Infotainment.com has them but they’ve gotten really expensive. eBay will sometimes surface kits - you need to make sure you find one that includes the upgraded usb hub as well

It should as long as your car has the 8.4” screen. Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram all use the same parts The problem is cost. Post Covid this upgrade is really expensive. A standalone CarPlay/Android Auto screen is about 1/10 the cost.. but you have another screen to mount and contend with

I appreciate the feedback! That video was some number of years ago and my style has changed a bit since then. I’ll keep your comments in mind on future projects!

I’m so glad it was helpful to you!! I LOVE the lights on my house.. added eave lights from Lumary this year (check my other videos) The strips accent the rooflines and the eave lights wash the house. Two different controllers with different software but I think I can hack the eave lights into WLED - that’ll be a project for the spring when it’s warmer

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!

I’m my own photographer and that tool required two hands (was the only one home at the time 🙃)

I believe it’s 226203RB amzn.to/4iNWWDX

I'm not sure why it occasionally crackled on that video - something with the upload maybe?

I didn’t have that experience but it sounds like your new thermostat isn’t opening. It’s normal for air to bubble into the reservoir but the level should then go down, not up as the thermostat opens and pulls the coolant in. Check the electrical connection of that little plug that goes into the thermostat first - make sure it’s seated correctly as that can affect the thermostat operation

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad it was helpful!

I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not.. hah

Haha tuff means really good

The dongle enables wireless CarPlay if you already have wired. Pre 2018 the radio wasn’t equipped with CarPlay/Android auto - wired or wireless.

But if you are good with a second screen there are a bunch of standalone options available for around $50-$100

Hah - I get it. Since swapping that sensor mine has run trouble free.. but they seem to be subject to build quality issues

It’s called “Glitter” - using a 2-color red and green pallet with white glitter effect

@ thank you

Yeah.. it takes a little getting used to but it’s effective once you have it set

We’ve had them for several years and they’ve been solid - heavy snow, sleet, massive cold.. they truck along. I haven’t them connected to a Bluetooth outlet so I can turn them on and off from my phone or Alexa or whatever

I’ll put together a video but they look great. I haven’t had to do any maintenance to the original install aside from a controller upgrade (voluntary) and one wire end that was strained at the base of may garage door that had to be re-terminated

I tried tightening the clamp before I replaced it and for me, at least, that didn’t solve it. I think they wear out from vibration, heat and use and either deform internally or fail in some other way. Once I replaced that clamp the problem went away and never returned (for me at least)

Agreed! Glad you got it sorted out

Took apart and cleaned out that float valve that causes the design flaw.

That’s my hope.. did you have to run a separate controller and splice into the data cable? Or was WLED able to connect to them a different way?

@AskDIYDad Rob at The Hook Up did a test of a few of these before Lumary hit the market to see which would work with WLED controllers and which wouldn't. The govee lights do, the govee pro don't oddly. The eufy ones did, so I just chopped off the eufy controller and reused their power supply. It's working great honestly. I'm using dig uno to control mine, as my roofline is fairly simplistic.

@@bobgodd Intriguing. The Lumary lights run an odd voltage, but if I let the stock power supply provide the voltage and just hijack the data line it might work. I have a spare ESP8266 laying around here somewhere - I'll have to give it a shot.

@@AskDIYDad that's basically what I did. The eufy lights are 36v, so I used the included power supply and just sent data through WLED. The built-in effects weren't that bad actually, I just wanted more control over the lights. Syncing them with other WLED controllers, having them come on at sunset year round were big for me. I use the warm white lights daily when not in a holiday season.

Excellent! Agreed it’s super annoying when this happens. Took me a long time to find the right solution - depending on use it lasts about 6-12mo and then you have to clean out again. If you can keep the area around the lint trap clean to prevent as much blow by as possible you can extend that longer

The digquad shows them as one giant string, sequencing from channel 1 to 2 and so on. To control them independently you create segments in the WLED app. My Quad has 5 segments defined. One per door, one per peak and then the roofline

Fair point 🤣

Common Sense is driven by common experiences. For the inexperienced “common sense” means something different. It’s not good or bad, just different.

I don't disagree - In a very slow and iterative way, that is exactly my intention with my Delorean. My goal is not to strictly maintain but rather to maintain, upgrade and improve. I'm not a purist, it doesn't really bother me if somebody thinks something about my car is "wrong"

In some ways that's why I like it.. the fact that pieces of this car are, from the factory, made out of black-painted plywood is part of what attracted me to it as a DIY'er. Figure there's a decent chance that anything I do to it will be on par with it's current condition and likely an improvement

Haha! Welcome to the party!

Hello I'm so sorry to bother you. I just found this video and have not watched it thoroughly, but I would like to find out how mm any small pieces there are of each type? My daughter had taken them out of the box and I'm worried that some of them might not be all together.

Nice tip! I have a 2018 Ram 2500 now and haven’t encountered any issue with the screen in mine.

Been debating on trading in my 1500 for a PowerWagon! Waiting to see whats changed in 2025.

It was my dream for 30 years. Keep at it!

This is my dream car too!! I will own one I know it

me also, i will own and drive one one day

@@racenotover and in the meantime.. like and subscribe and you can follow along with my adventures of owning this crazy thing :D

It’s far from the worst car I’ve driven.. a lot of that is how they’re maintained. Mine has had suspension work and a few other things - it actually rides pretty nice

The gear ratios where awfull, mine was a manual, 1st gear it like feels like pulling away in second gear, and no power steering and poor visibility out the windows. It was also very underpowered. Being in the uk, the steering wheel was on the wrong side. I did love the attention it got with people taking photos.

@@JohnSmith-ef8nr I'm driving an Automatic. It's a three-speed which is interesting as it goes through 1 and 2 in about 30 mph and then just sits in 3rd for the rest of the time. The lack of power steering never bothers me much personally. I agree she's underpowered but still hold that it's a solid touring/cruising car. Important thing is to realize what it is beyond what you want it to be - or invest the money to swap the driveline out and make it what you wished it was. IMO

That may or may not be loaded on my car show playlist…

Hmm - haven’t had to do that but I’d assume it would be easier to access if you pull the thermostat housing as I’m pretty sure it’s just below and to the side of it

I’m certainly not an expert - it was a pretty effortless install for me so I never had to do much by way of troubleshooting. I’d suggest pulling the radio and grabbing shots of the part number and any stickers/labels on the head unit and then checking forums - maybe what you got wasn’t what it was described to be and it’s just not compatible?

@@AskDIYDad I think it's not compatible with my truck. the seller wants me to send it back. thanks for the injformation.

@@AskDIYDad Are the ones around the garage doors permanently installed as well? We have tracks with puck lights that we did last year and looking to add roofline/windows/doors with these strip lights like yours. Also curious if you did the 45 degree or flat channels around the doors

@ they’re permanent strips - I put them in the 45-degree metal conduits with diffusers backed up against the edge of the moulding. When they’re off you almost can’t even tell they’re there

I have been on v14.1 for several months without issue. I’d defer to the discord forums for an exact target version though

@ thanks
