UNBOXING: AUKEY Dual Dash Front / Rear 1080p Camera & AUKEY Hardwire Motion Detection Sensor!

I have front dash cams on all my cars.  I wanted to try out a front and rear dash cam and bought a AUKEY Dual Dash Cam – 1080P HD Front and Rear Camera! ( https://amzn.to/2THPihQ ) and a AUKEY Hardwire Motion Detection Sensor ( https://amzn.to/2D7zXBI ) which plugs into the OBDii port of the car for power.

This quick video is just an unboxing of the two products and a brief test and initial review.  I will create install video later.   I have already installed this camera and the hardwire on my car. Overall it was a simple install.

The AUKEY hardwire with Motion Detector Sensor powers and sends a signal to dash cams with a Parking Mode to trigger a recording.  The attached box is a motion detection sensor need to be installed  onto the windshield of the car.  I found visibly annoying to take up my windshield real estate.  I later took removed it.

I also did not want to drain my car’s 12 volt battery when I leave my car on business trips.  For a future DIY  I plan to add a battery power bank to enable the parking recording without draining my car battery.

In addition,  it uses the car’s 12 volt battery with the OBD-II DLC port  by the drivers foot well.  This is convenient if you do not want to use a fuse tap ( https://amzn.to/2VSlLDV ) or slice wire for 12 volt power.

If you use your OBD-II port for other devices, don’t like the motion sensor box, or don’t like using your OBD-II port for power, there are other 12 volt hardwire kits that uses fuse taps ( https://amzn.to/2Fxedkz ) for your dash cam or USB powered devices.

Look out for more videos about this Dash cam installation, footage, and other car reviews  in the future.

3D Maxpider KAGU Custom Floor Mats – 2018 Honda Clarity! Review and Unboxing!!!

I just got my new 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid and wanted new custom all weather mats so i dont have to vacuum or worry about wet shoes.  I ordered my 3D Maxpider custom floor mats online ( https://amzn.to/2BuqzWT )  and it took about 1 week for it to arrive as they were new and back ordered.   Other Honda Clarity owners got Tuxmat Custom Mats ( https://amzn.to/2Lpnn3i ) that fit very well and are heavy duty and look like padded leather floors!  Truly luxurious!

I was not able to find Husky liners as they have not made them for the Honda Clarity as of this post. My Chevy Volt’s mats are Husky Liners ( https://amzn.to/2UVrjx3 ) and i love its light weight and easy cleaning attributes.

I was going to get the OEM Honda all weather or Weathertech but did not want rubber mats.

Overall the 3D Maxpider is a lightweight medium duty custom fit mat that fits perfectly on my 2018 Honda Clarity. Its easily removable for cleaning. I like that it also covers the rear center hump!  I heard that 3D Maxpider also have custom 3D mats for the Tesla 3 as well that is sold out :  https://amzn.to/2SavxiB 

Installation took less than 5 minutes.  Simply replace the factory mats with the 3D Maxpider mats and lock in the factory floor nobs.  And that’s it!

Great buy and good investment to keep the car low maintenance from drink spills and cleanup time!

Thanks for watching! I am looking  to make more posts about my 2018 Honda Clarity in the coming months as this is my long term review vehicle! 🙂

How to Fix Broken Chevy Cargo Cover Hook!! GM Interior Retainer #25913048

My 2017 Chevy Volt cargo  tent cover hook broke today. I checked the dealer and they wanted $6 for a replacement. Its the GM Interior-Retainer part number 25913048.  It was sold at Amazon as well: https://amzn.to/2rjMZ8C.

I didnt want to spend $6-$7 just to have it break again. So I created a DIY.

NOTE: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!  This is video of my experience and story and is for entertainment. You can just take it to your Chevy dealership to fix it.

I removed it and fixed it. You will need the following:

  •  Epoxy Resin – I use a 5 Minute  general use 1300 PSI  epoxy resin.  https://amzn.to/2SqJbOe 
  • A scrap paper – to mix the epoxy resin
  • A chopstick  ( I use a recycled one from my last take out run. )  This will be the support in the cavity of the retainer clip.
  • Diagonal Cutter ( this is just to cut the chopstick down to a smaller size).

GM Cargo Tent  Retainer CLIP  REMOVAL: 

  1. Removing the clip by turning it clockwise about 1/6 rotation and it will pop out.
    NOTE: Mine was really tight so I just used  my scissor to rotate it out. Doing so will scratch the plastic.  I should have used tape on the scissors.
  2. Get the broken hook and clip. 
    • If the hook is still intact and fits back on the retainer. Good use it   
    • If its missing a lot of plastic or does not align back with together well. Just buy a new clip, its not worth it fixing.
  3. Get your diagonal cutters and Chopstick.
    • cut about 8 mm length of chopstick to act as a dowel for hook repair.
    • use the cutter to split the 8 mm chopstick to a smaller girth.
    • place in cavity to see it if fits?  Too big? Cut to adjust. Too small, cut another piece that is bigger.
  4. Mix Epoxy Resin – Follow the instructions on the box. I used  scrap paper to mix the two epoxy parts and applied to the broken pieces.
  5. Joining the two parts.  I placed them face down on the table and added some epoxy to the cavity, then added the fitted 8mm chopstick / dowel,  Then filled the entire cavity  with the resin, sealing the dowel into the hook and clip.
  6. Let the epoxy resin set and cure.
  7. Replace the chip into the cargo area!
  8. Your done!Do you have the same issue? if so comment below!
