Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe With Do-It-Yourself Programming

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe With Do-It-Yourself ProgrammingThis was not the remote for my Tahoe, however it was a GM remote and still worked, I am not downgrading it for that, as it warns of that in the description. Why I am downgrading this, the instructions were completely useless, basically telling me to use a website. That website did not have the instructions for my Tahoe. Fortunately, thanks to the internet and its wonderful search capabilities, I did get it to work. However, once it worked, the batteries that came with it were so weak I had to unlock my Tahoe from close enough to touch it. Once I bought new batteries, I got a little bit more range, but it still only works within about 15 paces from my Tahoe. Overall though, I fear I did get what I paid for, because this price is outrageously low.

Would still consider buying again because of the price.

Wagan 2401 Smart AC 150 USB II Inverter

Wagan 2401 Smart AC 150 USB II InverterThis unit is smaller than I thought, which was a nice surprise. I've used it to charge my phone during my commute, when I failed to otherwise charge it at home and it does the job as advertised and does it well.

I chose this unit for its overload and surge protection. Two outlets and one USB port are certainly nice features as well! No need to buy a car charger for your phone if you can simply use the inverter and charge using the standard charger which came with your phone. You can bet this will make my emergency kit.

I purchased this inverter to keep in my truck when traveling. It's come in handy on several trips now, so I'm glad I got it despite initially not being sure I was ever really going to need it.

We recently completed a three week, 3400 mile auto trip. This inverter worked perfectly to keep our laptop and other electronics charged while we were on the road. The USB output of this inverter isn't sufficient to charge the new iPads (hence my recommendation that you purchase the newer model), but plugging in a power strip loaded with iPad and other low wattage chargers solved that problem. Doing that also provided some extra isolation between the car's 12V supply and the expensive electronic devices being charged...I trust the Apple brand chargers to protect their products.

7" Red Police Beacon Light

Rhode Island Novelty 7' Red Police Beacon LightNot a whole lot to say about this product for the time being, especially considering I just received the product today, however it appears to be made of good quality material and does its job as advertised. Unfortunately it does rotate faster than my blue beacon light but it is of a different brand so its not the lights fault. It also comes with a sturdy hanging wire for upside down mounting. The motor seems to be more quiet than my other beacon so all in all great purchase for the price.

This item worked as expected. I used it for a special effects and it did fine. It's inexpensive, plastic and about what you would expect for such a low price.

For the pretend policeman who has everything else to make his fantasy play come true. This is the topper, literally, and turns any bicycle or other conveyance into a police car. Perfect for kids that still have that old fashioned imagination, and think that playing outside is what summer is all about.

This light is really good especially for the price! I just wish that the bulb did not have a 2 hour duty cycle because I forgot about that and it blew out, oh well. The only other con is that over time I started to hear a sound when it rotated but some music will cover that up with ease

It does not work with the Iphone 5. It does not charge the phone at all and the adapter gets REAL hot when plugged into the car. Not even worth the price to pay to send it back. Don't order this.

Sanyo 23AE 5-Pack 12V Car Alarm Alkaline Batteries

Sanyo 23AE 5-Pack 12V Car Alarm Alkaline Batteriesthey state that they have 23AE batteries and they don't they have 23A if I needed that battery I would have purchased it. My device needs the specific battery 23AE. they did however get the product to me rather quickly I will give them credit for that.

Excellent price for a product that is a substitute for Duracell at a fraction of the price. Product was delivered promptly and without damage.

Husky Liners Custom Fit Second Seat Floor Liner for Select Jeep Commander/Grand Cherokee WK Models

Husky Liners Custom Fit Second Seat Floor Liner for Select Jeep Commander/Grand Cherokee WK ModelsAfter buying our new Jeep, this was the first purchase I made along with the matching front Husky floor mats and rear cargo tray. The material is super thick and durable and it's essential if you live in a rainy town like Portland. The mats fit perfectly on the rear floor with no sliding around an there is a small lip that will hold any water in. These cover so much more of the carpet than the stock floor mats it's pretty much a no brainer if you want to keep your car looking nice.

The best part about these rear mats is that they cover the center hump in the floor where people put their feet if you have someone sitting in the middle. No other floor mats I found did this. Also, these cover all the little nooks and crannies on the floor where food and dirt likes to drop but you can't vaccuum it up! This is really key if you have small children who make a mess. I can't sany a single bad thing about them and really Jeep should put these in their cars stock.

