    All you need to do is turn on your hotspot and the unit runs off of that. It's like its own brain. It even has Google play store to download other apps. Look at me I sound like a:cool: representative

    My buddy used to get much better gas mileage in his DC too—did yours come with factory tow package? Assumed it might have been a gearing difference as his ‘07 DC didn’t have factory tow package and my ‘17 CM does. I average low 11.x MPGs currently… I’m sure the 3/1 lift and 35s aren’t helping—but he was running a similar setup too :confused:

    I read something that said you have to unplug it everytime you turn the truck off. Is that true?

    I keep my similar wireless CarPlay box velcro’d underneath the shifter trim so that would kind of suck.

    Picked up a leather steering wheel out of a 2019 Tacoma. Added bonus as it has the dark grey controls. I’m not a fan of the light silver. I’ll be installing tomorrow.

    Yes, has factory tow package, stock suspension and tires. The big difference probably, mine is a 2wd.

    Nice!

    Here’s what I found in the website:
    “It's also very important that you unplug the media box every time you are done using it. Do not leave it plugged in to your car once you turn off the vehicle. Leaving it plugged in will allow the device to continue running 24/hrs a day with no ventilation and cause it to overheat and damage the media box. You should not be using the phone mirroring feature or the wireless carplay feature because those are under development and are just included for free for people to play with.”

    Does wireless CarPlay work on it also?

    Ok ok. Now you're teaching me. Maybe I'll start unplugging it see if helps prevent from ruining it in the long run. No I don't use car play or Android auto being I have an Android phone. My main intentions for the device was to watch music videos for my music (YouTube.) The Netflix, IPTV service and other app add on's are just a bonus (SiriusXM, Spotify.)

    My ‘20 DC 4x4 with tow pkg gets decent MPGs when I drive gently (not very often, and not for long :rofl: ). Sorry about the shaky photo, but I averaged over 17 for the first 50 miles of my trip today. It went downhill from there when I hit the 4-lane and was able to pass. Note that TOW HAUL was ON. Mileage was even better before I got the ko2s.
    EDIT: Forgot to mention I have Keith’s Dirty Deeds (BA Muffler) 8 inch mufflers and resonator installed.

    I purchased some decals that are probably the same size from Amazon. I think it was a 5 pack. They aren't the best quality but the AZ sun is tough on everything.

    So the issue with that is the AAwireless box needs to have direct wifi to the phone which means I cant run a hotspot at the same time.

    Turned the key on my tundra after it’s been sitting for 5 weeks (I’ve been traveling) started right up.

    Turned the key on my F-150 it did NOT start up…

    definitely going to look at selling that POS Ford for an older long bed tundra

    Does this match anything else or is this piece #1?. I am looking to paint parts of my interror to match my exterior and can't figure out if I want black or red for the center console silver shifter plate and chrome cup holder piece.

    I did SEM trim in charcoal metallic and really like it but have some other parts color matched.20210620_154328.jpg


    And here is from another member on here who did all pieces color matched.
    upload_2020-8-30_8-55-34.jpg

    Also check @ElNopal build. He color matched most interior trim pieces. Yes you want red and these are blue, but it helps give you an idea of how much you want to color match.

    Its really cool seeing what everyone has done to their trucks. Let's you invision for your vehicle. I decided I wanted pops of color but I didn't want it all matched. The SEM charcoal metallic matches the dash trim that isn't black.
    Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you do :thumbsup:

    I plan on making the narrow charcoal horizontal trim piece Barcelona Red. So I will go black for the silver bits like door handles and door trim. Maybe red for the rings and shifter.

    Does it serve as a wireless Android Auto adapter, or just as a streaming medium / individual AA app? Looks like something one could hide inside the dash.

    I will be wrapping the vent, shift column and others in red as well. initially, i thought I ordered black vinyl but when it arrived, it was red. I was going to use the black vinyl to chrome delete the Tundra wording on the side of the truck.

    I used this red color from amazon. I used a flat plastic trim remover to pop it off. measure out how much vinyl i needed to wrap it. be sure to have enough to wrap around all the chrome and to tuck it underneath. Started on the furthest side (closest to the passenger seat) and worked it slowly to the drive side. The groves took up the most time. The corners needed a bit of heat but it isn't necessary, just stretch it in a triangle shape and it will come out nice. I'll be using the red on all the chromes inside the cabin.

    yeah this red is a darker, I like it after spending some time looking at other colors. you can't really match the barcelona red unless you take it to a shop . so pretty much eye balling it and hope for the best :D .

    strap that thing down so it isn't a projectile in an accident... I watched a subaru with a spare tire on the roof fly off into oncoming traffic because the knucklehead was using a simple lock and chain to hold it in place.

    I added a Center L track Rail so I can use a 3 point trap and I secured it with a lock.

    My old Tundra was totaled in an accident and my tire didn’t move with the same system.

    FYI: I hired a shuttle driver to move my truck while I was fishing and the driver put it through a tree.

    You can match the paint. Duplicolor paint match. They make a Barcelona Red Spray paint.
