REVIEW: Wireless Android Auto Adapter – Soo convenient! No more USB cable disconnects!!!

I got a Wireless Android Auto Adaptor ( https://amzn.to/3VaMlX7 ). I got one of the latest ones that had a replaceable USB cable ( https://amzn.to/3F6M2qP ) for my 2018 Honda Clarity and Civic. It works very well and simple to install. I have been using it for the past 2 weeks and it connects when i get in the car. This is my review.

The issue with my Honda Clarity and Android Auto was the cable connection has been dropping and disconnecting every time the cable gets loose. The USB jack on the car was getting loose every time my phone moved. I have been replacing USB C cables and it still gets loose. So I decided to get a Wireless Android Auto Adaptor ( https://amzn.to/3VaMlX7 ). I got one of the latest ones that had a replaceable USB cable ( https://amzn.to/3F6M2qP ) so in case i needed to use a longer cable to hide the unit i can.

Setup: Most of these Wireless Android Auto Adaptor ( https://amzn.to/3VaMlX7 ) need to have the firmware updated. Read the instructions and update before installing it on your car. For this one, the device name was ‘smartBox-xxxx’ I used Wifi Direct to connect and update the latest firmware. It took about 5 minutes to download and update the firmware.

When activating Android Auto at the first time you need to plug the adapter into vehicle USB port, turn on Bluetooth and WiFi, pair to Bluetooth. The initial pairing took about 1 minute. The adapter will then connect with the Wifi and Bluetooth every time time after the car and the adapter powers up. It automatically connect with Bluetooth within in about 10 – 15 seconds.

Overall this was a very useful and it solved the loose Android Auto USB cable jack problem. It did take about 20 – 30 minute install due to the hard to read instructions. I now love wireless android auto.

Review: Backseat Articulating Arm Tablet Holder

I got a car back seat holder with an articulating arm ( https://amzn.to/3SFVAgg ) its not as heavy duty as my LISEN Car Back Seat TABLET HOLDER ( https://amzn.to/35ZQ3OM ) as the V-mount was more stable as than just a spring loaded mount. so I can have another iPad or tablet installed in my rear seat of my car. This tablet holder was a v-mount and was more stable to vertical movement.

This can be setup in less than 2 minutes to start playing and is easily taken down when not in use. The hard plastic clip locks onto the front seat head rest posts. The legs can be extended to bring the tablet closer by a few inches. I was able to fit my ipad and 12 inch monitor with no problem.

My older adjustable large tablet articulating arm ( https://amzn.to/3hsutFm ) attaches to the passenger seat head rest posts so I can position the monitor right behind the seat or near the center of the spacious back seat to share with friends. The tilt of the monitor arm is adjustable as well.

Overall I see this as a fun project. It’s not a permanent addition to the car and is quick to setup and take down when you are finished. The mount works well even while the car is in motion.

REVIEW: Cordless Polisher Buffer 20V

I like polishing and waxing my car before winter season. I got a cordless polisher ( https://amzn.to/3gjfsIB ) to quicky polish and buff the car with a polish compound ( https://amzn.to/3SbohRV ) then I use Ceramic hybrid spray ( https://amzn.to/3ETk426 ) to add water repelling properties to the paint. This whole process takes less than 1 hour to do even with a wash.

I normally fix any paint chips a day prior to washing, polishing, and waxing. The cordless polisher ( https://amzn.to/3gjfsIB ) i got had a 4 mah battery that is able to complete the care in one charge. Its more convenient than pulling out my corded polisher, especially for quick jobs like this one. Its also good if you are not close to an electrical outlet. I got about 2 hours of runtime on the battery while working on my car.

I use the included 6 inch buffer pad from the kit to apply the polish compound. Then used microfiber bonnets ( https://amzn.to/3VAcOOE ) to place over my buffing foam pad to buff off polish. Lastly, I used the Ceramic hybrid spray ( https://amzn.to/3ETk426 ) to finish and coat the polish. I know the spray ceramic lasts a few months long enough to do a full detail in a few months.
