A great watch, thanks. As far as the remote operated mirrors - turns out that is only a 3LZ option. I went from a C8 stingray 3LT to a C8Z 2LZ and lost that option in the menu. (still has folding mirrors but only with the button on the door panel) - Two other tips that are cool - if you have an HTC, drop the rear window to delete any and all drone in full open exhaust setting. Lastly, when you park, you dont have shift to park, just turn off the Z and it does that button push for you instantly.

A variation on the hook method is to hook up under the leading edge of the small door mounted air intake scoop.

Also for a 2024 model year you can flick the frunk down as well by putting your finger in the hook and pull down and flick about a foot before it closes. The motor will sense it and close the lid without touching the paint. Now Justin you might not know that one since your car did not come with the cool frunk closer 😂

Jason, regarding tip# 4. Unlike the coupe, the HTC does not have a handle to close the trunk. Instead, i have used the finger hook methodology you used on door closing but on the trunk. Insert hook into latch, pull down, then press on logo.

@HorsePowerObsessed 3 ай бұрын

Perfect! The finger hook works in all sorts of places! 😂

@ItsIntelligent 3 ай бұрын

For my HTC i just hold that tan area underneath the trunk lid and give it a good pull down fast, it will then soft close by itself no need to push the trunk 😉

I did the colored strip behind the windshield etching but there's a gap behind the windshield and above the dash and haven't figured out how to get the color to actually be up against the back of the windshield so there doesn't appear to be a gap when you look at it from the outside. Since there is a foam strip dust shield between the dash and the windshield, it's hard to put in some type of spacer behind the colored strip to hold it up against the back of the windshield. I would suggest for anyone that hasn't used the mechanical key feature to unlock the car that they try it out in the comfort of their own garage or driveway before they have to do it in a parking lot at night with no lights. The key will go in in two different positions but one of the positions will not let you turn it enough to fully unlock as it hits the side of the body. Before using the ring underneath the dash to open the front, I would suggest wrapping something around your finger because it requires a significant amount of effort to open and it feels like it's going to cut your finger. 😟 Thanks for the video as I learn several things that I didn't previously know about. 👍

I appreciate it! I folded my vinyl in half to help push it against the window better if that helps at all

@marct9360 3 ай бұрын

Great idea! I'll give it a try. When I was experimenting with different ideas, I always connected a piece of monofilament fishing line to the color strip to facilitate removal if it didn't go right. Glad I did.

Washing itself would be awesome! That was NOT the noise I was hearing, but at one point it was that's how I knew it was an issue.

@jackdawson3983 2 ай бұрын

For closing the door, you don't have to hook your finger into the latch device, as you can simply put it to the left (not inside the latch) and swipe it closed. This eliminates the possibility of getting your finger caught in the latch as the door closes.

Here’s another tip for 2024 models. With the soft close feature on the frunk, you can close it without having to put your fingerprints all over it. How? The same way you demonstrated how to close the gas cap. Just slam it…..or actually use more force than you normally would ….if that makes sense.

I need tip 13..How can you keep the mechanic from turning off my PDR when I go for service? On my last visit, I went in for a spoiler replacement and the guy working on it took the car for a joy ride and turned off the PDR so he would not get caught telling what he did with the car only at 175 miles on it

@MooMoo69556 3 ай бұрын

A genuine question i had, do you have the income to buy this car outright or do you have an outrageously high car payment? If it is the car payment, how do you personally feel/balance the fact that your earning power is reduced in your 401k for retirement? This is not to hate or anything, but something i am curious about. I plan on buying one, but a $1k-1400k car payment each month significantly reduces my annual contribution limit to my Roth for retirement. I will buy one outright next year. Some people make over $200k and that may be you, but I don’t want to assume and want some insight from an older fellow. Thankyou for the tips! 🍻

@HorsePowerObsessed 3 ай бұрын

I do not have it paid off but my payment is high. It is offset by the amount of money I make from it here on KZbin/sponsorships. My 401k comes in from some of the other stuff I do, such as my website, my business in Florida (Blackout Tinting), and other side hustles.