Also, I like how they have the diamond plating stamped into the mats that stick out a little but the grooves aren't so deep you can't clean them with a rag. That was my complaint about the stock OEM rubber Jeep mats is the groovs were like an inch thick so it was pretty much impossible to clean the floor mats without a pressure washer. These wipe right up. Amazon also had the best price on this of anywhere I found, especially with the free shipping.

Floor Liners are awesome. Fit perfect in my Jeep Grand Cherokee and work very well especially living at the beach.

Bluetooth 2.0 3.5mm A2DP Stereo Plug Audio Dongle Transmitter - US Version- Black

Bluetooth 2.0 3.5mm A2DP Stereo Plug Audio Dongle Transmitter - US Version- Black

  • Turn your regular home stereo into a Bluetooth-enabled, wireless streaming machine.
  • You are able to control music choices as it plays from the pc or laptop directly to the stereo system.
  • Bluetooth audio adapter allows travelers because its mini size .
  • Wireless adaptor connects directly to ipod series.

To all intrested this is a bluetooth reciever meaning it will recieve music signals from bluetooth devices such as cell phones or tablets. You can then plug the cable onto any 3.5 mm input such as in your car reciever or use adapters and plug into a home stero. It does have good uses.

What it wont do is pair with bluetooth headsets. If you want to use it to transmite sound from a tv or mp3 player or any non bluetooth device it will not work. It only recieves bluetooth it will not transmit anything

no instructions came with my bluetooth dongle

I tried to pair by holding the power button on the dongle until it flashed blue and red, at the same time on the motorola hd10 I held the power button until it was steady blue which is the pairing mode. Then nothing happens.

Read Best Reviews of Bluetooth 2.0 3.5mm A2DP Stereo Plug Audio Dongle Transmitter - US Version- Black Here

Reading the other reviews, I knew that there was trouble syncing it with certain devices. So when tests showed I couldn't sync it with either of the Bluetooth headsets we have, I was frustrated, but not all that surprised. I went back to amazon to look for another brand to try instead.

In my searches, I found that there are similar devices which are receivers, allowing you to plug normal non-Bluetooth headphones in and receive Bluetooth audio. One looked very, very similar (TaoTronics BTI-005 Bluetooth Audio Dongle Receiver), and I remembered that when I'd opened the package for the item, there was a male-to-male coupler included. I had actually thought to myself, "Why is there a coupler in here...why would I plug headphones in to a transmitter?"

To test my suspicion, I plugged some old headphones into the coupler, then the device, and tried to pair it with my cell phone instead of a headset. Ta-da...it's a receiver. I double checked the package, and there's a sticker that clearly labels it a transmitter...must've been one of those occasional Amazon packaging mix-ups, first time it's happened to me.

I'll see if I can get the right version, or a different brand, and update my review.

P.S. For what it's worth, the receiver did work pretty well.

Want Bluetooth 2.0 3.5mm A2DP Stereo Plug Audio Dongle Transmitter - US Version- Black Discount?

No problems here other than it doesn't remember devices very well... Most times I have to add it new which only takes a few seconds...

This Blue-tooth transmitter has worked flawlessly for me. It will automatically sync with other Blue-tooth receivers. I use a Sony Blue-tooth head phones that works perfectly. This device will make most any non Blue-tooth one way audio device transmit with Blue-tooth capabilities. Charge time for me has been between 2-3 hours and I can get 4-5 hours of use on a full charge. I would recommend this device to anyone that needs to add one way audio Blue-tooth to a non Blue-tooth device.

HQRP 30W Flexible Solar Panel Power 30 Watt 12V Mono-crystalline PV Module w/ 4 Stainless Grommets

HQRP 30W Flexible Solar Panel Power 30 Watt 12V Mono-crystalline PV Module w/ 4 Stainless Grommets for RV Boat Yacht plus HQRP UV Chain / UV Radiation Health TesterHave had this flexible solar panel for just a few days so far. This panel has grommets along the edges for easy mounting, I used rubber tarp straps to mount this to a 100 gallon cylindrical fuel tank. It charges the deep cycle battery that runs the pump that was already in place. I used to put the battery on a charger every night the pump was used, with the solar charge is not necessary, is virtually maintenance free now. I bought a square framed panel first, did not take long to figure out this was going to be a nightmare getting a square panel mounted to a round tank. With this flex style do not have to worry about rocks and gravel kicking up on the panel either. This is a perfect solution, looks to be well made, hopefully I will get many years of use out of it too.

Here is my blog about the project.

