Lead Quick Disconnect Battery Terminals

Lead Quick Disconnect Battery TerminalsThe Lead Quick disconnect will probably do the work however, the quality of finishing and look is pretty poor and it extrudes a lot outside the battery area.

FlareAlert Small Storage Bag

FlareAlert Small Storage BagNice cloth case, made specifically for carrying 3 Flare flashers. Has pockets on inside sewn in for 3 flashers and a spare batteries compartment with hook & loop velcro closure. Pockets for flashers are just barely large enough for flashers. You have to work to get them to fit, but they work. Slightly larger pockets with an elastic band at the top would have been better. But they work as designed. I highly recommend both the flashers and the case. Good emergency lighting for a vehicle in a nice zippered container. Nicely labelled. Buy Flare Flasher and Case both.

Tview T90DVFD-BK 9-Inch Car Flip Down Monitor with Built in DVD Player (Black)

Tview T90DVFD-BK 9-Inch Car Flip Down Monitor with Built in DVD Player
  • Swivel Monitor Right/Left, with Dome lights
  • Built In IR Transmitter so it can work with wireless headphone
  • Crystal Clear picture quality: Resolution 800 * 480
  • Two Audio Inputs
  • Two Video Inputs so you can connect more monitors

Quick overview:

Pros Cheaper than most models, supports SD and memory stick duo cards, choice of audio out sources, good video quality, seems sturdy, quite DVD playback, good dvd playback, audio/video input option.

Cons Poor instructions, memory card slots prevent closing screen while cards are in, limited file/folder name length on memory cards, no playback memory for memory cards, no source memory for video playback (remembering if I used memory cards last), screen does not turn around far enough for me, lights not as bright as Pyle PLRD92, light buttons do not work separately, instructions do not help with menu/setup very well (it's not terribly hard to figure out if you have time to toy with pressing buttons)

There were I few things about this product that I was unable to determine from any of the extensive research I performed, but I knew that the basic functionalities met what I was looking for. I do like the dvd player and the picture is good. It is easy to install, even though I did have to make a few modifications in order to install it like I wanted. I ultimately decided on this item over the PYLE PLRD92(PYLE PLRD92 9" Flip Down Monitor and DVD player with Wireless FM Modulator/ IR Transmitter) mainly based off of the price at the time, and though I AM somewhat pleased with the TVIEW product, if I had the choice, I would go with the PYLE for many reasons. It was a good DVD player, which is why it received 4 stars, it's not a bad product... it's just not exactly what I wanted... Now on to the info:

INSTALL:

The instructions that came with the unit were horrible, they basically didn't help at all, but I was able to determine what wire were what from info I found on the net. One of the most helpful places was a forum call Acadiaforum.net.(you will have to join to see it, but here is an installation example ) A user there has detailed instructions on installing the PYLE, that were handy in making the TVIEW mount more sturdily to my Acadia. The mounting bracket with the TVIEW is slightly different than the PYLE's and was a bit more difficult to attach to the roof of the car. In my Acadia, I could easily remove the dome light between the sunroof and moonroof and have a perfect place for installing a DVD player. Since there is about a 2" space between the head liner of the car and the top of the car (actually a cross beam) I needed a piece of a 2" x 4" I had lying around as a spacer. I also had to purchase 4 metal/machine screws and drill 4 holes in the cross bar mentioned above to attach the metal mounting plate. After I did this, I noticed that the wires run out the back of the DVD player, this may not be a big issue for everyone, but I wanted the wires hidden. So, I drilled 2 holes in the metal backing that hides the wires on the dvd player (the opposite side from where the screen snaps in place and lights are seen). I used the rubber grommets on the newly drilled holes to prevent the wires from being cut over time. In my Acadia, there are 2 power wires, one has a constant power (used for turning the lights on when the car is off) and power when the doors open (this one is used to turn on the lights when the doors are opened). I used the later to hook up to the lights on the DVD player so they would work as the normal dome lights would. I used the constant power so that the DVD player could be run while the car was off if necessary. The Acadia has a safety feature that kills the power to this feed after 10 minutes to prevent battery drain, if something is drawing current, so I thought this would be perfect. However, I ran into an issue with the DVD player drawing just enough power while it was off to drain the battery slightly, but not drawing enough power to register on the computer of the Acadia to trigger the battery save feature. This resulted in a dead battery over the weekend. To get around this, I installed a rocker switch from an old dead power supply I had, and it works great for keeping my battery from dying. I have read different ways around this, 1) you can install a resistor to "trick" the computer into thinking there is a larger current being drawn while it's off or 2) you can ran power directly from the battery (I've read this prevents the battery drain for some reason, but can't remember why).

