Still Needs Work

It seems like a great device. But in 2025 why do we still use 12V connectors (Cigarette Lighter). I don't want to hard wire it because I want to use it with multiple vehicles. My daily driver does not have a 12V connection at the front of the car. My other car has one but it is inconveniently placed. The App is great and makes using the device better, but it is not able to update software via the connection. It has to be plugged into a computer. Seems antiquated these days.

R8

I really like the auto mute feature, after about 5 days it had most of the stores on my commute muted. Only thing I wish was different would be if there was a power cord that didn’t come from a cigarette lighter.
