They're not required for front center position. All others, including rear center, are required. Besides, the seatbelt isn't the issue, that's built into the seat design, and afaik all vehicles that still offer bench seat do have shoulder belt. But side airbags for the front center...

Very good point. And that also eliminates the bluetooth pairing hassle.

Well they didn't ask, but their last sentance they mentioned where they would put it. There's always twin antennas on mirrors....

I still think they made a big mistake not putting bench seat up front and making it a 3-seater standard cab, like my '92 ranger, which I had to reach between the middle passengers legs to shift! Slate is WIDER and AUTOMATIC so no good reason they made it a 2-seater. Apparently the reason is...

On my ford I recall I had to do some kinda turn key on off twice, press brake pedal certain number of times or something weird to disable automatic locking. I've never heard of a car you couldn't disable it on, so I expect if Slate has any automatic stuff we would be able to turn it off in the...

Phones make a very poor replacement for a vehicle am/fm radio. Not all phones have radios, but those that do it's only fm, not am, and you have to use an external antenna that plugs into the headphone jack; on phones without headphone jack then into usb-c port with an adapter. You can use a...

Perhaps there are some that use an fm antenna in there, but it would be pretty bad as you implied. Usually sharkfin is for satellite (including gps) antennas, some times cellular in cars with built in mobile phone. fm (when not a mast) is usually in the rear window or hidden somewhere in the...

Well, I had a car without power winows then installed power windows in it when I was 20 or so. But didn't buy a car that came with power widows til I was about 26. A/C on the other hand...

Pretty sure shark fin are not used for fm antenna, they're used for gps and satellite radio antennas which are much higher freq (and thus shorter antennas).

I've said it before, but I think the blank slate should include an fm antenna (either whip on the passenger fender, or integrated into the front windshield) and stanadrd DIN opening with that antenna's plug, along with the other necessary wires, including wires to the doors for speakers. That...

What you're paying for when you buy food from a truck is convenience, because it's located where you are. With a restaurant, you must go to it. There are food trucks that cost more or less than restaurants, and restaurants that cost more or less than food trucks. Its up to you how to spend...

I'm guessing its either broken or just way too quiet, I couldn't hear it at ALL even tho I can hear both people talking just fine, I hope that isn't a design flaw, it's important to be able to hear the indicators....

Another vote for bench seat. I have 2 kids. I'm kinda surprised this isn't already an option (or default!). I had a '93 Ranger with bench seat when I was a univeristy student, worked just fine for three young adults, and the Slate is even wider. In fact my Ranger was the "supercab" version...

Most head unit with a screen want this wire, and will only let you play videos when handbrake wire is grounded (handbrake/e-brake engaged), as a safety "feature". If you leave that wire unconnected/floating then it wont play video. Of course many self-installers will just hook it up to a hard...

You are mistaken. Digital/HD FM uses the exact same antenna as analog FM. (The same was true with TV btw, you didn't need a new antenna when TV went digital/HD either.) Also, seems HD FM is even *less* popular today than it was 15 years ago... although yes, thats a feature that's important to...

Presumably they wouldn't ship it with an empty DIN slot, if they werent including a radio they would likely put a compartment there people could use for storage. Same kinda thing you do when putting a single din radio in a double din slot, etc.

I see there's an option to mount an ipad, however an ipad with GPS Is super expensive. How bout getting Amazon to make a (cheap) fire tablet with GPS, so we could use it for navigation/entertainment in the Slate instead. And include a good satnav app that can download and use offline maps...

Driver side only power window seems silly. If only one side, I want it on passenger side so I can control it from drivers seat.

Yeah not for me The whole point of the two-way is so that I can tell if it started when I'm far away or can't easily see the vehicle. For example when I was a university student I would hit the auto start and then walk to the lower parking lot which would take about 10 to 15 minutes but by the...

I wouldn't want to have to use any of that stuff on that list for day-to-day usage. I don't mind there being an app for diagnosing problems or changing default settings to preferred settings (preferably available for OS besides android and ios) , but in no way would want to be required to use...