PERFORMANCE:

Memory Card playback...

This Does work pretty well, the resolution, I think, is 640x323, and it plays MP4s the best, but also supports some AVIs. The picture quality will largely depend on the quality of the MP4 etc, but is quite good for what I expected.

The biggest reason I was looking at this player and the PYLE mentioned earlier was the ability to play videos from a memory card. I had a few SD, micro SD (w/adapter), mini SD(w/adapter), and Memory stick pro duo (with Duo adapters) cards that I could switch out more easily than dvds (I thought). This player DOES NOT support SDHC cards, but I had a 8GB MS Pro Duo (magic gate) with a Duo Adapter that worked perfectly. Video playback from the cards works fine, and there are tons of options on the player to zoom in (if the video doesn't fill the screen) or to adjust the picture. However, One of the biggest things I do not like about the player is how it handles memory cards. The first thing I noticed was the SD card will stick out of the side of the screen half way, preventing you from closing the screen with the card inside. I kind of expected it to work like many laptops do, with there being a depression switch that requires to to push the card in to hear a click and have it eject. The Sony Memory stick card stuck out even further, I was very disappointed, but ate my disappointment because the videos played fine, you can even fast forward and rewind like normal (more than I can say for Windows Media Center 7 and MP4s... but I won't go there). The next thing I noticed that I did not like was the navigation to select videos to play. First of all, each time you stop playing the video from the card, it will start from the beginning and every time you start the player, you have to change the source to the card slot (not a HUGE deal, but why couldn't it remember what was last used?). One of the worst things about it is that the file or folder names (it does support folders by the way) are limited to 6 7 characters, barely enough to give a good description for our 3 year old to know which video she wants to watch. Yes, i said 3 year old, she is able to read, and I am not talking about memorizing words, I'm talking about sounding words out and reading ANYTHING... Not the point though, there is barely enough to tell which video you are selecting. I may have to get creative and number the videos and give her a list of what number is what video. Well, that is my biggest complaint about the video playback from memory card.

DVD Playback...

The DVD playback works quite well, and we use this as often as we can. I haven't tried burning MP4s to DVD, but have burned DVDs in its native format, and everything works very well. The thing I like best about this is that the DVD is the first thing that is checked when the player is turned on. If there is a DVD in and you turn the player on, it will read the disc and start playing. It also remembers your position, even if the power is cut off to the player. I don't have much else to say about DVD playback other than A-OK!!

Sound...

Ok, the speakers built into the DVD player are plenty loud (if they are not, it is likely the video you are playing...) but my wife and I did not like the fact that they project to the front of the Acadia as much as they did to the back, so we opted to do the FM transmitter as much as possible. Recently we went on an 8 hour (one way) trip using the FM transmitter, and ran into few issues. There were a few times we'd have to pause the video and switch the FM sources, due to interference, but over all it was pretty decent. When there is no interference, the sound is excellent, when there is the sound is very grating... kind of metalicy sounding. I remember reading where someone increased the length of the FM transmitter wire on the player(I think it was the little green wire in the bunch) to increase signal strength and prevent interference, but I can't find that info at this time. Having said that, yesterday we took a 30 minute trip and had interference the whole way, so it all depends on if the frequencies are being used as to whether or not you will appreciate the FM transmitter feature. I plan on hooking up the analog audio someday to prevent this issue in the future. The IR headphone option does show on the menu, so i know it exists on the player, but we did not purchase any and have not used this feature to date.

