I had Pod Lights & Lightbar professionally installed with “Tsportline” out of Los Angeles. They do great work (www.tsportline.com). The Pod Lights utilize the Trunk Power feed & the Lightbar utilizes the roof feed…enabling on & off from the screen in the Mod section.

Yes, I fed it back into the cabin to power the Starlink Mini I have attached to the roof with suction cups (no converter necessary). This is likely the most efficient way to power a Starlink Mini because it operates at the same voltage as the Cybertruck's low (mid)-voltage 48V battery. It's also very convenient to keep on or off as desired (no mechanical on/off switch needed).

Not yet, but I plan to use it for the "solar" input of an ecoflow accessory battery.

Also want to have a powered fridge, but I'm waiting for Tesla to figure that out. Can't believe they haven't released a powered frunk fridge yet!

Not yet, but that 48V is the biggest reason I bought the truck. I'm waiting for a proper accessory kit to drop, maybe a big air compressor for airing up huge tires fast, or a small fridge setup for camping. I want to avoid rigging something myself and having it look messy. So far, just looking at options.

Yes. Cabin fridge, subtrunk freezer, Starlink mini, an Ecoflow river 2 pro in the frunk and very shortly two 12v inputs for a bluetti ac300 in the vault which will be used to run my cybertent air conditioning at night and charge the car with solar panels during the day. Starlink and fridges run by auxbeam switch behind the frunk tub.

I have mine powering DRL and Underglow LED’s. It’s also powering my console refrigerator,

but changing to an inside the cabin install soon.

Have my drunk 48v hooked up to an auxbeam 8ch controller powering Cybertruck Co Baja designs fogs and a rock light kit in the Urander Bed Cap

waiting on the SatGear Starlink mini mount to arrive to wire up the starlink as well.

Kinda wish I’d gone with an 8 gang too. Do your auxbeam switches spontaneously turn off sometimes?

I have the 4 gang, and mine does turn off sometimes.

My friend Jay (@CT_AZ_4x4 ) thinks it might be resolved by moving the ground to the body of the car which I haven tried yet. Can’t say I fully understand why but I’m smart enough to know he’s smarter than me.
Haven’t tried it yet but I’ll report back when I do.

Looks like you screwed stuff into the black plastic cover?

Not exactly, they are screwed into a plastic sheet. The sheet is secured to the plastic airflow cover by drilling holes in the plastic ridges.

Brilliant.

yes, cant figure out why. Sometimes it would be days. But it sucks when it does because the settings I have saved for the button LEDs reset such as color and brightness.
