    Yep. OnStar has a deal with one of the cellular carriers. I think it's AT&T, but I'm not sure. (I know they used AT&T when they first launched OnStar.) It's using the LTE network, but will fall back to 3G when there's no LTE available. It's also possible they have deals with more than...

    Eh.... It doesn't work that way. You can't just "install WiFi". You need a connection to the Internet to feed the WiFi. Since your intended installation point is mobile, that means a wireless device of some sort (smart phone or cellular hotspot), or a satellite dish on your roof. (Don't...

    Nope. Didn't see it. If the total possible draw is ~30 amps, a 40 amp fuse should be good, but he didn't have the wiper motor on, so 50 is probably pretty close. Not bad for a wild guess, eh? :) Do the headlight harness and you drop ~14 amps off of that load, since the harness powers the...

    You need some headroom there. It's a 100 amp draw, so go with a 120 CB or fuse, or it will be popping on you with annoying frequency. Like, almost every time you use it! Yes, I would add one. Dunno what the draw is, but at a random guess, I'd say you'd be safe with 50 amps or so. Go with a...

    Ha! It won't work anywhere anymore! :D I doubt if there's an analog cellular network left anywhere in the world.

    I'm an engineer working in telecom, but I started in this business installing cellular phones, back in the years BI (Before Internet) when they were installed, not carried. No hand-helds. Heh. I said that to someone a couple of weeks ago, and he said, "Oh, I remember that. Those old bag...

    Nice! Very clean work. We'll make an installer out of you yet! :mrgreen: For myself, no way would I use something with non-standard color coding. I'd pay twice the amount to have standard colors. That's asking for headaches down the road. Also, get some dielectric grease on all those...
