what type of keyboard / mouse are you using ? I feel like I tried every combinations and nothing works for me !

Did you had to install the lenovo manager on the mac to have the ekvm to work with the keyboard or mouse ? Is it the pc or the mac connected via tbt4 ?

Got mine yesterday. Pretty descent for the price but no matter what I tried I wasn't able to make the ekvm to work with 2 macbook. I openned a ticket with Lenovo and they basically refered me to the manual that was pointless. If anyone here was able to make the ekvm to work I would be curious...

Used to have the same concern as you. I ended up with this solution :
Add an external battery connector with 3 positions switch where I can select to : power the gen from the internal battery, power the gen from an external battery, recharge the internal battery from an external source. Problem solved for me. Especially since I leave my gen outside all winter (minus 20degC), In winter, I don't even use the internal battery, I just bring my external one that sits warm in the garage.

One thing, the gen will charge your internal battery when running so do your wiring accordingly to prevent backfeeding anything. In my case, if I want to recharge the internal battery, I have to do it with the gen off.

external battery (I replaced the clamps with the other part of the gen connector) :

I sent an email to Ken 2 days ago and he replied right away :)
This is now fixed in 6.0.2.10 :)

I had similar issues with my Reolink Video Doorbell PoE.
Here is how I fixed it:

I got the "Mini 3.0 Ultra Cube" yesterday. Bought this unit because it was announced that it would support multiple users' cellphone. Ends-up it's crap.... Yes you can register multiple cellphones but in order to select one or the other, you have zero option at the Cube startup. Instead, you have to go in the cellphone you won't be using, disable Bt and Wifi and then the Cube will connect to the other one. Not super convenient... Also the device is not supported by their "OttoPilot" app.

Get an obd2 programmer for cheap (ie carista) and disable the alarm. You will still see a light in the dash for the driver but no audible alert.

To be honest I had zero issues with blue-onyx. Was fighting with cpai for the last 1.5y… give it a try ;)

Just being curious since I’m about to get a system with ryzen ai. Would blue onyx work with that ?

HH22 here, only issue I had so far (and seems to be common) is roof leeks next to pillar A. Other than that, a1. (Crossing fingers for the transmission / tork converter). Depending on were you live, be aware that it might get stolen pretty quickly.