Final few odds and ends:

Ok, I know this is probably NOT a big issue for most, but the screen does NOT turn 180° from facing forward. The screen will face the left and right, but will not face the rearview mirror when installed. This is one of the many reason's i would like to have had the Pyle, the screen would turn to face the front. I didn't want this to watch anything, but to help start a video, or pause a video if the remote is dropped or something. We can do it now, but it is a lot more difficult that it would be if the screen would turn even another 10° or so. But it is not clear ANYWHERE that I read, so I thought I would inform you, the screen IS a 180° screen, but it's from left to right, the screen will not face the windshield when installed (probably for safety...).

The lights on the player are not very bright at all, and are the cylindrical type of light bulbs. You also will have to remove the DVD player and remove the metal backing in order to replace the bulbs if they ever burn out. The Pyle player had LEDs and are MUCH brighter from what I've seen... One of the other things I tried to determine was whether or not the 2 lights worked independently. I saw on some players there was one light button... This one and the Pyle player had 2, though I cannot speak for the Pyle, I know with this one the lights work together. You can push either button and both lights turn on/off...

Over all, this is a good DVD player with the option to use Memory cards in dire need, but I am somewhat disappointed based on my expectations from what I read from others.

I hope this helps!!

Buy Tview T90DVFD-BK 9-Inch Car Flip Down Monitor with Built in DVD Player (Black) Now

Installed this last week in my 2008 Jeep Commander. It was a pretty easy install, minus dropping the headliner in my jeep which consumed most of my time.

The picture on the unit is very good! Also, like the FM Transmitter function to tune it into my Jeeps stereo. One small problem is I do get some interferance with the FM Transmitter when I am in the city or very built up areas. I have yet to try all the FM frequency's within its range yet. On a side note I spoke to my local stereo install shop and they stated they add length to the Antenna wire when they put it above the head rest and this corrects that issue. I will try that next. The unit also works perfect with the IR (Infa Red) headphones I purchased seperately. Also, I like the fact you can get these in multiple colors to match the interior of the car. Hey for $150 and a few hours to install very nicely, it can't be beat and looks nicer than some factory setups.

I would purchase again and do recommend this item.

We purchased this player for our Dodge Grand Caravan. We installed it ourselves (my husband is pretty mechanically inclined) and it was fairly hassle-free. We had to actually cut a hole in the headliner because the instructions suggest mounting it over your existing dome light, but in a GC it is too close to the second-row seats and we ended up installing it between the rear HVAC controls and the front ceiling console. You don't need a massive hole for installation and they provide everything you need, including wiring to hook it into an existing video system/sound system if you already have one. The IR works perfectly too we bought two sets of kid-sized wireless headphones and they work perfectly with the unit. The only issue is the vague instructions (they were obviously NOT written by an English-speaking person, and were not too clear), so unless you are pretty mechanically savvy, it is best to leave installation to a professional.

It does have IR & we love that we can play it through the stereo~~so that we can all hear it! I would/have recommend this to anyone & everyone!

I have a Scion 2010 XB, and a two year old girl. I would say yes to anyone with a small SUV or smaller car, 9" is just right for those type of car size. Anything else then no for something bigger. The pic is great, looks great, sounds great, and plus they have the 3 basic colors to fit in any color type at the same price. Shipping did not take long at all, and was pack very good to ins the DVD player. The best part is where I went to get the DVD player install (best buy for 200.00 and under with a 10% coupon on Ebay)they didn't have to cut a huge hole in the roof of my car. hope all this help, FYI if your doing this for your kids, yes they will love you and they will love this player! :)

EKLIPES Motorcycle, ATV, Jet Ski & Snowmobile Cell Phone and GPS Adapter

EKLIPES Motorcycle, ATV, Jet Ski & Snowmobile Cell Phone and GPS AdapterReceived the EKLIPES motorcycle GPS adapter. Mounted it on my bike. Tried to use the waterproof cover attached to the adapter and found it was TOO BIG to fit in the adapter... How in blazes do they sell something like that? Had to use my dremel to grind the cover down to size to fit. The only word that comes to mind is "incompetance". How does something like that get by product developemnent and product testing? Oh I know, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY!

