Starlink Mini

[Roving.Grenadier]

I purchased this plug from Amazon. Then ordered the plugs and tool from Agile Off-road. I cut cord in half and installed the plug and attached to the roof plug. Then I put female plug on the 12volt plug left over wire and when I arrive at camp I can then plug cable into each other and a portable battery.(Jackery). Now I have the correct plugs to add lights etc. Since I’m using a magnetic mount I can now use on any vehicle and still use the 12volt cable from Amazon.

Love it, I was just going to do this too, I ordered a spare Starlink cable from Amazon and just need to get the DTP and crimper tool.

I have the crimper tool of you need to borrow it.

Agile Off-road has the DTP and tool.

I have a Weboost that I moved from my previous Land Cruiser to my Trialmaster. I designed a custom mounting plate that was fabricated by my nephew to bolt it to the top track of the rear Rhino Cross Bar. I ran the antenna cable down along vertical weather strip of the left door. I placed the unit inside the plastic box outside the jack storage box and plugged the power plug into the cigarette receptacle. I ran the interior antenna cable under floor mats up to the front dash and attached the receiver antenna on the front dash.
Let me know if you want photos of my install that didn’t require any drilling etc.
It’s working good enough since I already had the unit and it was purchased prior to the Starlink mobile option. But as stated it only works when there’s a cell signal.
I think that the Starlink system is the better option and I will go to it eventually probably.

Looks cool!

Ordered a kit off Amazon and the tool as well. Agile, while amazing, had quite the markup.

You can remove at least one section of your antenna, the antenna is omni-directional and doesn't need that height above the vehicle for good reception. Just in case...hahaha

Thanks man! Ended up springing for one. I have a feeling I'll need it every now and then.

Starlink has a new Roam plan available now, 10GB a month (for existing users) at an ok rate.

This roaming plan might be very useful just to cover a Starlink service on the vehicle’s roof when mobile (cell) phone coverage isn’t available between towns for long drives.

Mini on the roof with this plan could be a great match.

edit: Country specific possibly, as I see Aus, and USA have a 10 GB plan, with UK possibly a 20GB plan.

Fully installed and running off the roof outlet (thank you @DVA Mechanics and Striker Fabrication).

I did employ a bit of plumbers tape to ensure a watertight DC plug.

The mount also requires a couple of washers or grommets to stand-off the platform.

I am looking at the Striker Mount on my Leitner Rack with the DVA wiring into the OEM roof outlet... still happy with the set up?

I use the striker mount on my bison rack and it is great. like really great. had it on the top of my roof for a few months now.
I started with the DVA wiring but it was glitchy. Didn't want to wait for a replacement so I bought an outdoor starlink mini to cigarette lighter plug wire on amazon for not so much money, cut off the cigarette lighter and crimped on the DTP connecter. Works really well. Been on my roof for months now.

Yes, no problems whatsoever. Couldn’t be happier.

Just a FYI from the Hummer forum. I am posting a video one member made . He installed the starlink mini inside the cab on the clear roof panel of the truck with good results. you could mount to the safari window as an option.

So seeing that Starling mini is out, and at least for US they have a plan that allows for in-motion use. Has anyone yet installed one on their roof rack? Thinking since the mini will run off of 12v DC and is self-contained, could just use one of the existing power taps and run it from that.

I have the mini installed now with the roofrack mount on the Rhinorack. Works great. I have an Ecoflow in the back where I just plug it in and let the wire run out of the door. The Ecoflow it self is connected to an Ecoflow Alternator so its constantly powered. Very easy set up.

My Starlink has been delivered. However, I would like to mount it flexibly so that I can change from vehicle to vehicle quickly. I connect the power supply via the 12V socket in the vehicles. But I'm still thinking about mounting it in the vehicle. Let's see how I do it.

I've only had my Starlink Mini for 3 weeks and I'm completely delighted with it. Here in the south of France, the mobile phone network is so bad in some areas that I couldn't use the internet. The Starlink is mounted inside a roof window and is not orientated. It always delivers between 130 and 170 MBit, even when travelling at 100 km/h. It's simply a joy! I can highly recommend it.
