Driver Alert Nap Alarm

Driver Alert Nap Alarm
  • Great for keeping awake
  • Perfect for truck drivers
  • Alarm sounds if head nods
  • Uses three AG13 batteries - included

I guess as cheap as it is, just keep buying it every 2 months. Broke down in less than 2 months. I even changed the battery--which it doesnt even tell you what size it is and there are so many in that size that you have to make a guess when you go to the store.

My wife picked this up for me when I started the graveyard shift. Well the first week I wore it I was driving home, and you know how you get that feeling that you are awake when really you are just dozing off?? Well I woke up to the Nap Alarm warning me that I was falling asleep!!!

If it had not been for the Nap Alarm, I would have definitely been in the ditch with damage to my car...or worse!!!!

This product actually looks nothing like the picture. It has a different name also. It doesn't work. It is cheaper to just throw it away than to return it and get another one. I would not recommend this item to anyone,

Want Driver Alert Nap Alarm Discount?

ordered 2. Both came in different packaging.. 1 worked , 1 didnt. You can tell they buy these for pennies. Another great product produced by slave labor.

This device seems OK. It works as described. It's somewhat difficult to get to to stay in the correct position on your ear. Biggest trouble was dead batteries -the device worked intermittently for a few days and then died completely. So, you should add the cost of 3 AG3 batteries to the cost of this device, plus the cost of a small Phillips screwdriver if you don't have one already. Then too, the device is somewhat hard to disassemble, even after you take the screw out. A helper and I both thought it had been welded or glued shut.

There are radar detectors which are have a "keep the driver awake" feature. They are much more expensive than this little thing, but safer too: what if you doze off without nodding your head? I have a homemade version of the radar detector feature (having majored in electrical engineering), so actually I'll be driving with both systems to keep me awake .... :)

Remember: the best system is a bed and 3 hours of sleep. Or just pull over and doze for 20-30 minutes at a convenience store or rest stop, that does me a lot of good....

SOLAR PL2216 Pro-Logix 16 Amp Automatic Battery Charger

SOLAR PL2216 Pro-Logix 16 Amp Automatic Battery ChargerThis is easily one of the best battery chargers around for consumer trucks and autos. It automatically checks the condition and type of battery and adjusts the charging cycle accordingly. These are very well made; a quality case and good clamps and cables. They LED displays are eimple to interpret (just read the instructions!). It's also gret thtat it can charge such a range of battery types from Gel Cells to standard Lead Acid. Considering it's power the case is not very large and you can easily store this in a closet or average shop shelf.

This is a great little charger that has a lot of power for its size. It doesn't take up a lot of space and works on all automotive type batteries no matter what your application.

Buy SOLAR PL2216 Pro-Logix 16 Amp Automatic Battery Charger Now

Original review from early 2011, purchased july of 2010:

Perfect all around charger for all automotive batteries. Don't let the low amp rating fool you it'll charge your battery -correctlyfaster than you might think.

I did have problems getting it to charge a completely flat battery, had to start the charge with my traditional charger first to get it going, then switched over once it registered any voltage.

Con: Clamps are a bit small, and difficult to fit over battery terminals.

Oh, and don't expect it to jump start you. :)

Updated Feb 2012:

Now that the charger is dead, I'm less happy with it. Instead of charging, it appears to be internally shorted so when it's plugged in and says its charging, it actually discharges the battery (leaving you with a very hot and very deeply discharged hunk of lead, instead). Since it's outside of it's 1 year warranty, guess it's time for the recycle pile. :(

***Update at the end: READ THE UPDATE AFTER THE REVIEW!***

While the car alarm/remote start system works well, I have had nothing but a bad experience from this remote.

Pros:

-The remote does have a feature that disables the 2-way communication and saves battery life

Cons:

-Every time I change the batteries, the back door breaks or the remote plastic breaks. I duct tape the back door back on, but it will buzz in your pocket every so often. My daughter calls it "angry keys."

-The remote battery life is around 2-3 months...have fun changing the batteries.

-I always find the remote accidentally activating something because the keys press extremely easily against my car key...the only other key on my key chain.

Recommendations:

-The Viper developer needs to make some type of case cover for this remote to prevent it from accidentally unlocking or starting the vehicle.

Update:

There is now an upgrade to this FOB: Essentials 7254V Directed Audio Essentials Viper Responder Le 2-way Led Remote. That FOB has resolved the battery issue as there is no more back panel but rather the face is removable. It may be more sturdy and I will provide a review over time. The buttons are also stiffer for the purpose to resolve the buttons being accidentally pushed. The replacement has better reviews and the battery life cannot be adjusted without a complete redesign, but the other flaws may have been resolved. I'm expecting a 4-5 star review on that FOB in about 4 months or so.

I had called Viper to get a replacement and they gave me 3 numbers of authorized dealers in my area. I called all three and they gave me a price of around $85 for the remote and then told me it would be $50 to $65 to program the remote, acting like this was some big deal. OK, first programming the remote is simple and takes less than 5 minutes to do. It is just opening a car door, turning on the ignition, pushing the button on the control center(the receiver in the corner of the windshield) one time and then pushing it again and holding it until the alarm horn sounds and the LED blinks on the control center. Then you follow the directions on pushing various buttons on the remote which put in in program mode and then set the lock button so the alarm reacts, then just a simple push of one or two more buttons on the remote to close the program mode and you are finished. It isn't brain surgery, or anything they should even charge for, the directions are right in the pack and easy to follow. I went almost five months with a dead alarm system because I thought the repair price was crazy, glad I looked on Amazon and found this replacement and did it myself.