Needless to say, I don't recommend this product... unless you've got your dremel handy.

The good:

This can be found for very cheap in brick and mortar stores (I got mine for $4)

It comes with an eyelet on both connectors (some cheap ones only have it on the ground)

The accessory outlet is fully enclosed so it is theoretically waterproof

The outlet is removable thanks to the quick attach cables

The bad:

The outlet is very loose. It's easy to pull any powered devices far enough out to lose connection. This is bad on anything that vibrates (say, motorcycles, ATVs, jet skis, and snowmobiles).

The fuse cover basically falls off if you look at it funny. You'll need to tape it on.

The waterproof cap is over-sized and will not fit unless you cut the rubber.

In the end I would not recommend this product. RadioShack sells a much better EnerCell outlet for a few dollars more than I bought this one for (and a lot less than what it is selling for on Amazon).

Avoid this at all costs. You'll just be wasting your time if you're looking to add a power outlet to your motorcycle.

Buy EKLIPES Motorcycle, ATV, Jet Ski & Snowmobile Cell Phone and GPS Adapter Now

This adapter is perfect for my cell-phone recharge wire. I use my Nokia E71X AT&T Navigator GPS when I ride cross country. Very convenient is the adapter's end fixture that plugs into my Battery Buddy recharge wire, which I keep attached to my bike's battery. The only complaint I have is the internal wiring in the molded rubber plug fixture has a loose connection and the connection to the battery is intermittently broken with engine and road vibration. I haven't tried replacing it on warranty as I'm always using the adapter.

We were very excited to have a phone charger on our motorcycle trip, but found that this outlet on this device will not securely hold a phone charger plug in place to receive a connection if there is any movement at all. I literally had to hold the charger into the adaptor with my hand for an hour while riding on the back of a motorcycle in order to keep our GPS charged. This was pretty ridiculous and I will not recommend this product to anyone.

The package includes a harness to connect to the battery, and a cigarette lighter adapter to connect you accessories. Comparing the harness with the ones provided with other products (i.e., Deltran battery tender) the Eklipes is of a much inferior quality and it looks cheaper, too. Eyelet connectors are not very good, and the fuse holder does not have a secure cap (it tends to fall). In addition, the workmanship on the connectors could be improved. In regards to the adapter, it comes with a cap bigger than the adapter, so I ended up cutting it out and not using it. The cigarette adapter is usable but not the best out there, and the harness could be used for an application where there is no much vibration (I won't use it in a motorcycle), and where does not need to have a good seal for the fuse (I won't use it in a boat). For a few extra bucks you could get something of a much better quality.

I wish I could give this negative stars! I have the charger I received w/my phone but wanted to purchase one for work so that I could just leave there in case my battery was low. HUGE MISTAKE. It appeared to charge my phone, however the second I touched any key my battery would immediately drop to 3 or 4%. I tried to charge it w/my other charger and it wouldn't hold its charge either. I ended up having to purchase a new battery. The cheap comes out expensive sometimes, def learned my lesson w/this one.

SharkMotorcycleAudio Shklxmbt688il Motorcycle Snowmobile Bluetooth Multi Interphone Headsets 6 Ride

SharkMotorcycleAudio Shklxmbt688il Motorcycle Snowmobile Bluetooth Multi Interphone Headsets 6 Riders Intercom Bluetooth, Great for Skiing
  • Use with multiple helmets with mounting kit per helmet
  • Prioritized audio devices e.g. mobile interrupts music
  • Detachable microphone and headset
  • 6 persons Intercom Motorcycle Bluetooth headsets
  • Wireless hands free communication for motorcyclist

I bought a set to try out for snowmobiling to talk and listen to music. Read the other reviews and looked at the company's other products which all had good reviews. The price was right and if it worked out, I would buy another pair for the rest of the family.

