Starlink Mini mounted in the JBL speaker dock: running the Broken Rover bracket on my Trailhunter

Phone can only connect to one WIFI point. If you want to use it with Starlink and Android Auto or Carplay you need to use a USB cable to the display head.

Which is what I always do.

I have had my Starlink mini mounted to my roof rack using the the Veritas Vans mount and rack mount kit. I run the power and ethernet cable through the back window and cover that with XFasten Transparent Window Weather Sealing Tape. I plug the power into the Cig Adapter or USB-C. I plug the ethernet cable via USB-C adapter into my iPhone. Then it can be connected to the vehicle via WiFi. I have been looking for a black or gray cover that would fit over the Veritas Vans mount given it does not really blend in with black roof rack and canopy (white on black/bronze oxide). I think I will get this adapter and get the black liquid silicon case. 122 degrees F is the redline on temp for the Starlink mini. I would probably remove and stash it when I am not in the vehicle. That looks much easier with the adapter vs the roof rack mount.
