A few minutes after you leave the vehicle and close the doors, the device shuts down. At that point it is impossible for it to connect via AA/CP (the vehicle waking has zero effect as well). Now if someone unlocks and/or opens the door and you are somewhere in the house, it will try and connect...
Probably just slightly too big but the remote is an RF universal, so it might be possible to find something that fits behind, or attaches to, the steering wheel. The switch relay has a learning feature to pair different remotes.
I actually think this could eventually be achieved by long pressing the EV Play switch button. This is at the top of my internal future feature list.
Currently though, you can pull up the voice assistants simply by saying Hey Google/Hey Siri, which gets picked up by your phone.
For those of us with young daughters, you can sense the dismay in the air with the prospect of Temu and Shein clothing "hauls" going away.😎
I am impacted by the new tariffs. A fair amount of the larger parts, such as the pre-assembled boards, are mostly exempted (thanks Apple!). But a lot of...
Those shouldn't be an issue here as the subsystem responsible for AA/CP shuts down when the doors are closed and there are no occupants in the vehicle.
Let's hope! These new tariffs/de minimis removal will probably discourage this to some degree as well.
In this day and age the hardware is a bit of a commodity anyway. I feel a lot of the value will come from new features and hardware expansion
Both are great ideas, please add them to the Feature Request section of our Forum if/when you get a moment.
Camera apps wouldn't be included in the block list, so wired or wireless cams for off-roading and trailering would be totally doable. Or how about, "E.V. - launch the drone" and being...
There are 0 use cases for video in motion:
Off road? Even worse. You're inching down a 60 degree incline or tearing around a blind curve on a fire road - what possible urgency is there to watch Seinfeld reruns? Offroading requires way more focus, not less.
Passenger use - you as a driver don't...
No. You could ground the parking brake wire to the metal housing of the rear of the unit to bypass it though.
Kidding about the bypass...those that bought aftermarket Pioneer DVD units back in the day get the reference.
No extra wires (it is completely wireless), double-stick foam tape so it is secure, but not permanent. It's black, and I have mine mounted to the side of the center console, down towards my seat (check out the video on evplay.io if you haven't already). No one can see it but you, it blends right...