Got the first pair and I was pleasantly surprised at the packaging. Nice box, foam padding for the units and parts inside. The instructions booklet is in typical "Chinglish" but can be deciphered fairly well.

Installed them in our helmets. The speakers and mic are fairly easy to install. If your helmets don't have velcro or material for the speaker's velcro to grab, you can stick the supplied velcro inside your helmet. Just be sure that the mic's "hole" is pointed towards your mouth so check by removing the foam covering. The clip system that holds the unit to the helmet is very flimsy and does not hold well. While riding, it would slip down and I had to push it back up into the helmet to keep it from falling off. The other mounting system is stuck onto the helmet with double sided tape. Although this is a bit more stable, you cannot remove it and re-install it on another helmet if needed. The other issue is the tab on the back of the unit which clips into the mount on the helmet is not the most effective means of retention. It simply slides into the mount and is relatively loose in the mount. It can easily move around and up, which it could then come off. It spun itself upside down a couple of times. My son, who wears a motocross helmet with goggles, accidentally broke the tab. As an interim fix, I used velcro on the back and the helmet to hold, which was way more effective than their clip and tab system.

Functionally, they worked well. Was able to talk continuously for 4 hours between riders. Talk time could have been longer but I believe Li-ion batteries are affected by cold. The 1Km Range was not really as advertised (never is) and was more like 1/2 of that. We could understand each other well up to about 80km/h but beyond that, wind and engine noise makes it near impossible to understand. Sound is good but on the tinny side. As for playing music, it works well with my iPhone. But these are not Dr.Dre's so don't expect much for the sound quality. Again, it's rather tinny with no bass at all. To stop and start the music, just push the phone button. For phone calls, it automatically answers after a couple of rings. Phone calls take precedence over everything else, cutting music and communication. After the phone call, it goes back to whatever you were previously doing whether you were listening to music or talking with someone. Phone calls are quite clear at both ends. I talked to my son on the phone while he was riding and I could hear him quite clearly with just a bit of engine noise in the background. Again, speed will affect this. The only negative here is that there is no voice dialing capability but you are riding so if you need to make a call, you should stop, pull out your phone and dial. Not quite the time to remember that you have that important deal you have to call on while riding, is it?

Here is an issue that affected us for snowmobiling so this may not apply to motorcycle riders. The buttons don't work well in the cold. The colder they get, the harder the rubber gets and gets more difficult to get the buttons to register. Another issue is that it is difficult to find the buttons with a gloved hand, especially the smaller ones for the volume or other riders (B, C, D, E). This would become very frustrating when trying to get something to work. Sometimes was able to get it to work by pressing the button repeatedly until it worked but not always.

Also, the communicators would disconnect for no apparent reason although I suspect it's a text message coming in that causes the disconnect as if it was a phone call. Pressing the button reconnects them again.

I also had a chance to contact Shark Audio customer service. I sent an email with my concerns about the broken tab on one and the buttons not working on the other when cold. They sent me a whole new set to replace the defective ones! No dicking around or anything, shipping included and they didn't even want the old ones back. That's the way customer service should be!

With that said, I'm sad to report that the replacement units had the same issues with the cold, breaking tabs and flimsy clips. I just wound up breaking off the remaining tabs and using velcro for a more solid mounting on the helmets. Sometimes just the simplest things work best. As for the cold buttons, we try to warm them up with our hand or just keep pushing until it works. Although they are being advertised for snowmobiling, skiing and so on, maybe they should just do so for motorcycles only.

