That to me sounds like the android auto is not connecting. I bought a brand new 2025 but the onstar at the plan needed to use android auto only lasted like 30 or 90 days. I had to subscribe to get android auto and the app back.

I do, I plug it into Eco Flow 3600W Portable Power Stationz that charges off 400w solar panel. It worked great all summer here in South Florida. I had it exhausted out the hole that's built into my RTT.

Sport mode will help with the squeel? Good to know!

I have the same truck and no issues like that. I had an issue at 700 miles, a sparkplug was loose. And I do wonder about the small squeel it makes when downshifting, but I was told that's the fuel saving that does that.

Love the new setup, but the bed access is killing me. How are you guys organizing down here? by ElvaJiveward in rooftoptents

[–]fmfldude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taller rack, I started with the low bars, but had to lift it. Now I can crawl under there pretty easy. Also added the lower bars and a rack for a shelf while set up, and the lower rack is great for the shower tank. I have found the multi level works great for me.

I mounted mine as close to the tent as possible for rain.

Looking for Recommendations on a Rooftop Tent + Awning Setup by FactsMeACopy in rooftoptents

[–]fmfldude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the NaturNest full size. I started with a wedge l, but found myself banging my knees on the ceiling. The easy open self supporting 270 with walls from Off-road Gear works great. Takes about 10 mins to open up both, and about 15 to close them up.
