wow this is cool, new aftermarket dash

[roaniecowpony]

I’ve bought a lot of cheap Sh*t in my day, But I’ve never bought a set of “Ling-Long or Sail-un” tires.

If you bought Toyo tires, you may have bought Chinese tires, depending on the size/type.

Only Toyo’s I’ve ever bought have been R888r When I had my A7. Good tires. But i was referring to the brand ling long and sail-un… lol.

One of my wife's vehicles had Kumho Solus tires on it when it was purchased. They were made in South Korea, not China...although, Kumho is owned by the Chinese Double star Group.

Anyway, their poor performance in any/all inclement weather was such that they were the only tires I ever replaced well before age or treadwear compelled me to do so. That wasn't an inexpensive choice, but I'm reminded of the experience whenever cheap tires of obvious ChiCom provenance on late model cars and trucks.

I had a bad experience with Kumho tires. Maybe 20 years ago, I bought a set of them from TireRack. When I left the installer, I got on the freeway and thought there was about 10 psi in the tires. There was no steering response and the truck (3/4 ton GM) wallowed around dangerously. I went back and had the tire pressure bumped up to the max (80 psi) and drove it. No change. I called TireRack and hounded them for a couple weeks before they took them back.

Sorry, off topic---

My wife's last DD, a brand new '18 VW Beetle Convertible that came with Kumho tires on it. At the time there were no other brands available from VW for it. What crap they were - terrible in the rain, rough ride, and poor snow traction. After the first snow storm I immediately went to Discount Tire and purchased a set of Continentals for it. Night and day difference. I used to work for Goodyear for a number of years and I'm particular to what tires I purchase. I've never purchased a set of crap tires like them, and never will.

I look forward to the day I can yell at people for being on the lawn I own

Just pick a lawn, and tell people to get off it! That‘s what I do ?

Not bad.... Just not for me..

If the infotainment screen is wide enough to display the full song title, I'm in.

I can't believe it's 2022, we have high resolution touch screens, and just like back in the single-DIN days I still can't see a full song title.

It's funny how some people automatically equate anything "Chinese" with being junk.

Ya. I think it’s a case of 95% of Chinese products give the other 5% a bad name.

That's certainly true on the 5" screen of my Uconnect 3.
Are song titles also truncated on the 7" and 8.4" screens? That's ridiculous.

Funny how hitting your finger with a hammer automatically equates pain..............

I'm not a fan of the all digital dash. The Bronco had that when I test drove it, didn't care for it. Maybe I'm just old..... back in my day, we had red lines that mechanically moved.

We have 2 w/ the 7" screen and 1 w/ the 8.4" screen. Truncated on all of them. It was that way on the 8.4" in my WK2 as well. It's ridiculous.

I love the look of it, but losing a vent just for aesthetics...idk

I think the worse part about this dash, is it looses the vent for aesthetics only. There’s no screens in that area and could easily leave the vent.

 

[weeitsmikelee]

Not bad. Wish they kept the vent (smaller screen) and made the center bezel symmetrical.