Since I now had multiple units, I was also able to try them with more than two riders. Pairing them is a bit tricky and you have to follow the instructions (in Chinglish) and you sorta get the hang of it. If you get six of them, it is also different since there is no F button. Again, you have to follow the directions. I also recommend that you label each one. Switching from one rider to another works quite well by pressing the corresponding letter button (A is the main motorcycle button, B, C, D, E. To contact F, you press your letter button). Also took a while to figure out how to go back to music after finishing talking with someone. You have to hang up on them and it will go back to the music. Pressing the phone button won't work while talking to somebody. Another thing about the multiple (3+) units, you cannot all talk at the same time. You can only connect two at the same time (one on one) so basically, no party line. You can however have two separate pairs talking at the same time (A with B, C with D).

So to summarize:

PROS:

price

fair range

fair talk clarity

music ability

multiple units ability

auto phone answer

good talk time

easy mounting of speakers and mic

simple music control

excellent customer service!

CONS:

flimsy helmet mount

breaking mounting tabs

buttons don't work well in the cold

no voice dial

small buttons with a gloved hand difficult to use

reduced advertised talk time due to cold

cannot all talk at the same time (multiple units)

NEUTRAL:

tinny music sound quality (goes with the price)

readable Chinglish manual

I would recommend this product with the caveats of its weaknesses and just replacing the mount with velcro because the price is so good for what you get.

Great device, I shared with a friend for our long rides, rather than using hand signals, voice communications is a lot better. It sync'd. to the cell phone without any problems, no code was not needed, and I would say the distance between motorcycles is about 500 meters. There are two problems that I can comment on, first are the instruction, the print should be a lot bigger and it should have two booklets instead of one, second the wires connecting the ear piece and microphone could have been a lot better, I did get to check if the devices were waterproof, and they are as we were caught in two down pours. After riding we spoke to a few friends and a couple have ordered the same units.... Good job Shark

I don't like to give 1-star reviews, but this is the absolute worst combination of product and customer service I've ever received from a seller on Amazon. The product arrived promptly, but that was the only good point to this purchase. I bought two sets, one as a wedding gift for a friend and one for myself and wife so we could all ride together and be able to communicate. Neither set worked at all, after following the "Chinglish" instruction manual to a "T". The charge indicator light came on and went out after only about 10 minutes, which raised the first red flag. My first thought was that the set had sat unused for so long that the batteries were absolutely dead. After that I could never even get the unit to turn on. I wrote the seller, but didn't receive a response until I basically had to threaten "further action". When I did receive a response it was terse and suggested I try doing things that I had already done (and told the seller I had tried, leading me to believe they didn't even read my entire message). This went back and forth for a few messages before I finally got them to agree to accept a return. Now it's been over three weeks since I returned the product and I haven't heard anything from the seller, seen a replacement product, or a refund to my bank account. I would say that you get what you pay for, but these units weren't exactly inexpensive which makes the whole situation even more irritating. Scala and Chatterbox may be more expensive, but at least they come with warranties and tech / customer service. I'll be sure to invest a bit more money for a far superior product and support in the future. My advice, don't buy this product or from this seller.shark SHKLXMBT688IL Motorcycle snowmobile Bluetooth Multi Interphone headsets 6 riders intercom bluetooth (set)

UPDATE: Months later and this issue has still not been resolved. The seller (gooddeals18, a.k.a. "Effyzaz, Inc.") has continued to sidestep my requests, seemingly in hopes that I finally get frustrated enough and give up. I'm not a vindictive person, but I sincerely hope people don't buy from this seller. They've shown no customer service skills, have been rude, and have drawn out the simple act of returning a defective product into months of tiresome dialogue via e-mail. Only when I further threatened seeking legal counsel did they respond to me at all. I'm simultaneously angry at, frustrated with, and feel pity for this seller.

Gave this 3 stars for several reasons. The instructions are limited. It's not very user friendly. when i switch from cell phone to intercom it drops from my cell phone so i have to re-sync hard to do while driving. this may be because i have a smart phone thats smarter than me. works great at lower speeds but above 60mph has its limits. Speaker placement is a must, they have to be perfectly placed over the ear canal to hear anything so they only fit each individual. all in all they are good quality for the money just don't expect perfect function with all applications but it is still a good product if you are on a strict budget

I was a bit afraid based on the price that these would not work well. They work great! My buddy also has a set and they linked together no problem at all. They also connected to my Garmin NUVI 765T perfectly GPS nav through it no problem. Played MP3's off the Nuvi without issue via the blue tooth connection.