Want Viper 7251V 2-Way LE Responder Remote Discount?

I've been using this remote for the past 2 years and love it. The only problem (which others have mentioned) is the sensitivity of the buttons. BUT, if you READ THE MANUAL you will find that you can lock the buttons so you don't accidentally start you car when you don't want to, among other things if you have additional modules installed.

My only complaint is the battery life is pretty low, around 3 5 months. I ended up buying 30 of the CR2016 batteries on amazon for about $5 and still have about 20 or so left over. (Uses 2 batteries at a time)

I really have to disagree with the previous post.

Pros:

Great design! This remote is easy to use and designed to fit comfortably in your hand. It's hard to believe that the battery life for this remote only lasted for 2-3 months for the first guy. I have been using my remote on a regular basis for little over a year now and have yet to replace the battery (my remote is still going strong BTW). On the topic of battery life, my signal is strong enough for me to still start my car up from a block away.

Cons:

The remote is hard to lock, and can occasionally start the car up from inside your pocket. This can be the only major problem for the remote. However, I am used to clipping my car keys to my belt, so I rarely experience this problem.

All in all this item is GREAT.

Odyssey PC1200LMJT Automotive and LTV Battery

Odyssey PC1200LMJT Automotive and LTV BatteryI have used several Odyssey batteries. ALL have performed as advertised and they are the most reliable batteries so far. I always buy the largest, most powerful battery the space will accommodate and, in our climate of temperature extremes, alway a metal-clad battery. None has failed, used in motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawn tractor, cars and trucks. The extreme cost coupled with the extended life has always made these products a good value. The big bonus is the reduced servicing and replacement time.

This is my third Odyssey battery. I have installed a PC1750 in my truck and a PC1500 in my Viper. Both those installations went smooth a direct replacement for the stock battery.

So finally I got the PC1200 for my Mustang. I was expecting the install to be a breeze, but I was in for a total surprise: This battery does not have any hold-down tabs on the bottom. Unlike the 1500 and 1750 that both have tabs, all sides on the 1200 are flat! There's no way the Mustang stock hardware can secure this battery. Fortunately I found a simple bracket (Google "Metal Battery Strap HDS") that works with most Ford and GM style OEM battery trays and is only $20.

However, after installing the aforementioned aftermarket bracket, I stubled onto another issue: While the bracket makes sure to keep the battery in place in case of an accident, it does not prevent the battery from sliding around inside the tray. It turns out the battery glides rather easily because the bottom is not flat the metal jacketing is folded down the sides of the battery, creating a 1/2" wide "frame" and the battery slides in the tray just like if it was on furniture glides. Tightening down the aftermarket bracket hard would probably solve the problem, but this is IMHO a bad idea since the bracket might be pressing down on spots on the battery that are not created to withstand pressure and this may possibly damage the battery. I solved the problem by attaching an 8x7" piece of 3/16" thick self-adhesive Neoprene rubber pad to the bottom of the battery. This gives excellent friction agains gliding since the non-sticky side of the pad molds itself to the bottom of the tray (which is not completely flat) and the battery now sits rock steadily in place. Finally I'm completely happy with the install!

Buy Odyssey PC1200LMJT Automotive and LTV Battery Now

This battery is perfect for Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006). It fits in the stock location without any modifications, utilizing the stock hold-downs no problem. The battery is actually slightly smaller than stock.

Since this is a sealed battery, it is great for off-roading, where a classic battery could spill due to extreme angles. And since this is a deep-cycling battery it is well matched for heavy electrical winch use.

A metal jacket gives an extra layer of protection to the tough construction.

This battery handled years of abuse in my jeep, and I replaced it with the same model.

Roadpro 12V Hot Pot, 20 oz.

Roadpro 12V Hot Pot, 20 oz.I bought this hot pot, along with a 4-pack of Melitta Ready, Set Joe kits, for a road trip during which stopping for coffee, tea and hot chocolate was not an option. My executive summary of the product is that it works well (and, for those wondering about product longevity, still works even after multiple uses) and that it can boil water. We're very happy with it.

Read on to find out why I give the product 4 stars instead of 5.

The product description could do a better job of managing customer expectations. While this hot pot will boil water, it does take 35 minutes or so to bring a full 20 ounces of it to a boil. This isn't due to any defect in the product's design. It has everything to do with the fact that a car's 12-volt, direct current electrical system isn't made for high-wattage appliances. My minivan can supply up to 120W per outlet, i.e., up to 10A at 12VDC, which is not very much, and I assume this is fairly standard. In contrast, conventional hot pots draw 3-5 times as much power from household current, which is why they boil water faster.

Other than that, my few gripes about this hot pot are:

1. It comes with a mounting bracket, but no instructions that might give an inkling on how one might use it to attach the hot pot to anything on the inside of your vehicle. We ended up discarding the bracket and placing the hot pot on our center console, which is flat, as well as several other flat surfaces we created. But this requires somebody to watch the hot pot while the vehicle is in motion.

2. The lid and removable drinking cup sit on top of the pot, but don't snap or screw on. So this hot pot is NOT spillproof. See #1 above, and understand that if it tips over while it's in use, somebody might get hurt.

