    Re: Post Your Unboxing Pictures!

    I wonder if trying to turn off while inside the car would affect it as well then,since technically I`m inside a metal structure. I plugged mine at the end of the power cord which was like around 10-15 feet from me only. I might return it regardless since I`m not sold on the value for the price which is double of a single unit of the one you mentioned. Mine does have an extendable antenna ,so I want to play around with it more.

    You know what, give me some time to actually unpack the stuffs and try to find it, I just moved to another house I`ll try to simulate what you asked. It would be half the distance though, since it`s only a 2 car garage. I`ll connect it to a light, and try to turn on/off with the remote while sitting in the car. I believe that it should work, I mean, there`s a huge window anyway. Might be a different story if the window is tinted with metallic tint.

    Done!! Here`s the video for you to see and decide whether it`s the right one for you or not. The wall plug is right behind that gray-ish table (SOLID METAL) located next to the light fixture.

    Second video, I put the trunk up to add more interference.

    Quick notes on the one i got :

    So far it seems like you have to point the remote right at the sensor located in the receiver unit. I was vacuuming my buddy`s car and tried to turn it off but i was having to actually look for and aim at the receiver unit and it`s almost like the sensor has to be visible and free of obstructions for it to work....not a good sign. I will give this another try tomorrow and if it`s still the same, i`m returning it. This was recommended to me by another detailer in a FB group, but i do not know if it`s the same model/brand he`s got; I will contact him and confirm.

    Liftmaster carries a "remote light switch" that does the same thing. It allows you to just use a Liftmaster remote. I use them in my garage for fluorescents and in my house for lamps. Just a heads up for anyone needing other options.

    Awesome thanks!!! Ill give those a try, I confirmed the amp rating is good for my vacuum. The one I got seems to do better with the antenna extended, but that`s inconvenient for what I`m trying to use it.

    Sure, no problem! Hope it helps any other members who need something similar to this. I`m thinking to add more lights in the garage and just use the remote as the switch!

    Nice one 512! Is the blue one a waffle towel? Oh yeah, is that a magnet sticker, the smaller one on top of the blue waffle towel?

    Picked up a few Gyeon items. Item not in the picture is another grit guard washboard. Still waiting on Gyeon Tire.

    As much as I would have liked to get them from PBMG, I ended up ordering from another place due to the crazy high shipping costs lately for just a couple items. Hard to beat prime.

    Curious how the antifog works as well. I`ve had a bad taste in my mouth ever since I tried CarPro antifog.

    I like my apron, never mind that it goes down to my ankles.

    Would you please measure those stickers?

    I would really like a good anti-fog product but haven`t heard good reviews on any so far
