Or a basic, extra-low-heat, timed dry cycle.

The car I'd bought had the stereo (also recent) from the previous proprietary installed, it requires an app otherwise many controls are not accessible, other than that the official app doesn't get much support and I saw a lot of users complaining about.
I did just found another stereo.
By the way, behind me at the mechanic workshop there was a person asking for a sticker to put near the oil change, complaining about that he also can't open the hood on his brand new car LOL.

I even asked in the store to show me what happens when the TV is power cycled to make sure it stays on the same input; it did. But once we got it setup at home, there is a "timeout" on staying on the same input.
I think I have a work around, but it is a kludge.
Also, it doesn't have any buttons on the TV itself, so if the remote stops working, then what? This is the first TV/disaplay I've purchased without any buttons.
I purchased the TV because it had good reviews for its price. This will be my last TCL product.

Can you use a power strip (with a button)?