They were rock solid up to about a half mile apart with my friends rig and the battery has not been an issue. It was fine past 75 mph, a bit of wind noise on the full face helmet but not too bad. I could never not here him or visa versa because of wind.

Take the time and make a foam insert to house them in your ear space inside your helmet and they won't sound so tinny. We'll see how long they last, but I couldnt be more happier with them.

I added a cigar lighter to my bike under the seat with 2 ports and 2 USB so I can charge one unit while using the other, and charge my buddies spare as well.

Power Bright PW200-12 Power Inverter 200 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC

Power Bright PW200-12 Power Inverter 200 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt ACI own several inverters I've collected over the years. PB makes the best ones in my opinion and I own 3 of theirs.

PROS:

durable construction

quiet = fan only comes on when unit gets warm after initial power up

cool color :-)

CONS:

nope...nada....nothing here

Get this...you won't be sorry :-)

It's got an internal fan and heat sync system. The 10v and 0.1mA drop off protections where my selling points cause it's inverting from a 12V solar panel. Has good overload protection too, and is light weight.

Mine came in blue.

I have only used this once camping, but it powered everything we needed with no problem. We used a mattress pump and stereo at the same time with no issues. I have no idea how long the car battery would have lasted because I left the car on the whole time. What you can't see from the photo is that there is a car adapter wired directy into the unit. I was worried about this when I purchased it, but it was there.

Bought this as a energy saver in the RV to run a Cpap at night without the power drain of the large 2000 watt built in inverter. Works great and is very quiet.

Only reason i gave a four was its bulkiness. But this is absolutely a great device. It makes no noise at all in the car, unlike my old black and decker inverter. Charges very quickly and conveniently in the car. Two outlets are great. I would highly recomend this inverter if you need it for traveling.

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front Center Hump Liner for Select Chevrolet/GMC Models (Black)

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front Center Hump Liner for Select Chevrolet/GMC ModelsThis fit my 2011 Chevy Crew Cab perfetly. The price is good also way cheaper than anywhere else. The hump liner covers the floor perfectly and leaves nothing exposed. It meets up well with my other husky floor liners on the driver and passenger sides. Shipping was really quick. Great product. Take note that this particular hump liner is for trucks that DO NOT have a floor-mounted transfer case shifter.

it fits okay. not perfect, just okay. I would like to see something that fits perfectly in the truck since you buy it for a specific vehicle.

3.8L 12V Mini DC submersible Water Oil Pump for CPU Cooling Small Pond or HHO System

3.8L 12V Mini DC submersible Water Oil Pump for CPU Cooling Small Pond or HHO SystemPump is used in a warm water circulating sytems at about 70 degrees C. Works perfectly, well within specifications.

The pump is small, quiet, and perfect for the circulation application (small tank to big tank) to which it has been applied. I have had no problems with it and will more than likely be purchasing another one of these small pumps for a secondary, on demand, circulation system in the future.

I think this is a great pump it works a lot better than I thought it would great for small ponds and mabey even hobby jobs

This pump is very cute/tiny and has a small connector to it, so the volume isn't very high it seems.

I am running it on 12V PC power supply (yellow, black) and it provides enough water flow to hold the temperatures constantly low.

I use 3/8" tubes on it, much larger than this output has, but still works. It may have problems with air in the tubes at the first startup since the volume it delivers is quite small.

The noise level is similar to a pond motor and very quiet. Using it in a bucket, you can reduce sound by uncoupling vibrating tubes or wires from the bucket wall with a sponge.

I am using this with a combined cooling of GPU and CPU (gtx560ti, i3770k) and running very smooth at the moment. I will compare if I get more cooling from my old pond motor with more pressure or not. But anyway, this thing is reliable enough for a very cool system.

Summary:

The pressure is good, the water volume could be higher for more thick tubes.