3. The exterior of the pot gets quite hot to the touch during use (although the handle stays nice and cool), so trying to hold it to prevent it from spilling is a bad idea.

4. The inside of the pot quickly builds up scaling from the minerals left behind when water evaporates. There's no way to reach in there with any kind of a brush to clean that out, and the interior surfaces would probably be damaged by such a brush anyway. I recommend filling the pot with white vinegar and soaking it for an hour or so after every trip to keep the scaling under control.

5. Despite what the product description says, don't even think of making soup, hot chocolate or any other prepared food in this hot pot. You will never be able to get the interior clean again if you do. Stick with instant drink and soup mixes, use a mug or bowl and pour the boiling water from the pot into your mug or bowl in order to make these foods.

6. There's no spout, and it's difficult to pour without spilling, so do be careful.

To help put the 20-ounce capacity into perspective:

1 standard mug holds about 10 ounces of liquid.

A typical travel mug holds 12-14 ounces.

A normal size disposable bowl holds 12 ounces.

A large size disposable bowl holds 20 ounces.

A normal size packet of hot chocolate requires 6 ounces of water and gives you about 8 ounces of hot chocolate.

As annoying as these shortcomings may sound, they're minor compared with the comfort and convenience of being able to have real, high-quality coffee (that's what the Ready, Set, Joe kits were for!), tea, cocoa and soup while traveling in places where service stations are few and far between or just nonexistent.

This unit works far better than the Max Burton version. The hardwired plug prevents the unit from shorting out. A cup of water almost boils in about 5 minutes. Would be nice if it were sealable like a thermos, and helpful if the measurements on the side were in cups as well as milliliters. about 250 milliliters to a cup. And like my Max Burton review, Nothing but water in these things. They say soups work in these things but even the protein in milk will burn on the heating elements. ONLY WATER! so instant add water drinks, oatmeal, ramen noodles, mashed potatoes.

In preparation for a weeklong roadtrip with my son, I ordered this hotpot, planning to be able to warm up our coffee as we drove. Well there is a light that comes on when you plug in the pot, to let you know you have power, however the unit we received was defective. After about an hour of waiting for heat, I decided to see if it could be fixed. It is very easy to take apart. The leads for the heating element were loosely wrapped around the connectors, but not soldered. Having no tools with me in the car, I tried to reconnect the wires by hand, but could not get a good enough contact for it to heat. Final result: Cold coffee and 12v hotpot put in trash.

I purchased this to use in an RV while boondocking. I have a solar system installed in my RV, and use a 12 volt system, so I needed something to boil water or to at least get water hot enough to make coffee. Well, this hot pot does the job! It definitely boils water with no problem. It takes a while if you have it to the full mark, but that's not a problem for me, as I'm just happy that it works and I don't have to use my propane stove and can now s ave money by using this 12 volt hot pot on power generated by the sun. Works perfect!

UPDATE: When it worked it worked great, but for some reason it stopped heating, but the light still works. I have since requested a replacement, and will return the defective one. I will update in a few months to let you guys know if the new one is still working.

UPDATE #2: I received the replacement unit, and it works fine, but I truly believe the first one stopped working because I left it on after it reached the boiling point, which I guess you need to unplug it at that point. I changed my 5 star rating to a 3 star because you have to really watch this pot or set a timer to make certain it doesn't overheat.

UPDATE #3: Its been 9 months since I've had the replacement unit, and it is still holding on. I heat it up until the boiling point and turn it off. I use the hot water for instant coffee, French press and the mellita drip cones, and all versions do fine with this Hot Pot. I love the fact I don't have to use my propane to heat up water over a stove. This pot has worked wonders for me, but as I had mentioned before.....just don't leave it plugged up too long and it will work wonders for you too. By the way, I noticed on the side of the hot pot is an "imprinted" messages that actually says to UNPLUG the cord as soon as it starts to boil, so that probably explains the failure of the first one. I will up my rating of this product to 4 stars, but now I just use a timer to keep track of the progress. This could be a 5 star product if it had an internal temperature control and wouldn't overheat.

Want Roadpro 12V Hot Pot, 20 oz. Discount?

The Hot Pot heats the water pretty weel, but the cap do not close tight, and the hot water can spill out very easy. I only use once, because I need to make some teas, while working outside and sometimes is difficult to find hot water, but I will never use it again and if I had the possibility to return I could do it, but I don't have the box and the packing list, anyways is not too expensive.

I would like to know, before I bought it, this trouble with the cap.

Coleman Cable 08471 12-Feet Medium-Duty Booster Cable with Non-Polar Glow Clamps, 8-Gauge

Coleman Cable 08471 12-Feet Medium-Duty Booster Cable with Non-Polar Glow Clamps, 8-Gaugevery bare bones but fully functional jumper cables to throw in the trunk of your car. lacks the fancy safety heavy coverings on the grips you will find in much higher priced versions. if you know what you are doing and understand the protocol for safely jump starting a vehicle, don't spend the extra money on a heavier set, this set will serve you just fine.

The Coleman jumper cables are great good quality material. Five stars.

I'm posting this review specifically to remind other potential buyers to review the "Cable Type Selection Guide" (which is featured in one of the product photos). Don't make a dumb mistake like me and buy 8-gauge cables for your full size pickup truck. I am giving these 8-gauge cables to my wife for her sedan and buying Coleman 4-gauge for my vehicle...

