Some people are natural TV presenters...we have one here. I like how there's no bloated intro and how you get right into it (to paraphrase the Big Yin). PS I was watching a video in which you kept saying "I could crush a fig"...the comedian you forgot was Stu Francis from the 80s version of Crackerjack who used to say things I like "Ooh, I could crush a grape" along with others like "I could jump off a doll's house".

Hi Tim from Spain. At almost 82, I no longer drive so I navigate for She Who Must Be Obeyed plus I take on the backseat driver role. I must admit I am a map reading navigator and always have been. We tried one of those things that tells one where to turn etc, but after it got us lost a couple of times, I stick to maps - it is less embarassing than having the Guradia Civil coming to find you because you have lost traction on a tiny steep uphill road that has very deep loose gravel for a surface.

Fair point. I guess you can glance at a big screen whereas a small one you have to focus on (but then my sight is terrible!)

I have this portable CarPlay I got it from Amazon, I drive a older Ford Fiesta it has Bluetooth but not a touchscreen and Apple CarPlay. I also have the reverse camera it’s brilliant it connects to your reverse light wire so it only pops up when you go into reverse gear. I don’t like Siri I do prefer Alexa, but it works in the car for getting it to play Spotify and read messages

You could 3d print a bracket to fit orange thing to have it there - so you could still use fans possibly? Also with map you should be able to download maps on your phone so when you lose gps it will still work

One appeal for me when I see a simple car as AMI is to add to it and to just add the things needed, I can't find AMI in Sweden so my interest is now a bit lower, but if I get one there will be a camera looking backwards or a 360 camera on the roof that can give me a satellite like view of the surrounding of the car... Then maybe a gps even I think I will not go to unknown areas with it, Im not as adventureus as you two arel

Yeah ! Some UK truckies have been using a cheap Chinese knock-off for £35 and map upgrades for free,mfor the last 12 years. I got one to supplement a hand held Garmin I had been mis-using for road navigation.😅. Its 7 inch, resistive screen and I imagine relatively low resolution compared with modern screens . . . . But functions perfectly well. Totally free after the initial purchase of the screen. The units that support Android Auto et al will require an account and need a subscription to make them work ? And maybe extra dosh for map upgrades ?

Thanks Tim, I like the shirt and would prefer if "Me And Mon Ami" were a bit more prominent and I could get it on a cap as well. The Carpuride W103 features are pretty robust and the form factor pretty optimal. Does it have an internal battery? I looked but did not see it mentioned. For Ami Owners, perhaps a high capacity rechargeable USB power brick with a USB-A to USB-C might be be an option. As far as your fans and mounting, Might you be able to mount the fans behind the Carpuride, or print a drop-in for them or the Carpuride to drop it in the Android Speaker hole and area behind the Driver's instrument cluster or somewhere else like the phone holder area? Perhaps if you had a drop-in mount with some weight in the bit that would drop in the AMI's BT speaker hole, you could stash it out of sight when parked.

Also, some fast charging, Phones, Tablets and laptops use a USB-C power adapter that uses both 5V and 12V for the fast charging, and your Carpuride cigrette lighter power cable might be 5v and 12v, or possibly 12V only.

I have to ask. Why don't you but a Three or Four Socket USB Hub? That way you can have your Fans on, The Carpuride on and and an extra One or Two things Plugged in.

There is an interesting connection between airplay and Vision pro headsets which apple just launched. They are both based on the realtime QNX system - used on thing like nuclear submarines - apples pinched (for huge wongo) the main programmers of QNX when blackberry (who bought them) shut down. The Max os OSx is just too slow for these Realtime stuff which multiple sensors and connections. So VisionPro OS uses a Realtime sub system based on QNX/Airplay.
