Very little competition for bandwidth compared to cellular (for now).I'm pretty happy with the performance so far. Open sky on the highway, I can get ~100 Mbps. Facetime and audio are actually better over Starlink than strong 5G for some reason.

If you're making a longer run on power, definitely consider tossing a 12v->24v (or 36v or 48v) converter in the mix to drop amperage on the small wiring running to the dishSo, looking at options to power the unit. Needs about 60w max, so about 5amps. Could use the existing DTP’s, but has anyone thought about running wiring from one of the the existing INT switches (10amp) up to the roof. Would take a bit of work, but power should be sufficient and you would have a dedicated switch for the starlink, while keeping the rest of the pre-wired (25amp) outlets available for other stuff….
Thanks for sharing this arrangement @DVA Mechanics . Do you still have any of these cables available?View: https://x.com/DVAMechanics/status/1822306061988069873
This is how I did it a few weeks ago. I will make up a few extra cables and post them on our website.
They work great - you can find the cable at https://dvamechanics.com/products/p...nk-mini-to-ineos-grenadier-dtp-port-1m-16-awgThanks for sharing this arrangement @DVA Mechanics . Do you still have any of these cables available?
Any issues in use? I’m thinking of moving from our Gen 2 setup to a Mini.
Tried to order using Apple Pay. Doesn’t seem to work.Here's the link to the cable if anyone needs one.

I will check on it -- if you PM me your Name, Address, and Email, I will process it for youTried to order using Apple Pay. Doesn’t seem to work.
There is a picture on X with the starlink mini power cable, it appears to have an in-line fuse. The picture on the web site for the power cable does not have a in-line fuse. Does it require an in-line fuse? Thanks!I will check on it -- if you PM me your Name, Address, and Email, I will process it for you
No, but when we were testing the first prototype, we thought it was best to use an inline fuse just in case. We weren't sure what the Starlink Mini's bootup behavior was going to be.There is a picture on X with the starlink mini power cable, it appears to have an in-line fuse.

Thanks, just ordered 2. I'm planning on plugging it into the EXT2 25 amp switch that is for a LED roof light bar. Do you anticipate any issues?No, but when we were testing the first prototype, we thought it was best to use an inline fuse just in case.

It wasn't required after our testing.
The Mini will draw about 1.5a at 48v, it should be fine. The cables should be in route. Thank you for the order!Thanks, just ordered 2. I'm planning on plugging it into the EXT2 25 amp switch that is for a LED roof light bar. Do you anticipate any issues?