For the price of this product, you can't go wrong if you need to jump start your car in a hurry or emergency. My car battery dies often and in the last 3 weeks we've had to jump it 4 times. This does the job. The cable is a little short so you just need to make sure the cars can be relatively close together.

I ordered these for emergency purposes in my 3rd car. The cable is fine, but the clamps on each end are flimsy and I am not sure how well they will clamp to a side terminal battery, if at all. Since my Toyota used top terminals I decided to keep them and hope if I ever need a jump, they will also have top terminals available. Checked Walmart website after buying and they have similarly priced items, so consider looking at brick and mortar before purchasing these "name brand" cables.

A23 Car Alarm Battery - 12V, 2-Pack

A23 Car Alarm Battery - 12V, 2-PackI've found that purchasing batteries on Amazon can be sometimes iffy -sometimes you get what you expect, sometimes you don't. This is one case where I got exactly what I expected: new batteries in retail carded packaging.

As for the battery itself -works perfectly for my application (indoor fan remote control). Can't yet comment on longevity, but Energizer has always been good in the past so no concerns.

I replaced my old battery in my garage door opener and through hot and cold the old one lasted years, so I expect this one will last for years too.

AAMP of America Soundquest SQK0 CCA 1/0 Gauge Wiring Kit

AAMP of America Soundquest SQK0 CCA 1/0 Gauge Wiring Kit
  • 1/0 Gauge Power and Grounding Wires
  • Remote Wire, Speaker wire, and RCA Signal Wires
  • Fuse Block and Fuse
  • Various crimp style connectors

I purchased this amp kit about a month ago for my Rockford T8002 sub amp. I actually read all of the other reviews after I purchased the kit, thank God for that too. I might not have bought it if I had read them first. That would have been a shame, because this is actually a very good kit as far as kits go. Especially considering the price. The kit had everything you need from loom to zip ties to crimp connectors, everything. I read the other reviews about the crimp connectors and I keep reading things such as hammer and vice grips and pliers. These are CRIMP connectors, hello. Use crimpers, crimp pliers. I didn't even use my large crimpers, I used my regular Klein crimpers. The crimp fittings went right on and crimped right onto the wire, solid and stable by the way. The wire, which I keep hearing so much about, is indeed 0 or 1/0 cable size by the AWG code. The problem here is we have all been spoiled to companies over sizing their cable. I read one company, not naming any names, they had three different size and capacity 1/0 cable. Sorry folks, but if it is larger than .3249" in diameter it is no longer officially 1/0, but it is a larger guage. The RCA cable is well made, nothing extravagant, but it gets the job done and done well. Someone actually made a reference to the remote lead not being very large in relation to the other cables especially the power wire. They have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other. The remote lead usually connects to a TL494CN pulse width modulator chip which requires maybe three electrons to turn on. (That was a joke by the way.) I have never seen a remote lead correctly wired conduct more than 500mA. The wire included will have no problem with that current flow. I am sorry but for less than $40 this kit gets a 5 star rating. No, it isn't an Esoteric Ultra Flow kit, but then again, it didn't cost $120 either. In the end, this kit gets the job done!!

I NEVER do reviews but this one was worth the hassle. I own a 2000 F250 Superduty. I have an Xplod deck with JL AUDIO 450/4 used only for my door speakers and a JL AUDIO 1000/1 only for my W7. I usually dont go cheap and buy cheap audio equipment but I say all the other good reviews and said what the hell. So I installed it after taking out JL AUDIO power wire which sucks by the way. (Wore out too fast) My volt meter which used to read 11.6V now is about 13.6 which is a great power difference and Im pretty happy with the product. If your running the same power I am or less you will be happy with this kit.

I ordered this amp kit with a Load of doubt's. A 0 awg kit being cca and actually perform to even close to my expectations. I like the gravel around my sub woofer box was blown away. I could not believe the power and ground wire. I swear It looks like a rope you would expect to see hanging in a tree over a lake for a swing. I used this to hook up a boss nxd 4500 watt onyx mono block amp. Let me tell you something,this may or may not be true 0 awg but i had to wrap the end around and sweet talk it into the big holes for the power and ground with out any casing near the opening. The fuse holder is meh,but those are cheap to moderately expensive depending on what you want.

The remote wire leaves something to be desired,even for 18 gauge it was very fragile but if your nice with it,it will do just fine.

The terminal ends if you dont have the proper crimp tool is a nightmare,if you dont have the money for a crimp tool use a soldier gun and proper soldier and you will be fine.

I did not use the battery connect as i have side post so i cant comment on it's function but it looks decent.

All I can add is that for a 40 dollar 0 gauge kit,this is a hot item. It's Not a world renown name,it is a cca kit,and it is in my opinion a great kit for the every day driver install,but most likely not a good kit for competition style amps/subs

Crimestopper RS4-G3 Remote Start System with Keyless Entry and Trunk Pop

Crimestopper RS4-G3 Remote Start System with Keyless Entry and Trunk PopI cant believe how much I got for under $50. My ladt one two years ago cost me $200. It had a few more features that I Dont really need. Alarm unit is small and easy to locate. Remote is a little heavy but is very sturdy being made of mainly metal.

Installation took me longer than expected around 4 hours but im pretty rusty. Directions were horrible but if you cant figure it out then you shouldnt be installing one. Again im not a professional but at least an hour of the installation was figuring out the instructions.

