can be unlocked.

@@Portie2216 I use mine on PMR 446mHZ (UK) straight out of the box

From Mick: @Doja421 , glad the video helped, we’ll be doing new radio updates from time to time. Shortly we’ll have a review of a hand held GMRS. If you have GMRS repeaters in your area they could be fun. It is amazing how these cheap radios do so much. Being cheap you can get several. Thanks for the nice comment

@MarcusVitone - that's a bummer on the re-dye but I bet really nice to have some fresh leather seats!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

From Mick: @Sdr-f7n , I like this model and works well. There are only two things to think about. 1) Size, if you need something small to carry with other equipment in a pack-out, it should be tested, 2). The red font on the menu is hard to read in day light, I need to see if that can be changed. These radios are so cheap, get both, then you have a spare if one breaks. Thanks for watching and the comments. I’ll have a hand held GMRS review coming out shortly, I’m testing it now and like what I see so far.

It was an adventure 😂

From Mick: @VRWarLab, I do not currently see these models listed on the Baofeng website. The typical difference between models is the display, frequency range, NOAA, and power. These could older models as Baofeng is always making small changes. Thanks for watching and the comments

@@Portie2216 that's the issue I have, I haven't found any official source. However I've heard that some company made a ham radio with X feature (something to do with the screen I believe) and so Baofeng decided to make the UV-5RH pro max which implements that feature. (Something to do with GPS? No clue. UV-5RH pro (not the max one) has GPS I believe so I don't know what the difference may be)

From Mick: @VRWarLab , a lot of these radios do the same things, with minor variations. I would write down the main things you want in a radio then look at the official Baofeng, Tidradio, or Wouxon sites for the best match. I need to look into GPS in these cheap handhelds. I know the big boys have GPS for things like D-Star…. I’m gonna research what GPS is currently used for. Check out our latest review of the Baofeng AR-5rm. I liked the radio. Thanks again for watching and comments

@AryaKiaie - glad it helped! I'll tell you it drove me batty for several weeks until I figured it all out, first it was the weld that broke and all the squeaking, then a few months later it was the vibration that was annoying - it just progressively got worse. Been driving it with the bands for 10 months now and holding on strong - no issues! Of course the permanent fix is to buy the new exhaust pipes - good luck!!!

From Mick: @placas94 , the connections on the side are for headphones and microphone. Not sure what would happen if I only connected the headphone jack, I’ll give that a try later and re-post.

From Mick: @JohnMackay-kn3rl , never thought about doing CB. I’ll look into it and if radios are cheap enough I’ll do one. I might have to record video closer to the highway so I can contact people. I have a video coming up on hand held GMRS soon. Thanks for the suggestion and watching.

@auto3714 - thanks and thanks for watching!!! Got a lot more out there for the Macan, check them out!!!

From Mick: @kaniala81, I saw it listed somewhere at IP65, now I’m seeing IP67 which is a higher rating

@nigarcia1 - thanks for watching and the nice comment! Make sure to watch the follow-up video for the needed inline fuse by the battery!

@Howie-ql2ru - Thanks for watching, yeah those rockers get hit with sunroof water on the top, street water on the bottom! And no issues with the 3rd brake light...at least not yet!!! LOL FYI more Cobalt vids dropped recently and a few more coming!

@LouUSMC - Thanks for watching and I'd say you won't regret the PCCM+ with added wireless! I too thought maybe you could plug the magsafe charger into the supplied "black box" or "media box" - when I did, it didn't have enough power for the magsafe charger, thus the cigarette lighter tap in for 12v power. I'm sure there are other power sources you can pull from but this was in the vicinity and worked pretty well. I'd also suggest buying the A1 midshelf from Autobahn Engineering - game changer right there! Autobahn Engineering A1 Mid Shelf = autobahn.engineering Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!

Close - Oakland County!!!

@Hdizzle2 - yes for sure, used an iPad for video purposes. 😉

Hot tubbin was a little later 🤣

@savjottoor7910 - I took it through the car wash with a bottom blast to get most of it off. It is recommended to do at least that first!

@jackharding98 - good eye my friend! 🌮 it certainly is!!! 🤣

@manymeez1406 - thank you 🙏 and thanks for watching! It’s a game changer for the short cab!

@Lux2133 - Awww - Happy Holidays!!!

@TracyTroyer, our presents have survived……so far.

@JoshuaNewman-h8d, we are lucky he only did that one time and not up in the tree.

@Portie2216 it gets really fun when they poop at the bottom of the tree lmao

@CLs-m3j, we are lucky the angle at the top with moving wings was not too tempting, that’s what he was looking at from the chair.

@DamienH-y9g - I haven't heard that, interesting - I'll have to look into that. Nothing I saw in the Porsche repair manual had that instruction, although I could've missed it. I will say, so far so good with the change though - been a few months and several thousand miles on the clock.

@Portie2216 great,thank you.

@DamienH-y9g - yes you can, make sure you keep your foot firmly planted on the brake so you don't rock off the jack stands. Going through the gears allows the transmission to heat up and get the oil all around the gears and throughout the trans.

