    Any wallet-friendly rear mats out there?

    I was on the same goal! Couldn’t find affordable rear mats that fit, so I ended up getting a universal set from the auto store and trimming them down. Not perfect, but they get the job done without costing an arm and a leg! Plus, I kind of like that I got to customize the fit a bit. Might be...

    MINI charging issues

    Oh man, updates causing problems instead of fixing them is so frustrating! I had something similar happen with my Mini, charging schedule went haywire, and the connector felt finicky. I ended up resetting the whole charging schedule, and it seemed to fix it. It’s like the update just reset...

    Aftermarket dashcam

    Totally get what you mean, dangling wires drive me crazy too! 😖 I recently installed a Thinkware F800 Pro in my Mini, and I went the extra mile to tuck the wires neatly into the headliner and A-pillar. It wasn’t too hard with a bit of patience, and now it looks almost factory-installed. I...
