What's good? What's bad? What are the best upgrades? How does it stack up against the competition? My honest opinion after over a year owning the Hollywood Racks Destination E, a bike rack designed specifically for ebikes up to 70 lbs. each.

How to Install a Bluetooth Tracker into a Remote Control - Tile Tracker - Logitech Harmony Remote
มุมมอง 464ปีที่แล้ว
A quick walkthrough of how I installed an old Tile Bluetooth tracker into a Logitech Harmony remote. Now the remote's battery can power the tracker indefinitely instead of the built-in Tile battery, which is "non-replaceable." This should work with any tracking device and any remote, assuming the device fits in the remote and the connections points are accessible. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:44 R...

    Great video! I never comment but felt I had to. I spent quite a bit of time reading about all the racks you compared to and it helped me settle on the best rack. I never realized how bad the lights and LP are obscured. That will probably be my side project.

    Nicely done video! Are you still happy with the rack? What is the clearance between the tailgate and the first back as I have a full size rear spare tire mount?

  • @stevenzraick499
    @stevenzraick499 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very well done! What is the best way to ask you some more questions? I have two Lectric eBikes weighing 64 pounds each and Toyota FJ Cruiser with a rear tire mount. None of the racks you compared would seem to be compatible or anything else you can recommend?

    3:47 I also bought the rack. I have safety concerns about their optional light bar not working with my Tesla Model Y. HollywoodRacks claims they can’t help with any solution and so it was returned. I’m curious if your rack’s indicator lights would solve the Tesla compatibility issue? What brand of lights are you using?

  • @blackenigma1054

    Good job, although crutch field stereo makes a wiring harness so that the installer doesn’t cut up the factory wiring.

    Awesome! I didn't see your summary/comparison chart the first time I skimmed the video, but I came to the same conclusions--before I showed the whole thing to the hubs. Great, honest review. We're going to replace our Sport Rider for our Rad Rover 6+s with this, partially based on your review. Thanks!

    You may be able to" just lift" a 50 pound bike instead of using the ramp for the second bike, but I cant. Bought the rack to load heavy bikes.

  • @owlnswan4016
    @owlnswan4016 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Looks so much better. My '91 has the regular head unit with the bass/treble/balance/fade and the premium sound, but I have a NOS head unit with the equalizer waiting to be used. I bought the correct amp for it (used, but its very clean looking). I have not tested everything to see if it needs work, but I'll have that done by whoever adds Bluetooth for me. I will likely switch to Infinity Reference speakers. I'm glad to know an underseat woofer fits, since it gives me an option for an Infinity Basslink Mini re placement besides the hatch.

    I’ve probably watched this vid at least 80 times and can’t for the life of me find where the wire/plug is for my doors to the dash. Previous owner hacked this thing pretty good and not just the audio system. This vid DID explain a ton on getting my fox back to factory. I’ve scoured the internet looking for clues but nada. My fox is an electrical nightmare. Any insight?

    Thanks for a great video. My compliments to you for your enhancements - they're all thoughtful. I just bought this rack a couple of days ago and chose it for basically the same reasons you point out. I'm glad to hear you're happy with it after using it. One detail I also do is use the velcro hold down straps for the top bars to help hold the bar in place when the bikes are mounted. It's just a helpful way to keep the flaps from being loose and could possible help if the bar detached for some reason. Again, thanks for the informative video!

    I remember many yrs ago I owned 4 Fords 86 cougar, 87 cougar, 89 tempo gls, 88 t bird turbo coupe and there was thing they had in common, the speakers would just stop playing one by one and they didn't have premium sound except for the tempo and 87 cougar but by the time I bought the cars someone already removed the premium, the dash then a door speaker wouldn't work anymore but instead of me just figuring out how to fix them I bypassed them with new wires and I was also an oddball person for putting in delco cassette radio from a z24 cavalier in the t bird, had do just a little trimming but it fit pretty good and sounded nice, but I did eventually learn the wiring in them and was considering wiring up the premium sound eq with a jvc cd player but never followed thru with it, I've forgotten just about everything on them Fords from this time, this was close to 20yrs ago, Nice video!

    I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...

    • @kevinsreviews
      @kevinsreviews ปีที่แล้ว

      100% as long as the seat is up high enough for the clamp to grab. This is how I do it now. It can be a little finicky, but not bad. You can see it in my updated review: th-cam.com/video/I1_c603vVNc/w-d-xo.htmlm28s Just remember to take off the battery to stay within the 70lb. limit (RadRover 6 is 72.5 lbs)

    Hey Kevin, I liked your review very much! I wish you would have compared this Hollywood Rack to the Yamika Onramp. Who mostly buys e-bikes? Seniors. Who can't lift a heavy e-bike on a bike ramp? Seniors or anyone that for some reason doesn't have the strength. So ramps are super important for these people. When you showed the hassles of loading the bikes using the ramp, and then ended up saying that basically, you don't use the ramp because of the hassles, I said to myself - forget this bike rack. One last point. I care very much about how the rack looks on the back of the car when not carrying bikes. I think this rack comes up way too high and looks ugly. So I actually want to thank you since I might have bought this rack (and been disappointed) had I not seen your well-done review. All the best!

    As I understand the Foxbody Mustang Radio's, the one in the video is a normal radio which you seem to have added an amp. The premium radio is push button. The football amp (the one with the holes in it) is mounted behind the radio. In 1993, they went to a different amp and with a special harness running under the carpet, it was mounted under the passenger seat. It is the one without the holes in it. I could go and look up part numbers as I have some extra ones that I am hoarding.