After hooking it up everything worked except for the remote start would not pickup the voltage correctly. It kept the starter engaged while it was running foe too long. I went through the menus and adjusted the voltage down and it started fine.

Another gripe is with one push of the remote start it starts. I have small kids and they play with my keys all the time. Well looking through the menus I changed it to two pushes of the button instead of one. I wanted to add this because another reviewer didnt know that you could change it.

Last thing is that it has only negative door lock/unlock pulses. If your car requires positive then you will have to run two relays. Look on the 12volt website. They show you how to wire it and the relays are sold with sockets at radio shack.

Hope my review helps potential buyers because im really happy with mine

when i saw the $55 price tag with the free shipping i was skeptical and did some research and it didn't take me long to rush back here to order it. i bought this for my 97' Chevy Silverado and installed it myself; i work on cars all the time so this was not to difficult but i do NOT suggest to anybody who hates electrical stuff or tight spaces or if you are clueless about cars to do it themselves. it is tedious and time consuming but when u push that start button its worth every second. i have had this product installed in my truck for few days now and the only thing i would change is how u push the start button once and the truck starts... be great if u had to push it in a pattern of some sort to prevent accidental starts. Other than that no complaints.ill keep this updated on how thing go and upload a video of it aswell. now my girlfriend even wants me to install one on her 2010 mustang!!!!!

I would DEFINITELY suggest this to ALL my friends!!!

This unit is well built and when married with the appropriate harness and bypass module it is a breeze to install (no cutting of any wires on my vehicle, 100% plug and play, and more details below). The remotes seem very well built and the system works as advertised (so far). Note that this is a 1 way unit, so no confirmation that your vehicle started during a blind start situation.

Pros:

Cheap price

Handles many vehicle configurations (by user programming)

Good customer support

Works very well with Fortin EVO bypass and T-HAR cables for quick/clean install (can be installed in under 1 hour)

Can use a data bus connection to the bypass that will allow for many functions with only a 4 pin connection

Cons:

Instructions may not be 100% accurate

Can be overwhelming, many wires and connections needed. Especially if T-HAR is not used

My experience:

I bought this system along with a THAR-CHR5 cable and Fortin EVO-ALL to be installed on my 2007 Dodge RAM 1500. I consulted a tech at crimestoppers by email prior to the order to ensure that I was in fact purchasing the correct components for my system. The technician replied within a day or two and was very helpful in confirming the proper configuration needed for my particular situation.

Once all items were received, I followed the directions supplied along with some directions found online on the manufacturer's website for how to install with this configuration. Had an issue with install where the instructions indicated that if my car did not have a certain connector that I would use an alternate install, took a little to figure out there was an alternate install, once this was realized I proceeded as instructed. With this preliminary install (wires twisted together, sitting on the floor of the truck) almost everything worked except for an issue with the remote start not staying started. It would start then run for about 5 seconds then shut down and start again. It would cycle like this until I cancelled the remote start. I was back on with the tech from the original email and he suggested trying some things, which I did with no luck. Ended up calling the tech support line and left a message. Received a call back within a few hours and after explaining the issue and talking over my current wiring scheme the tech suggested that another wire would have to be connected between the RS4-G3 and the bypass, (pink ignition wire from high current harness must be combined with the yellow ignition wires found on the EVO and low current connector) this was not outlined in any directions found in box or online. After this was complete, the system worked without fault. Had I known this I could have installed the system in much less than an hour. I ended up installing and tearing down a few times over the course of a week, soldering all the connections and pulling the pins out of the connectors that were not needed. This only took around an hour in total work time.

The price was good, but the directions are almost criminally bad. My friend, who has extensive professional experience with car electronics, is STILL traumatized from trying to properly install it. After visiting the Crimestopper website, combing the internet for insight, and calling in consultant buddies to assess the problem, he believes my 2002 Suburban needs an adapter part to make the remote starter work. So, I wait.

Unless you have a telepathic ability to understand incomprehensible schematics, and a desire to introduce a hefty dose of longsuffering to your life, buy this product here, then pay a "Remote Start System" professional to install it at the dealer's,

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Dodge Ram Models (Tan)

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Dodge Ram ModelsThe fit decently, look good, and do the job they are supposed to. Expensive though. I do like how they cover up all of the carpet in the floor wells.

These are outstanding floor mats. The coverage is excellent, I have no fear that a spill is going to cause a huge mess. However the tan color could stand to be a shade darker and dirt shows up REALLY well on these mats. I don't mean just mud, but sand, any sort of dirt that may just fall off your shoe. To be fair, that just means the mats are doing their jobs though.

Pros

awesome coverage

TOUGH and won't slip around under your feet

Cons:

color match not 100%

common dust / dirt shows up really fast and bright.

All in all, WELL worth the money and I'm very satisfied.

I received the liner package yesterday and they were installed within 5 minutes. Very easy to install. Simply remove your old liners, vaccuum the carpet and place the new liners. The 'nubs' that hold these to the carpet are more like spikes. This thing will NOT slide around.

It fits the contours of the floor board precisely. I was very surprised at the level of detail the designers went to in ensuring that every contour is matched. Even the factory clip for the driver seat floor mat is factored into the design. While it would appear that your shoes would slide around on the mats due to the texture, they do not. I was surprised by that in leather soled dress shoes, my feet did not slide.

