No. An additional phone line is not needed at all. The Android connects to the internet through the iPhone’s personal hotspot function.

You might consider a cheap Android phone dedicated to this purpose. I'm firmly entrenched in iOS and have been since the iPhone was first released years ago, but I went ahead picked up a new Pixel 6a specifically to run JBV1 and I'm more than impressed (the Android phone get its data through my...

The JBV1 app that pairs with the Valentine One pulls realtime locations of road policing aircraft to warn you if they are actively operating in the area where you’re driving! Exciting stuff! Though I don’t know why. I’m usually 5 mph under the speed limit.

The majority of the bracket is the same for the R8. The bottom portion where it affixes to the detector will be different. I’m impressed with BlendMount’s materials and quality. Their website selector will direct you to the right part number.

I considered it. It’s easy, but not particularly elegant. That adapter steps the voltage down from 12V at the mirror to 5V at the USB connector, and it then has to be brought back up to 12V within the butt of the USB-RJ11 combo cable. If I were going to use that connector, I’d chop off the USB...

I gave my old Valentine One (gen. 1) that I've had since the late 90's or early 2000's to my nephew a few years ago, and I kind of missed having one. I didn't know until a few days ago when I was shopping for a new one that Mike Valentine, for the first time since he launched Valentine...

Yes and no. It's what you put on the roof rack, and where. I stupidly installed my fly rod holder (made out of metal) on the driver's side of my roof rack and I'd occasionally have outages depending on which direction I was driving. It turns out it was right over the antenna. Moving it to the...

My long term average on my Wildtrak is 21.1 using regular unleaded. When I do the calculation at the pump the computer is not off by much. Except when I'm off road or in the desert, I drive with a light foot any try not to use the brakes unless I must for safety.

He’s the best!

All of the parts came in at just under 2100. It was a little less than expected because the Tennessee Orange tow hooks I wanted from Ford Performance were less expensive than the black ones. It was more expensive than the Crawltek alternative I had been considering, but it was substantially less...

I've been looking at different front bumpers to replace the stock capable bumper on my '23 Wildtrak for quite some time. My requirements were (1) the ability to have significantly more lights than the capable bumper, (2) it had to look good, (3) no relocation of the camera or adaptive cruise...

When are y'all going? If you have the time, spend some days based in Laughlin - the Golden Nugget is my favorite hotel there. It's like a mini-Vegas on the Colorado River. The Mojave National Preserve and BLM lands in the NV/AZ/CA area are all well worth your time. I'm hoping to be out there for...

Las Vegas is awesome. I am going to move there one of these days and become an eccentric casino resort owner! The Off-Roadeo at Mt. Potosi is spectacular - outstanding trails, scenery, and climate. Even the food was incredible. I thought the event would be cheesy and dumbed-down, but it was...

I'm not certain on this, but I think that these sensor holes might be a good test of authenticity. Each hole is keyed differently on the Ford modular bumper and they are all the same on the Chinese ones.

Ford engineers put a hell of a lot of time and effort into developing the Bronco. I think you will be very well-served in Moab, Big Bend, or just about anywhere else with the Sasquatch package and you won't experience an ounce of regret with daily handling. I'd much rather have the factory...

I'm a fellow East Tennessean and Knoxvillian - I'm among those cactus grey ones you're seeing. I like the way cactus grey appears to change color in different lighting, and it goes very well with Tennessee orange. It's too bad that Ford's cyber orange was not close enough.

I stole your photo and marked it up because I didn’t think to take any photos when I was working on mine. I had a moderately severe rattle with certain tunes. I located the vibration to the plastic piece right at the tip of the orange arrow I drew. I solved it by tightening the bolt that I...

I use silicone twist ties from Harbor Freight - cheap, functional, multipurpose item. https://www.harborfreight.com/24-in-silicone-ties-2-pack-57631.html

Thanks for the review. These are on my short list when it comes time to replace the Goodyears. Hopefully that won't be for another couple of years. Nokian Outpost and Falken Wildpeaks are also on my list.

I'm with you. After seeing this I'll be investing in a Faraday box for the keys at home and a smaller pocket-sized one for a single key when I'm traveling.