I got a HQRP 30W Flexible Solar Panel Power 30 Watt 12V Mono-crystalline PV Module for my boat to replace an ancient 11 watt Flx-11 solar panel that is no longer made. The HQRP 30 Watt panel is roughly 16 X 34 inches. The old 11 watt panel was 30 inches by 16 inches. 19 more watts, in 4 inches more length, shows a LOT more watt density than in Ye Olden Dayes! It sits on a Bimini Top on my sailboat, so I had to round off the sharp corners on the aluminum sheet substrate with some tin-snips. It's been installed for three weeks now and even with all the rain plaguing the Southeastern U.S. lately, STILL keeps my Group 29 battery fully float-charged into a solar array charger. The grommets were useful for tying to my Bimini Top frame.

A good buy, with good performance; what more could you ask?

Why not that (coveted) 5th star?

The web-site picture that shows the panel semi-folded is roughly 1 or 2 degrees from the point where you start damaging the printed-on crystalline structure. You are NOT going to roll that thing up to store it, but so far, that has not been an issue on my boat.

Special Kudos to Amazon:

When UPS decided NOT to deliver my package because they thought I had moved (33 years in same location, yeah, right) Amazon not only took back the returned panel, and did NOT charge me any re-stocking fees, they sent me ANOTHER panel with NO shipping charges.

Any company can take care of a customer when things are going well; the mark of a GREAT company is how well they take care of you when things are going very badly.

Thanks, Amazon!

I have only had this one for about a month, and it works well to keep the battery on my boat charged. It is lighter and thinner than the others I have bought at the same power level.

While it is flexible, it is not as flexible as the Amazon write up makes it look. Not a big problem, but it affects how you can mount it.

Good value for money.

This panel is not capable of producing more than about 15 W under bright sunlight. This is confirmed by the data on the label on the back of the panel, where the short-circuit current is rated at a little over 1 ampere. The panel is also misdescribed in that there are six grommets, not four. If the product specifications were given, I would've bought something else. This is a general problem with product descriptions on Amazon. In most cases over the last few years, the Amazon listings have been very incomplete. I find out more, but not enough, from the customer reviews.

Want HQRP 30W Flexible Solar Panel Power 30 Watt 12V Mono-crystalline PV Module w/ 4 Stainless Grommets Discount?

I installed two of them (parallel) a year ago on my 36' sailboat on deck right under the boom, so I step on them quite often. It's more than enough for GPS, windex and echolot under rain. The best what I measured from both 3A in sunny day (sun angle was maybe 70 degree) worst just after sunset 0.5 A. Obviously you cannot expect one panel would give you 30W in real life (maybe in the cosmos).

I give 5 stars, but it is not clear 5. Panels are flexible so could be placed on a curved surface, like a deck, but the huge mounting wholes gave me hard time to mount panels nicely.

I payed $140 for each a year ago

RoadPro RP-2090 12V Super Loud Alarm Clock

RoadPro RP-2090 12V Super Loud Alarm ClockThe unit will run on the included 9 volt battery. BUT the unit sent will sound when you hit the "light/snooze" button. This means you CANNOT pack it in a duffle or suitcase as anything touching that bar causes it go off. The "alarm" also chirps every time you hit the HR or MIN button to set the time or alarm which is aggravating. And it does all this even if the alarm is set to off. A minor problem for a truck driver perhaps but a deal breaker for this reviewer who needs to pack it in luggage. It is neat that the clock works on either 12 volts or the included 9 volt battery; but the mentioned design "feature" will mean you need to pull the battery out before packing. AND if you don't want alarm to sound when you hit snooze or when you set the time or alarm, pass this clock by.

This is the loudest, most obnoxious alarm I've ever heard but it does the job! My teenager now gets up!!!!

Buy RoadPro RP-2090 12V Super Loud Alarm Clock Now

We needed a loud alarm clock for our recent trip to Europe. With so many train and plane schedules, we were afraid to rely on the hotel's wake-service. The RoadPro Super Loud Alarm Clock worked very well. It was reliable and loud enough to wake anyone. It is necessary to remove the battery when in the suitcase as it will sound the alarm when the buttons touched.

I like it and like the sound however I don't know when it will work. When it does work the sound goes off a few times and quits. It is not continous. I still need a good alarm clock.

Want RoadPro RP-2090 12V Super Loud Alarm Clock Discount?

Road Pro stuff is generally pretty good, but this is a winner because it is INEXPENSIVE and VERY LOUD! Remember to take out the 9 volt battery when traveling, and change the 9 volt battery on a regular basis (to maintain clock accuracy) and you will have a good product that will last. I plan on buying another!

