  1. Epa estimate 205?

    I'm also driving a Kia ev6. AWD wind, rated for 310 range. If I use it to commute only, in the summertime, I'm getting the full 310 or more, (I assume because I never let it get below 20%). The second I take it on the highway, at 75+, that number drops to below 260 miles. I see similar...
  2. Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    I've used these multiple times for old cars with no screens, or no radio at all. And even in the bed of my truck for drive in movies. Just plugged into an outlet. And then plugged the 1/8 jack into an amp. www.carpuride.com Used to be cheaper before tariffs, but still around 150 and up...
  3. Blind spot warning indicator

    These have always worked best for me.
  4. Slate Bluetooth Dash Audio Speakers - Thoughts?

  6. Slate Bluetooth Dash Audio Speakers - Thoughts?

    Yes, that's what I was referring to as well. Since most aftermarket head units require a constant on, as well as a switched 12v to operate, for reasons you listed. Not the end of the world. And there are some options (like Carpuride) that would be a good solution with only a 12v switched...
  7. Slate Bluetooth Dash Audio Speakers - Thoughts?

    Spoke with the support person on the slate site and they did confirm that the center channel is the power for the l/r speakers. SO I'm assuming the center channel will have some sort of left and right output jacks on it somewhere and the l/r speakers can be added at any time. One sad...
