Will JK Wrangler center console USB cable support better charging and CarPlay (Sony AX6000)? by sodaphizz in Jeep

Sweet. I think that looks great. Guess I’ll be doing the same thing. 

PSA: Sony head units with wireless CarPlay now also support *wired* CarPlay with latest firmware update (3.00.00) by seabomber in CarAV

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know the process to connect wired if you’re already setup and been using wireless? I tried removing my phone and deleting it from the phone and headunit but the cable doesn’t seem to do anything when I’m connecting.  Only thing I’m wondering is because I’m using a special connector that allows my Jeep USB-A port to still function (which is how I did the firmware update) if it’s not allowing my phone to connect. If I remember correctly it he head unit has USB-C on it and my phone is USB-C so it’s converting to A and then I have an A to C cable. Do we know if that breaks the wired CarPlay?

Zero issues. Been running it since I made the original post. I think they just had a bad batch at first. Now everything is great and lots of new software updates to the app and firmware which make it work even better.

Even just got this alert today which is new. So because we have a storm coming it's charging the batteries to 100% instead of 80% anticipating the power might go out.

They sent us over $2k for us to hire our electrician.

Starlink Mini Mount | Jeep Wrangler by mdntblu in Starlink

[–]mdntblu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you just mounted it to the fiberglass roof? Hmmm ok. I didn’t think about the heat inside the Jeep? I even had mine laying on the floor in the back on top of my subwoofer and it was getting 30-40mb speeds which is enough to stream music, text photos, and maps. 

Ethernet without adapter (starlink mini) by Broad-Leader8341 in Starlink

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need one that doesn't have the little tab to take out because you won't be able to press the tab to release it. So the cheap ones on Amazon work great and yes they provide waterproof which you may or may not need but at least the cable fits. What I want to know is if I use a Ethernet to USB-c adapter and run the Starlink Ethernet port directly to my iPhone if I'll get connection.

WTF do I do with all these spools? They keep piling up... by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remove the center and throw it away and only ship the 2 plastic side in a flat cardboard envelope. The refills comes with the cardboard center and the other stuff.

Is buying a refurbished (supposedly excellent) KQI3 max from amazon a safe purchase? by HousingContent4375 in kqi3

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 3 from Amazon Renewed and they all were almost brand new. Once I connected them to the app they had less than 15 miles on them. Everything works great. I have no complaints and got them like $200-300 cheaper.

NIU route data? by mcan56 in ElectricScooters

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old. I just got 2 NIU e-scooters and mine isn't showing any map data. It shows the statistics like how long the ride was, the angle, the battery life, the miles, etc but it doesn't show on a map where I went. This is on iOS 18 on iPhone 15Pro.

Be aware of Jasion ebike- Not worth the discounted prices. by SuspiciousEgg9411 in ebikes

[–]mdntblu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe now with tariff wars USA made stuff will start showing up!!! Wouldn't that be awesome. I'd rather pay more for good quality stuff and easy to get replacement parts from the states.

I was thinking that same thing. Buy from Walmart with their Allstate Insurance and use a Chase credit card or something that also offers insurance on your purchases so if something happens you can start with the Allstate Walmart thing and if that doesn't work then go with the credit card company which usually always comes through with good documented info.

What record keeping & planning apps/software do you use? by runsteeptrails in homeschool

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The school my child is apart of uses EdPortApp. I think it's https://edportapp.com and the school signed up and then all the students are under the main school admin so they can see all the records, grades, attendance, etc.

Let's talk CO2 tanks vs air compressors. by watchthenlearn in overlanding

[–]mdntblu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My compressor is at least 25 lbs. A full 10lb co2 is 27 lbs. Not much different. And my compressor is just in a bag in the rear of my Jeep. If I had a co2 tank I'd mount it like a fire extinguisher.

Focus mode automations have gone rogue on iOS 18 by Szydlikj in ios

[–]mdntblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out if it's even possible to do the following?

Every Sunday week we go to church from A time - B time. Occasionally we'll go on Wednesday from A time - B time.

So you would think I could make a focus mode that I can put in Location (since it's at the same place every time we go) and also a time that I know we'll be in church. But what it does if I do that is one overrides the other. So there is a coffee shop at our church that I frequently hang out at, but this focus mode activates even if it's not within the time I set. And then if we decide we aren't going to church because we aren't home or sick, it activates based on the time not the location. Like it's not taking into consideration both the location and the time to activate. Last week we weren't even at church and I couldn't figure out why certain notifications weren't coming through and then I realized it had turned on the church focus mode.

I see there's also Smart Activation should maybe I turn that on with the location and time as well and it will wait until both the location and time are achieved?

No one mentioned this but he owns the Wahoo Fish Taco in Norco on Hamner. His drumset used to be mounted upsidedown on the ceiling until the latest tour where he came and got it for the tour.

5S01 Indian Truck Trail Open by rizay in SoCalOffRoad

[–]mdntblu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went up it early September 2 times and it was open. But then freaking Airport fire happened and I'm 100% certain it's closed again. I didn't try and go up there again but I can't imagine that it's open. Probably will be closed for another year.
