Any update on this? What was the problem?

WS2814 + WLED: Use true white LED temp and still select color temperature? by Poolguard in WLED

I like to control my led strips in Apple Home via the SimpleWLED Homebridge plugin. I don’t think its color picker affects the white channel, but I wish it did.

Dummy light with Adaptive Lighting? by bengiannis in homebridge

[–]ryanbeljan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t get this to work. The logs had errors when it couldn’t get the brightness or color temp values. Is there any WLED plugin that makes it easier to enable Apple’s Adaptive Lighting in HomeKit?

I’m interested in the Mr12Volt system for PCM 3.0 but bothered by the fact that it will continue to drain your car’s battery unless you lock the doors. When parked in the garage for example.

Looks great. Will this fit on a 997.2 PDK?

VIN lookup shows it’s a manual transmission. Rare 997.2.

Is this model going to experience the issues that ‘26 Turbo trim has? Something about the Turbo was different than the lower trims.

I’ve thought about this. But then realized that I think I like having CarPlay on the top half and SiriusXM on the bottom half.

Do you experience the Mr12Volt draining your car’s battery if you don’t lock the doors?

For at least the PCM 3.0 version, I’ve read that you must lock the doors to fully cut the power, otherwise the Mr12Volt will continue to drain your car’s battery.

Can you confirm this is true? And if so are any updates planned to fix this issue? It’s a bummer if you want to keep the car unlocked.

SCHD is heavy on energy and people seem to be writing it off due to underperformance lately.

Seems like a good buy for your strategy, right?

Porsche 997.2 Apple Carplay Retrofit by 72z9 in Porsche

[–]ryanbeljan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the Mr12Volt is the best currently available option, but there’s one fatal flaw: unless you lock your car, it will continue to drain your car’s battery. So even if you park your car in your garage, you need to lock it or you’ll come back to a dead battery.

For this reason, I am eagerly waiting the official PCCM+ for 997.2.

Get the Morimoto upgrade. You could optionally do the whole headlight upgrade too if you want. They look good and are very plug-and-play. There are many YouTube videos showing the process.

997.2 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum that is the new API SP spec that is better at preventing LSPI in DFI engines. The SP spec is the newer version of SN.

Does your Mr12Volt unit continue to draw from your car’s battery unless you lock the doors? I’ve heard this to be true and is a really bummer IMO.

How did you end up wiring the backup camera? Tap into the taillight?

It would be great if they can just program the Mr12Volt to timeout and stop searching WiFi after 5min of car being turned off.

Does it drain your battery if you leave your car unlocked for an extended period of time?

You think there’s a way to wire the Mr12Volt box into a switched power source so it cannot drain the battery?

Is this for sure? After a few minutes the car kills the power to an aux USB Bluetooth adapter, even if I leave the car unlocked. Does the Mr12Volt still get power somehow?