I was initially concerned about the thickness of the product. At what I'd estimate to be about 3-4mm thick, this must be some serious material to hold up to the warranty. After installing and seeing how the product fits the vehicle, I'm no longer concerned.

Warranty they are guaranteed by the manufacturer to outlast your vehicle. Warranty excludes abuse (closing your door on it, dropping a sword on it, etc.) but covers product failure.

I'm very pleased with this product and would absolutely recommend it to anybody. I only wish I could return the rubber Michelin rugged spill mats I bought a few months ago that constantly slid about my floor.

Vector VEC010S 300 Amp Jumpstarter

Vector VEC010S 300 Amp JumpstarterThis is a nice unit for starting cars, as noted below. But it may be too small for some other 12-volt applications. The lighter-socket outlet will shut off if you exceed 5 amps of continuous draw, and the unit can only store a few "amp/hours" of power. If you need something for overnight use or to do much more than charging a cell phone, you might need a larger unit.

It works fine for starting cars, though. This appears to be identical to the Vector VEC010BD, which sells under the Black and Decker label. B&D has more recognition, I've seen this one (the Vector brand) at some auto supply shops, as well as here on Amazon. So you get the same product, no matter what the label or where you get it.

My neighbor had one of these, and I borrowed it several times to start my car, which was otherwise totally dead. It worked perfectly, even when the unit wasn't fully charged. So I bought my own, charged it overnight as per the instructions, three hours past the blinking green. (Note: the brief manual is very well written, and should be easy to follow.)

For some reason my car would not start right up, as it had the other times with my neighbor's jump starter. The car turned over and over, but wouldn't kick in, and the effort drew down the jump starter's cranking power completely.

The instructions tell you to wait a little when this happens, so I did. After a few minutes, I turned it back on, tried again, and the car started. I don't think it was a matter of a flooded engine, which one might suspect. Just a curious sort of process.

I recharged the Vector unit completely again, and the next time I needed to jump the car, it was instantaneous. I performed multiple jumps without needing a new charge. So, I don't know whether there is anything special about the first time, because every other time I've used it, it has been great.

If you do want it mostly for jump starts, and do not expect to need it as an "emergency power" source for long hours, or to run any kind of serious appliance, it is a fine choice.

I bought a Vector vec013 and after a couple months it doesn't hold the charge.All leds show full charge but with it you can NOT start a car.May be is ok for small motorcycles or lawnmowers...but definately is NOT good for a car or truck.BEWARE..It's a waste of money!

This thing rides around in the back of the SUV and does a lot of bouncing around. Very tough. I originally bought it for the boat. Yes it worked for that, that was like 4 years ago. I have only charged it up like twice in all these years. It has always worked. Generally the battery level will show 2 lights. I used it like 8 mos ago for some nice old guy in a parking lot at middle school. I am happy to not have been embarrassed. I had to use it the other day for myself. Worked like a charm, and no, I never charged it up after helping the guy at middle school. Still has 2 lights on.

If you are looking to keep your celly charged up while camping I recommend finding a camping spot out of cell range. Otherwise, charge your celly off of your car. If your car dies you can use this to get car going again.

By the way, I have the older, orange version of this, with the 12vDC output/input.

Easy to use. Effective. I ordered it to replace exact same model/item that I had bought elsewhere several years ago. Lasted a long time. Provides a feeling of security to have it in the trunk everywhere I drive. Fine for the price. Didn't have to use it often, of course; but also didn't have to take it into the house to recharge more than twice a year. Highly recommend for the price.

Want Vector VEC010S 300 Amp Jumpstarter Discount?

Had one of these units for a few years, but didn't experience a battery problem until recently. When I attempted to connect the unit to my battery, the positive jumper clamp (plastic) snapped in half, rendering the unit useless for its intended purpose. An examination of the negative clamp revealed that it was heavily cracked also, and would have given way in short order as well. Given that I'd never even used the jump starting capability of the unit before, I'm going to chalk this up to the use of cheap materials. As such, it's hard to recommend.

The compressor and power output functions seemed to work as intended however.

Battery Tender 021-1162 Solar Panel Charger Controller

Battery Tender 021-1162 Solar Panel Charger ControllerI've used it for 7 months now to charge alternately a 32AHr, 26AHR and 8Ahr deep cycle AGM batteries and it has done a great job. I have a 30 watt monocrystalline solar panel wired directly to it and connect it directly to my batteries using various quick disconnect connectors. I monitor the state of discharge (with a multimeter)and never let my batteries fall below 75% of rated capacity (as recommended by battery manufacturers for best practice and long life of battery.) The Battery Tender as described is a 3 stage charge controller and will put the most voltage out when the battery needs it and cuts back as it approaches full charge down to a trickle level. All the batteries quickly recharge even on partial sun days. Takes 3-6 hours of sun on the biggest battery less on the others. Keeping them topped off is easier (better for it), faster to recharge, and simple to rotate each bettery for its day or shared day of charging.

I've monitored its output to the various batteries and it does its job as described at manufacturers website.

Charge light lets you know when it is working and indicates what stage its at by color or flashing. Again just as described.

I use 12 volt DC LED lights and and connected to my inverter some AC CFL lights and charge all my phones and run my laptop a few hours EVERYDAY! If you have the right expectation of what wattage you planned to use and think about the set-up you can make a nice daily use (or emergency use) system with these components.

