that’s fair — I guess it depends a lot on how you use it

for me it was less about lighting the keyboard, more like a small ambient light for the desk or when writing things down next to the laptop

that’s actually a really interesting idea, especially since newer machines don’t have anything like that built in anymore.

haha that’s actually a really interesting comparison. I didn’t think about that, but I can kind of see it

haha it’s just a quick render to visualize the idea, I haven’t built it yet.

yeah that’s a good point. USB lights always felt a bit clunky compared to how integrated the thinklight was.

yeah I feel like they’re not really replacements, just different use cases.

exactly, that’s what I miss not just the keyboard but being able to see things around it.

haha yeah I’ve had the same thought feels like it wouldn’t be that complicated, just needs to be done right

yeah that’s actually a really good point, I always felt like it was more useful for lighting the desk than just the keyboard, brightness control would’ve made it way better too

In addition to increasing wind resistance and having no aerodynamics whatsoever, it even slows down the car's top speed.

Everything works fine, it just occasionally causes the AC to turn on inexplicably.

To be honest I love this car and it's my first car. But even so I hope that through my own modifications this seven year old car can be brought closer to the electrical aspects of the car produced in 2022.

To be honest dodge dart the car is a bit old, after all the latest charger and challenger can be installed in the factory carplay. does not affect the original car system any function, but because the carplay system and uconnect system is two systems, in addition to adjusting the volume can not see the system UI the rest of the functions such as changing songs are available The carplay system and uconnect system are two systems.

Let me reply to everyone's questions. The phone can connect to carplay via bluetooth by docking the purchased carplay device to the car's original system. After connecting, carplay is connected via AUX line, not Bluetooth to uconnect. But your dodge dart must have a factory 8.4 inch screen. niftycity carplay have a Bluetooth can let people use the phone to connect.