Equus 3721 Battery and Charging System Monitor

Equus 3721 Battery and Charging System MonitorThe picture on Amazon site is not correct. This battery monitor shows the voltage value with .01 precision (or two digits after decimal point). That is far more then enought to tell the battery status. I put it in the car, it automatically switches between "battery status monitoring" and "charging status monitoring". When the engine is stopped, it is in "battery status monitoring mode", when engine is running, it will be in "charging status monitoring" mode. Amazon's price is even bettern then Walmart. Definitely a great value buy. Will recommend this item to my friends.

Seemingly just another auto gadget fortunately the Equus 3721 is more sophisticated than its ponderous description. A breeze to connect to any car's 12 Volt electrical system. Simply push into the lighter socket or an auxiliary power outlet now found in many newer vehicles.

With the engine running the instrument constantly displays battery condition with an LED light; amber when marginal, red if the battery is discharging. A green light indicates a correctly functioning electrical system. All is well with both battery and, most importantly, the alternator.

The Equus is also an accurate voltmeter. Digital read-outs give exact voltage in the electrical system. Potential alternator problems or a failing battery will be indicated by below normal voltages, plus an amber or red light. Extra information is a battery icon graphically showing total battery charge. Tending towards erratic read-outs, and therefore unreliability, it is not the unit's best feature.

Equus's instruction card is easy to understand. The unit is well made, sturdy, easy to connect and to transfer to any 12 volt system not having its own voltmeter. Also, as a supplemental monitor in an RV, or a bigger boat with a remote 12 Volt outlet in a sleeping area far from the main instrument panel, overall battery condition condition can be monitored while camping or at anchor.

Good value for money; very useful. From personal use, recommended.

Buy Equus 3721 Battery and Charging System Monitor Now

The Honda 2005 civic has a marginal charging system. This meter is ideal for determining when it is time to turn off the radio to reduce load on the alternator. Voltage reading is very accurate, much better than 1% as measured against a small Beckman pocket meter, which in turn has been checked against a Powerex Wizard aa cell charger. Warning lights function well.

Some things to note when using this tester: Standard voltage of a 12 volt battery is 12.6 volts. Some deep cycle absorbed glass mat batteries will read 12.8. This is after loading the battery by turning on the headlights for 10 seconds, to remove surface charge. Note that while the lights are on, the voltage drops quickly at first, then the voltage stabilizes. Turning off the lights causes the voltage to rise again gradually. After a few minutes the voltage will stop rising. If the voltage settles at 12.6 (or 12.8 for AGM battery) battery is charged, assuming that the battery is near 68 degrees F. Lower temps raise the voltage, higher temps lower the voltage. For a standard battery figure about 12.66 volts at 32 F and 12.54 volts at 104 F battery temperature, not air temperature.

After a car has been running for awhile with no lights, radio, wipers, AC, heat or window defroster, the alternator may cycle letting the battery voltage drop for a while before kicking in. This is OK provided the charging is steady shortly after turning on the lights. An intermittant alternator will cause the red light to turn on and off when headlights are on.

The bar graph for battery condition is not very useful as the meter has only voltage information.

The instructions do not state that this tester is for negative ground cars only, a small quibble as positive ground is not common.

Had I bought this device six months ago I could have avoided killing a brand new battery in six months.

UPDATE: Still working fine as of May 21, 2013

I purchasted this unit to use in a small aircraft that has no built in battery monitor.

The unit failed within one hour of use.

It was too cheap to bother to send back so I took it apart.

I found two loose screws holding the circuit board and display in place and a bad solder joint.

I repaired the solder joint and tightened the screws and the unit has been working fine ever since.

Unless you are an Electronic Engineer like me I would not recomend this unit.

Strangely enough, the internal components appeared to be high guality.

It was not assembled correctly.

It's OK if it works.

Want Equus 3721 Battery and Charging System Monitor Discount?

just got the monitor from amazon based on the reviews here. the actual device is slightly different from it looks in the picture, with rounder edges. i guess the new product has been revised. also the protective plastic film is extremeply easy to peel off, a bit too easy i would say. or it might have something to do with the weather. here in singapore it's 30C all the time. the device has good build quality. the monitor can show two different tiny icons above voltage reading, under the battery and charging modes. the LCD is clear with bright blue backlight. basically it doesnt cost arm or leg but does all i expected. i will leave it plug in all the time in my car. i am sure i will be alerted by the unusual low voltage one day to realise the time to replace my battery. that will be the time i can recover the cost of this product by saving the expensive recovery service.

