I charge routinely at 12 amps so I really baby the battery and charging system. Got the PCS failure notice yesterday and free supercharging after discussing with service. They moved my appointment to July 24 citing lack of parts availability. Now the car won't charge even as low as 8 amps...

This is a great idea, but how would it be controlled? Baja has one that has limited tilting. Not sure how that one is controlled either, might need one of their fancy switching solutions like the one with the LCD.

Do tell! I'm also planning on a custom wheel set from Atomic. What was your inspiration?

I also saw Atomic's custom wheel offer and decided to go with them in downsizing to 18's. Going to go pretty close to stock offset and width and asked them to develop an aero design inspired by the OEM wheel covers. Not sure if I will go with beadlocks or not, will probably depend on what they...

The only other I am aware of is from Atomic...

I bought the mirror, screen swivel, and front under seat storage bins without issue. If anything, got TOO many emails and confirmations about shipping. Received an immediate reply with tracking when I asked about one of the three items that lagged behind the others by a couple days. No...

I finally installed the mirror and used the 12V direct wiring mod, bypassing the supplied harness to avoid any audio issues. Instead of the fuse box (I don't really have or need other accessories that require 12V power) I used some DC barrel plugs, male and female, with screw down cable terminal...

Yes, that's what Teslaken describes. It turns on and off with the vehicle. That being said, I am in the middle of wiring it at this very minute, but that is the intended functionality. This is an easily accessible switched 12V (actually closer to 15V) power feed that won't mess up the audio to...

The harness simply taps power from the OEM connector. Direct wiring eliminates the harness completely, and the speaker issue along with it. You still need the power convertor, though, it converts 12-24V DC to the 5V needed for the USB-C power. The mirror runs off USB-C power, not 12V. But you...

Run 12v power from under the front of the center console. This can directly lower the mirror without the harness. Look up Teslaken here on the forums. He has videos also

I went very dark down to the lower edge of the camera housing and it's perfect.

Oh great, I ordered some stuff last week!

The solution is to direct power it by tapping center console power eliminating Hansshow's adapter. TeslaKen has the process on YouTube and on his website. I don't have the mirror yet but it has been ordered and plan to use that method to wire it.

I don't think that's how it works. A poorly insulated lid will severely affect efficiency. If you plan on running this continuously, like I do, then it could be a battery drain problem compared to the other one, which I own, and already consumes a decent amount of power.

I'm also concerned that the lid does not look well insulated at all. That will hit this refrigerator's efficiency. The V1 center console fridge lid is pretty well insulated.