I am very pleased with the product to used for a small solar systems using a 45 watt panel or less. I plan to buy a few more and connect up lights, radios, in other rooms all over the house. My way of going green.

I also charge my AA, AAA rechargeable batteries with a DC connectable battery charger off my 32AHr battery too!

Saves me a lot of money on batteries and I use more battery operated devices now and the family enjoys the whole system. Use the Battery Tender only to charge batteries and do not try to run other things from it. That is not what is was designed for.

********

1 YEAR LATER: Now Feb 2013 AND THIS PRODUCT IS STILL SERVING ME WELL AND AS DESCRIBED. GREAT FOR SMALL TARGET INSTALATIONS!

I would rate this higher, but the charger I received sounded like a screw or electrical component fell off inside of the sealed charger body and is rattling around inside. I am hoping that it does not lead to a short circuit. I needed it for a project so I installed it and it appears to be working OK so far. Otherwise, I like the simplicity of this product. Easy to wire into my solar powered fountain project...

This works as advertized. I have used it for about a month on my lawn tractor that was in a shed for the winter, It took about a week(After the modifications below) for it to fully charge the battery because it and discharged some over the winter, I have several complaints\suggestions.

1) It has input and output terminal on opposite ends with screws to attach the wires

There is no shielding or covers over these blocks, which leave them open to shorting

if they touch any thing metal.

2) It does not come with any wires like other Battery Tender products. Most panels have a two wire

modular plug which you would need to cut to use with this charger. To solve this I purchased a

"Trailer Wiring Kit 2 Pole Flat Set" from one of the major Auto repair\parts

national chains and cut it in half. I soldered ring connectors from a wiring Kit rather

than crimping them. After attaching the wires, I covered the exposed terminals screws with

electrical tape to prevent an accidental short circuit.

3) I originally had four 1.5 W panels, which did not charge the battery. After I added a

added a 7.5 W panel for a total of 10.5w (one 7.5w and two 1.5 w panels, it worked fine.

1 APR 13 updated review-This controller does not work with 6v batteries; I made the same mistake and when I thought it said 5v to 45v (volt) and it is 5w to 45w (watt) as another reviewer stated. The charge light illuminates but it does not charge, it only appeared to. No damage was done to my battery as my solar panel output is max 9v. My search for a 6v controller continues.

Car DVR HT200A Full HD 1920*1080P 30FPS 4X digital zoom waterproof HDMI H.264 sport action camera

Car DVR HT200A Full HD 1920*1080P 30FPS 4X digital zoom waterproof HDMI H.264 sport action camera
  • 5.0Mega pixels COMS sensor
  • 120degree 5G All Glass Lens
  • 720p(1280*720)/30FPS.VGA(640*480)/60FPS
  • SD Card slot (Support Max.32GB SDHC)
  • Bulit-in microphone

The camera works well and takes great 1080P HD movies in the daytime but night performance is quite poor, not as good as some other less expensive cameras. The video is dark and everything looks brown and fuzzy at night so it's best to use this model just in the daytime. Also it's a sports cam not a car DVR. Although it can be used in a car it won't come on and start recording automatically. It also has a few other issues. Due to being waterproof there is a heavy rubber cover over the buttons that makes them hard to press. Also the mic, which is inside the case, doesn't pick up much sound unless the back cover is open but with it open you get a lot of rattling noise. The mounting hardware also has issues. The angle bracket and the suction cup mount connect with 4 small prongs but they have a bump on them that prevents sliding into the holes they are supposed to go into. I had to file them off a bit before they would go together. The suction cup is large and has a sticky surface that stays on when it's attached but the prong that the camera sits on is small and lets the camera vibrate and bounce around all the time. Also the knob that is turned to attach the suction cup has a big detent it drops into when it's turned all the way on but then it won't easily come undone to remove it. I purchased different mounting hardware on ebay to use instead of the supplied one, a different suction cup with a metal camera mount attached to it that doesn't vibrate. In addition the mounting plate on the bottom of the camera is attached with 8 small screws that go into little plastic pins and 3 of them are starting to break already so it will probably have to be glued on with epoxy eventually.

Roadpro 12V, 2 Outlet Platinum Series Fused Cigarette Lighter Adapter with Short Cord

Roadpro 12V, 2 Outlet Platinum Series Fused Cigarette Lighter Adapter with Short CordHi. I thought a video of this interesting 12 volt splitter was the only way to review the product. I hope it helps you with your shopping.

This isn't a very complicated device so this review will be brief.

It effectively splits a 12v connection into two functional ones, each with a nice handy cap on it. Don't underestimate the usefulness of those two caps, as a stray bit of metal or anything conductive could blow the fuse on this.

Having mentioned the fuse, let me point out that not all splitters are manufactured with a fuse built into them. Without a fuse on the splitter itself a stray bit of metal or conductive material will cause the fuse in your car's electrical box to blow. This adds a little extra security as likely the fuse on the splitter is of a lower rating than that in your electrical box: so it blows first.

An earlier review mentioned electrical interference which made me wary about this product at first. However upon examination, I'm not exactly clear where such interference could be coming from. The splitter is incredibly simple with no real electrical processing being done to the power going through it. It's a fuse gated adapter with two connectors on it. As I have a zune controller and in line adapter running off one of the connectors on this, I was afraid that I would experience some hum or something similar to that mentioned in an earlier review. No issues here.