@Portie2216 I've been trying this but the display doesn't change from 1 (first gear) maybe the wheels have to be spinning?

@@DamienH-y9g If I'm remembering correctly you'll only be able to hit 1st, reverse and neutral - that should do the trick! You won't be able to get higher than first unless the wheels are spinning but that is not needed. Just 1st, reverse and neutral - go back and forth every so often until you hit temp. I think I let it sit in each gear for 10 seconds or so - no magic time frame that I recall. Good luck!

@jackharding98 - thank you for the AWESOME comments, appreciate it! Hope your 30k service goes well - let us know how it all goes!!!

I'll post a video to my KZbin channel when I do it, and I'll give your channel a shout-out 👍​@Portie2216

@jackharding98 - right on and good luck!! 👍🏻

@KreugerAmg - it should be right below or next to the Short when watching depending on what device you’re watching on. If not here is the link: PCCM+ Porsche 911 (996) Upgrade to Wireless - Oh So Sweet!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2fIl5doZZZjntE. - enjoy!!!

@michiganadventures2784 - sure thing, send an email to us with your contact info and what your looking to program and we’ll text you back to set something up!

What is your email?

@ I’m near flint. Would like to set up repeaters in the area. Also GMRS frequency’s. What is your email?

@michiganadventures2784 - sure thing, send an email to us with your contact info and what your looking to program and we’ll text you back to set something up! Replied the same on the other thread - hit us up!

How can I email you? You do not have a email listed?

No response?

@michiganadventures2784 - sorry about the delay, email is [email protected]. Listed on our About page as well.

@marcocom6963 - I absolutely love it! So much easier with the wireless charger tray/shelf from Autobahn Engineering- it is spot on! Massive upgrade for the 996 - glad you liked it!!!

From Mick: @sim8324, thanks for watching and you are correct the unit has gaskets. At time of making video I found a note saying units are IP65 rated, now I see IP67, look up the IP rating chart, 65 says good against jets of water, 67 says 30 minutes in up to one meter of water. I may dig into that some more. These seem to be good little units.

From Mick: @daveengstrom9250, thanks for watching. There are privacy tones which can be used when talking directly to someone, simplex. If programed, the sending unit must match what is programmed on the receiving unit. Similar to repeaters, a tone must be programmed in the sending unit to “open” repeater to receive signal

From Mick: @xbrizzcakez, thanks for watching, words of confidence, and good suggestion. Let’s hope it’s a while til I gotta sweet pipes again, and let’s hope I remember your suggestion.

@@Portie2216 the end game is no leaks, however you get there, thanks

🤣 we’ll get er out when it’s sunny and dry!!! No salt!!!!

From Mick: @KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-304, yes, I used the CHIRP software and set up on the computer. Thanks for watching!!!!

@ okay yeah manual programming you csnt name channels lol

From Mick: @kchedville, thanks for watching. I need to test output watts again, I just realized I tested watts on a simplex channel and not a repeater channel, i’ll test again shortly and post an update. 73’s

@@Portie2216 Thanks for the reply - will be watching out for you next post. :)

From Mick: @Mario-Bangood, thanks for watching, you are correct, the radio did have Bluetooth already. It was my error, I found out it had BT after posting. One viewer indicated using the dongle could reduce wear and tear on internal components. Thanks again.

From Mick: @ThePainWhisperer, 🤣 thanks for the comment and watching, these small radios do a lot of stuff and I learn more each day. Thanks again.

@publicapeakingbasics - thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!!!!

From Mick: @ThePainWhisperer, thanks for the nice comment. It was fun making that with the kids over the summer here in MI.

From Mick: @stevenwright5483, I do like the display, nicely laid out, but the red color text is hard to read in bright daylight

@christopherboutsioukos7476 - I held the weatherstripping down and rolled the window up, then pushed the weatherstripping down while rolling the window down. Takes a few cycles but you’ll eventually get it seated!

From Mick: @YangiTheCat, thanks for watching and the nice comment, much appreciated. It’s always fun here in MI during the summer and what better way to test equipment.

@ I’m gonna get this first walkie talkie I will use for climbing. Do you think battery life good for a full day of standby?

From Mick: @YangiTheCat, I have not let the radio run all day. I’ll try one Saturday, so check back after weekend.

@@Portie2216 Haha that's dedication, no need to I saw other review already that said its pretty good!

From Mick: @YangiTheCat, the radio was fully charged by 8:00 am and was still at two power bars at 8:00 pm. I did key it up several times to test charge. If you are going to talk a lot, maybe you want to bring a small power bank with you, as the radio charges via USB-C.

From Mick: @Tobys-Dad, I’ve heard that several times so looked into spurious emission and found top end radios have them also but generally at much lower strength levels. I may dig into them a little more. Thanks for watching.

From Mick: @benjaminleslie3155, Stihls run great, I’m still using the original spark plug and original air filter. I hope I did not just jinks myself after 18 years.
