Installing a Tankless Electric Water Heater - Rheem RTEX 240v 13kw in My House
You will save a lot of ppl a bunch of money with this trick, but also every HVAC guy in town now hate your guts 🤣
Thanks I am supposed to be buying the house I am in but want to take the unit with me if I buy something else.... unless this guy pays me for it! Learned a landscape tip too!
I am glad that you made this video...I have the same problem of being a renter but wanting to have a mini-split...thank you for the information :)
Nobody gives a shit about your truck
Just want to convey my appreciation for this video. It gave me a thorough overview to attack this myself. 1000 thumbs up!
Thinking about buying one of these, have you had any issues in this time?
Congrats getting through making this video without cursing the KARR company and the dealers. When will they learn customers dont want this garbage! I recommend to EVERYONE, if you go to a dealer and they have KARR on the window or anywhere, leave immediately and go to another dealer. My new truck chirps the horn all night telling me the alarm isnt set, then when Im trying to wash my truck with the doors unlocked, it sets the alarm off because the truck is shaking. I hate KARR so so much.
I did the headlight and fog light upgrade several years ago, huge improvement over the stock bulbs. I also did the interior light, I'm no longer in the dark with the light on...
Hello Davin~ Thanks for a very comprehensive video on this topic. I agree that the audio system in the early Z3 models is inferior; maybe the quality improved with the 00+ Z4s? I was most impressed by the holes you cut for the added speakers behind the seats. I recently picked up a '97 Z3. My car already has two speakers in that location (looks like 2.5"-2.75"). I plan to replace all the speakers as well as the media unit (HU). What were the speaker sizes in the doors? Also, would a pin-out schematic or wiring diagram/table of the connector on the rear of the OEM head unit exist? This would be tremendously-helpful info. to source a replacement Plug 'n Play HU. 3+ years on ... Subscribed! Thanks.
Thanks A lot! Just pulled one out of my Honda. I pulled the wires off and left the pink clips...
thank you my friend. You are a wealth of information👍👍
It sounds very smooth. i like it. I take off my hat to you but that's an upgrade, I would not ever do. I installed Headman headers to my 1970 El Camino and I was replacing gaskets, monthly. The most stupid upgrade I ever did and since I had thrown away my multiple exhaust, I had to buy another one to never again, have that problem. Y0ur exhaust sounds much better than a muffler delete this guy did to his white Z3.
It seems you violated numerous building, electrical, mechanical, and fire codes. Well done.
Code schmode
dude, really?
What if I've connected my lines and opened them up but never turned it on and can't get power to it?
You basically show zero installation
Do i need to 100% shut off the power to the area or is it enough if i just press the power button on the remote. I got some concerning sparking sounds after just pressing the power button
Whoever originally installed this Mini Split, did a ghetto rig job don’t look like a professional job, the lines and wires are just hanging without protection no line and wire cover
Thanks for video. Keep up the good work.
Yes let's make a tuning video and not drive the car why would anyone hit like
Cut out the car nonsense or change title
I understand this is not a current video, but just for reference, the removal process applied to a 2019 Civic as well. Had a failed module, with a crank no start condition after a repossession and new fob programmed. Appreciate your time, editing, and posting of this content.
This leaves all the details specific to the Rheem 13 out and just tells how to run things in his house.
Thanks Santa!
GREAT VIDEO. have to remove those POS KARR alarm. Disgusting dealers splicing virgin factory harnesses on $40k cars
Question! Do you by chance know how to take out the indoor unit? I have the same system but for some reason i can’t Unclip it out the wall mount
Tabs on the bottom
What size are the front speakers?
Use ur pipe cutters next time like a pipe vice! Just squeeze gently!
for the love of God why does nobody show how to do the driver's side kick panel? even Crutchfiled chickened out. the hood pull is integrated into it.
What is the purpose of these stupid alarms ??? Does California mandate dealerships to install these ?? So weird.
Oh man thank you. I'm moving my minisplit to a new home so this is the exact tutorial I needed. TY again.
I have a MH with all windows on one wall, I've been trying to rack my brain how we could install one and I think this method will work great! Thanks for the idea!
This gonna sound stupid but surely you can just take the cable of the runner so it no longer actuates and that shouldnt cause an error because the cable will still pull when it needs to it just wont actually do anything ?
Technically you can just unplug it but its still a restriction of airflow by design.
Baking Soda is the same as Washing Soda. Just slowly 'bake' the the Baking Soda and Voila! Washing Soda. So, skip the Baking Soda because there's literally no point to using both products.
Hi there, I have a 2003 z4 2.5 does the same thing. My question is do we need to replace both the fuel filter and the pressure pump or either one would be enough. Thank you!
I know this comment is late but always do both.
Is this a video on buying and selling vehicles?
If I wanted to shorten the lineset would it become over charged?
Where the dyno video
Is the unit supposed to be on AC or heat or does it matter
Had same question
Thanks again for this super helpful video. Question: Would there be an problem with just removing the module and splicing the ignition wire back together, but leaving all the sensor leads from the door locks and windows connected? I believe they are all inputs to the module, and with the module jumpered out and powdered off, they should not have impact. Right?
How many miles on that fuel pump? Thanks
That was smart that you didn't drill a hole through the exterior wall otherwise you would have had to leave the installed unit behind or deal with the liability.
Show how connected the wires?
You talk to much.
3 years later... Thumbs up Davin. I'm redoing my whole system and was looking for info on accessing tweeters / removing the door panel. FWIW, and for people seeing this in the future... At least with the Harman Kardon system, the stock amp in the trunk has the crossovers. You can purchase component speakers for the footwell / door tweeters either like yours (and have to get the wiring between the door and the footwell) or with a separate crossover that can be installed anywhere. Since I am replacing my factory amp and trying to use all existing wiring, I am buying component speakers with the separate crossover that will just stay in the trunk near the amp and output to [one of] the existing midrange/high speaker wire and existing woofer speakerwire.
Thanks. I'll may be disconnecting my Gree outside unit temporarily while I have a contractor excavate. Good information.
Thanks for this. My battery died because of the drain on my system from one of these "dealer special" alarms.
will this work on other toyotas? like the tacoma for example. and did you have to take out drivers seat? cause i am a bigger dude and not sure i can get between seat and dash
It should be the same for most cars. You can take the seat out. Just disconnect the battery first, and there are a few electrical plugs under the seat that should be disconnected.
@@davinsrandom3142 started that project but, found a black and white ribbon cable that was behind mirror(transmitter) it went all the way down to the alarm system unplugged part, but then found it was wedged in behind air duct and connected to bigger box. how do i get that out, do i have to go through heater controls?
Your method worked great and you probably just saved me a load of cash. Thanks mate!
you ifnornt