The wiring doesn't seem to be of high quality, but since I paid so little for it and don't plan on using it for heavy duty applications, that isn't something I will deduct for. The wiring is adequate and likely will not break unless I pull hard on it or abuse it.

Very nice item, handy and safe. It is fused and saves digging under the dash for auto fuses when you overload it -and ends cover to prevent shorts and keep dust out when not in use. I love it and good value for money.

I bought this after reading many of the reviews touting this as a great product. I was very disappointed. I am not certain what those folks were plugging into this splitter, but I just wanted to charge my phone and run my radar detector at the same time.

It is very low quality and does not hold a connection very well at all. It has a copper cylinder/sleeve for the side connection and this simply does not have enough grip to hold the center connection down all the time. Hit a bump, move your device, or any jiggling at all, and you are disconnected. I am 100% sure it is not a quality issue with my male ends because they work great in any other connection I have used them in previously.

Great idea, but it needs some sort of tapering or other way to secure the connection and this would be a great product for the price. Until then save your money and look elsewhere.

Want Roadpro 12V, 2 Outlet Platinum Series Fused Cigarette Lighter Adapter with Short Cord Discount?

The Roadpro 12V, 2 Outlet Platinum Series Fused Cigarette Lighter Adapter is made. Each outlet socket comes with a plastic cover to prevent objects from an accidental producing a shot circuit. The wiring to each socket uses standard 16awg wire; which is adacquit for most devices using this connection. The built in fuse is a MUST. Do not purchase one without it. If you exceed the maximum allowed current, the fuse in the plug should "blow", not the car fuse. The fuse in the Roadpro in much easier to replace than the one in the car.

Note of caution: Make sure that the center pin, on the male plug, will spring in & out as you compress it, with your finger. A "good" connection will not be made unless this is true. If it doesn't, rotate the tightening nut first CCW [loosing it] and then CW [tightening it] and it should free itself. If not, repeat a couple of times. The nut should be finger tight.

This is a passive connection. NO hum or electrical interference can result from using it. If you hear noise or buzzing sounds, they are produced by the device you have plugged into it, NOT the "pig-tail." Cell phone chargers are notorious noise producers as are some other devices as well.

I purchase two and am planning to purchase two additional ones. Great product!

URO Parts 9166200 Keyless Remote Outer Casing

URO Parts 9166200 Keyless Remote Outer CasingI driven Volvo for the last 11 years and plan on driving it for 11 more. The remote control casing on my key less remotes have just worn out cracked and just would not stay together any longer, we called the dealer ship about two years ago to replace them and needless to say we didn't do it.

We order most things online and did not really think about the remotes casing being something we would find, but who knew?

The casing fit perfectly and the price was affordable we are keyless again and I still love my volvo.

10 stars to Amazon and URO parts they helped us order the right one the first time.

We ordered 2 of these to replace the original key fobs for our Volvo, the plastic had gone brittle and crumbly. the replacement casings arrived quickly and I was able to swap the fob innards from the old to the new in about 2 minutes. You do have to take care not to pinch the rubber seal and that the button are properly placed, but otherwise it's a simple task.

Very satisfied.

I have a 2000 Volvo S40 (original owner). Over the years I have dropped my keys too often for my remote's likings. They cracked, chipped, broke in half. Dealer just told me they would be expensive to replace so I limped along w chipped, broken fobs--until this week! This product was easy for even me to put together! Took a little finagling to pull old fobs apart and snap new ones together. Only trick: use the buttons that come w the new fob. I used the original buttons with the new fob and the remote kept locking the car. I guess the lock button did not quite fit. When I swapped out the old buttons for the new it worked perfectly! Yeah! Now I don't have to winder if the next time I pull my keys out from my computer bag whether the fob will fall to pieces. I still sigh w relief every time I pull out my new fob. Don't hesitate--if you need this fob, get it!

JL Audio 250/1v2 250W RMS, Slash Version 2 Series Class D Monoblock Car Amplifier (250/1 v2)

JL Audio 250/1v2 250W RMS, Slash Version 2 Series Class D Monoblock Car AmplifierI've had this amp for a couple of years now and am completely sold. I have it running a 12" JL Audio W3 in a slot vented box. It slams hard, especially for just being a single sub. Also, I've hooked it up to my buddies pair of Kicker CVR 12's and it had them slumping hard. He had some cheap POS amp, supposedly 800-1000 watts, and my little JL blew it out of the water all around, pushing his speakers or mine. It's installed in my Suburban, and you can definitely feel the bass and people know that I'm coming when I have it turned up. My buddies that are real audiophiles have a lot more power in their ridiculous systems, but I have kids and a wife that I drive with and the truth is, it gets way too loud for them when I turn it up. However, people that don't know about stereo systems extensively doubt me when I tell them I have only one 12" sub making all that nice clean bass, and then they see how small the amp is and are really blown away. Don't let this little amp fool you. It's a BEAST for its size as are all the amps in JL slash series. You can't go wrong with this line of amps so long as you are running quality components with it.

I have this on a boat running an kicker comp 10 inch infinite baffle. It plays loud and clean with plenty of control. One of the best class D sub amps I have used. Not as good sounding as an old school AB design (ORION, PPI). It runs for days without shutting down and won't kill your battery in 10 minutes.
