Stuff in this video:

Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) is light and compact to bring with you during camping or off the grid. Its convenient and has AC outlet, USB ports for fast charging, and a 12 volt socket . Charging takes about 5-6 hours depending of method.

The larger Jackery Explorer 500 – Power station ( https://amzn.to/3DXxbvk ) is made for CPAP devices and may be a better choice for users of CPAP machines.

One of the main multipurpose buttons on the Jackery 240 is the Display button. Not only does it turn on the display light, it also is the RESET button for the unit. Just hold the Display button for 10 seconds to reset the unit.

Overall I have been using this to test and power 12 volt devices like my radar detector, car vacuum, and old adaptors. However I primarily use it to play my Xbox One S for about 3 hours in my car while waiting for an event. The other useful feature of this unit is the power consumption to see what the current rate of power use is per device.

HOW TO FIX: Android Auto NOT CONNECTING to My 2018+ HONDA – AFTER APP UPDATES…

Its been a two weeks since I updated my Android Auto app for my Samsung Note S20 Ultra ( https://amzn.to/3Dgd1fI ) and Samsung S20 FE ( https://amzn.to/3AfHPvk ) smart phones and my 2018 Honda Clarity Honda Head Unit can not connect via USB to the phones for Android Auto I found a fix for it.

I have been using the same high quality USB C cable that came with the Samsung as well as a longer braided JSAUX USB C Cable ( https://amzn.to/2ZO58ji ) for over 3 years with not problems connecting my Samsung Note S20 Ultra ( https://amzn.to/3Dgd1fI ) and Samsung S20 FE ( https://amzn.to/3AfHPvk ) smart phones to.

After the latest Android Auto update, my Honda head unit connected for a less than a minute before disconnecting. I tried clearing the app cache, reinstalling the app, and rebooting the smart phone. I also rebooted the Honda Head unit. My Samsung S20 FE connected after the reboot, however my Note 20 did not.

All the settings on the phone were the same. When checking the Honda infotainment head unit settings. I noticed that both phone profiles were on the head unit, however the Samsung S20 FE was ENABLED and the Samsung Note S 20 Ultra was DISABLED. I enabled the unit and then saw the phone.

For good measure, I DELETED the Note 20 Profile to completely clear the entry and reinstalled the phone to head unit and ALWAYS Allow Android auto permissions for the Samsung Note 20.

It has been working for the past few days. The Honda head unit still drops Bluetooth connection every so often. I believe the Honda Head Unit may need a software update.

Overall, I am glad am I am able to use Android Auto again with my 2018 Honda Clarity, as i miss using the Maps and Google Assistant features. I also miss playing video games on my Honda while parking.

REVIEW: Car Interior LED Lights USB Powered – 2 YEARS LATER…

About two years ago I about this Viden Car LED lights with remote and powered by USB ( https://amzn.to/3uaLFVj ). I wanted to add more ambient lights to my foot wells, glove box, and storage areas in my car at night.

The tried 12 volt LED car lights which are brighter but run very warm. The main reason to buy USB 5volt over 12v was that it was simple easier to get power from the car USB port or 12 volt usb chargers. The USB version also runs cooler than the 12 volt versions.

The USB ambient lights has plenty of light. I mounted them in in my front foot well, glove box, and under my dash storage for more light to find stuff at night. The install was simple and every thing still works after 2 years.

The only problem was the adhesive. The Viden Car LED lights (https://amzn.to/3uaLFVj ) glue released after 2 months in the summer heat. I replaced them with 3M Automotive Super Strength Molding Tape ( https://amzn.to/3o9hNYs ) and it has stayed on for over 18 months.

The 3M Molding Tape ( https://amzn.to/3o9hNYs ) is an self sticking high heat resistant adhesive foam tape for automotive applications but I always keep a roll handy for other projects that rely need good adhesion. It can be used for car interior trim panels, body side molding, emblems and mounting other light duty items.

Overall, I am very happy with the Viden USB powered Car LED lights with ( https://amzn.to/3uaLFVj ) as they turn on when the car powers up and it has a memory of the last color scheme used. So its set and forget.
