    why isn't my sync bluetooth working in my mustang?

    Tinting the windows could have an effect if the tint material is metallic. Try to re-establish the BT connections by following the instructions for the devices and the Sync system. It is possible that the Sync system failed independently, but at the exact time when the tint job was done...

    What is the battery life of a DJ175 Alinco 5 Watt VHF 2 Meter Handheld?

    Receiving consumes very little power; transmitting consumes a lot of power. Refer to the owner's manual for theoretical use time per charge. Most such data is idealistic, not realistic, so don't expect anywhere near the time claimed. * A second battery pack would be a very good idea...

    Radio Shack Pro 94A Handheld Scanner; Programming talk groups?

    Programming trunked systems into any scanner is relatively complex, and unless it can be done by computer, it takes a LOT of button-pressing, in precisely the correct sequence. There is an alternative manual for the Pro94 at marksscanners.com; you might have a look at it to see if it is easier...

    DVD player - Puts disc in, starts reading and spinning, then stops?

    There are several possible faults, none of which an ordinary person can either diagnose or correct. Either take it to a repair shop to have it dealt with, or replace the functions of the built-in player with an external DVD or Blu-Ray player. My guess is that a buying new player will be a...

    Can someone make me a full sized dvd slip?

    There are 'kits' for the purpose. Look for them. If you want to be able to print the original artwork, you'll first have to find a source for it. I make my own hand-lettered inserts by cutting ordinary paper to size. >> Owning a decent paper trimmer is a good idea for this -- and many...

    Can you/ how do you convert exclusive VHS releases to DVD Format?

    I use a VCR and one or more DVD recorders. >> All-in-one units won't copy protected titles. Period. Separate machines allow connection of a "video stabilizer" (I have a SIMA "GoDVD!" CT-2) to enable copying.

    Can i test a home audio subwoofer with a car audio amplifier?

    The type of amplifier used for testing should not matter, but something else might. Before attempting to test it, you need to know which of the two main types of subwoofer you have. If the sub has a built-in amplifier, very little power needs to be applied to its input to test it, and if it...

    Duracell go mobile charger batteries question?

    Don R has the right idea, but if anyone actually has the good fortune to get a thousand cycles out of a set of rechargeables, I'd like to see some proof. I'll believe 400 to 500 cycles.