Accutire MS-4350B Setpoint Tire Gauge

Accutire MS-4350B Setpoint Tire GaugeI agree with the other reviewers who said this product needs an o-ring. I found it very difficult to get it to seal on the tire valve stem, but with the o-ring it works perfectly. (Why they don't manufacture it that way I don't know). But by getting an inexpensive o-ring from Ace Hardware you have a product that is outstanding. Another reviewer said the size o-ring he bought was 1/4 x 1/8 x 1/16. However I found this size was too small and didn't fit. I had to get 5/16 x 3/16 x 1/16, and it's a perfect fit. And with tax it cost me a mere .18 cents. An easy modification well worth it.

I bought an O-ring at Ace Hardware [stk no.35774B] and this ring fits perfectly into the inside of the sensor. Around the hole which makes contact with the metal tire stem. Walla ! the leak problem has stopped and one gets a very tight fit onto the stem curing the problem.

The exact size of the this rubber O-ring 1/4 x 1/8 x 1/16. [#60 O-ring]

at Ace Hardware. So one does not even need to cut or glue this thing to make it work. Give it a try! Cure the problem for sure. The part cost me

.74 cents.

Buy Accutire MS-4350B Setpoint Tire Gauge Now

The Accutire "Setpoint Tire Gauge," model MS-4350B from "MSI Sensors" (aka "MS-4350: Digital Set Point Programmable..." from "Measurement Specialties"), UPC 1550710566, has seven nice features. First, it's easy to hold. The bottom of the larger-than-usual body is rubberized, and the shape allows you to firmly press it onto a tire valve stem with a thumb. Second, there is an LED light activated by a big round button on the back. Third, the screen is backlit and the numbers are large. Fourth, there is no need to turn it on/off. Instead, you can push the nozzle onto the valve, and it displays the measurement; about 15 seconds later, it turns itself off. Fifth, it beeps when an accurate reading is taken. Sixth, the two CR2032 lithium batteries will presumably last a long time, and can be replaced if they wear out. Finally, if you keep forgetting how much air is needed, you can program separate front & rear target pressures.

UNFORTUNATELY, it's hard to obtain a solid seal on valves. It's the same problem noted here and in reviews of "Accutire MS-4000B Deluxe Backlit Lithium Digital Tire Gauge" on Amazon.com. One September 24, 2004, review there by "Crazy Dude" says "because you're pressing plastic (the gauge) against metal (the tire air stem), you must hold it perfectly flush or air will escape, making a reading difficult to get."

So to improve my gauge I more-or-less followed the instructions of "Crazy Dude," which were: "I used '3M Scotch linerless rubber splicing tape.' The thickness is important. I used .03 in. (.761mm). I wouldn't go any thicker. ... All you need to do is cut it to the diameter of the inside of the gauge's mouth, then cut out a small hole for the air hole."

Since my home has no rubber tape, I took a wide pink rubber band (from a bunch of broccoli) about 0.75mm thick. I cut a gasket about 7.5mm diameter with a 3mm hole and glued it in place. Now it works like a charm. If you have the time to make this modification, buy it from Amazon.com!

The progammable features are nice, but I should have listened to the other reviews. Those folks that said this gauge doesn't make a good seal with the tire were right on the money. The first time I tried it I let at least 5-6 psi out of the tire. After playing with it for about 20min, I still could only get a good seal after letting about 2-3 seconds of air out of the tire. This thing stinks and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Want Accutire MS-4350B Setpoint Tire Gauge Discount?

I can't believe that so many people rate this thing so highly. And I also can't believe that more people don't complain about how non-user friendly it is!

For one thing, you should be able to turn it on and use it, not have to go through several screens just to check your tire pressure! After you program it, when you turn it on the display should immediately come on to the part where you can check either the front or back tire pressure, without having to go through several screens just to get to the one you need.

Moreover, I'm surprised that Charles T. Walsh was the only reviewer who wrote "What's worse is that when it beeps (to tell you that you have a good reading) if you don't immediately remove it, I mean a flash fast muscle twitch reaction, it resets itself and erases the reading it just took." How true, Charles! The thing resets itself so quickly (forcing you to go through the cumbersome task of once again going through several screens just to get to the one to read your tire pressure) that after trying it several times, I also gave up and just used my good old manual standby.

O'well. Different strokes for different folks, I guess!