Works OK. Mini in size for sure. Pump must be submerged for it to work correctlyMy Mistake, but it didn't specify that.

Powers up all the devices I have plugged in so far. I haven't used a device with it that needs 2.1 amp yet. The pull handle fell off the first time I used it. The blue LED indicator light is very bright to the point that its distracting when driving at night. I may put some black tape over the light. Not worth the effort to return it since it performs its basic function.

Viper 488V Led 2-Way Remote

Viper 488V Led 2-Way RemoteThe 2-way feature is great on this remote. But just because you're paying 50-100 for this remote, don't expect it to be high-quality. I've owned two in the past, and each one has broken the same way. The first problemSolder joints. After a couple of months, the solder joints (on both) would break, especially around the battery terminals. Easy fixSimply resolder the joints. Next, the cosmetic paint and light labels will rub off, and thats when things start to go downhill. If you keep it in your pocket like other car remotes, the plastic case will start to breakNotably at the top right corner. Once that happens, the remote looks awful, and the keyring will fall out because the tabs holding the two halves together have weakened too.

On top of all that, the second remote I have sometimes beeps, and sometimes doesn't.

If you want the two-way feature, you can get this. But if you want a solid remote, consider buying the compatible 1-way version, P/N 7141V or 7141 P (python and viper remotes are interchangeable). It will not give you audible feedback, but it will save you frustration. They are compatible with the LED 2-way systems, too.

I sure hope DEI's new systems use better remotes. Its a mystery to me as to why Viper Alarm systems are as popular as they arenothing but plastic junk in my opinion.

UPDATE:

I picked up a less expensive one-way Viper remote that is compatible with my system (I was tired of throwing down so much $$ for a piece of crap). It is about two months old, and is starting to crack as well.

This is a great value, progamming taks a few seconds if you know where the "valet button" is. Turn on the key, push the valet button once, press twice and hold til chirp, then push the lock button on the remote and bingo you're done. If you read the instructions, you'll never figure it out.

I needed to purchase a replacement transmitter for my viper 488v and viper.com wanted a ridiculous price. So i thought about trying this guys out because mainly the price was more reasonable. Not only was the price great, the shipping was pretty quick. It only took 2 days to get it. I definitely recommend these guys, they are the best.

This was an exact replacement for the remote that came with my Viper 771vx remote start alarm. The original lasted about 4 1/2 years and was held together with a rubber band for the last two. The case for the unit is not very well made and will come apart over time. There are some instructions on the package for syncing the remote with the alarm. The instructions were a little confusing because it looks like you're suppose to program a different channel if you have the remote start so it didn't work after the first try. I used the instructions to program it to Channel 1 and it worked. Other than that, it took a total of < 5 minutes to get it set up.

Allstar Performance ALL80156 Battery Disconnect Switch

Allstar Performance ALL80156 Battery Disconnect SwitchOrdered this switch, to replace the jammed OE, master chassis battery cut off switch (sometimes called the salesman switch) at the rear of our '97 American Tradition motor home. Old switch failed/jammed permanently in the off position one day, I broke the handle off using pliers to try and get it to turn on. I made sure this has the correct amperage, load ratings, shaft size for both the mount and the battery cabling etc. I suspect it will work without issue across many other similarly set-up American Coach or Fleetwood motor homes that have the same switch in the rear engine bay. The switch action itself is silky smooth, and gives a good responsive 'click' when moving between On -> Off and vice versa.

This works perfectly well. There is an assured "click" in both directions. The bezel showing "on" and "off" is just a sticker and I would have prefered something more substantial (made of metal), so I didn't even put it on. I just remember "pointing right is on" & "pointing left is off". The device was a little bigger than I expected it to be. It is probably about 3" in diameter. I am using it on a 12 volt lawn tractor.

I bought this product to replace an older unit that had a broken switch knob. Actually, all I needed was the switch knob, because the old product on the car was the same manufacturer. I bought this because I was tired of using pliers to disconnect the battery.
