How To: Mobile Setup for Starlink Mini on Sun RoofFirst off, I recognize that I have OCD... So when It came to mounting a Starlink Mini in my car I was not in a hurry to just slap it in. The criteria was simple. I can remove it easily, it gets powered by 12v, and it mounts inside the car interior. Well, I managed to check all the boxes after some digging... The mount: Being a avid user of a 3d Printer I new I could find something that would make sense to print and mount the dish. After racking my brain on how to do it I decided to see what was out there already and stumbled upon the design from clloyds (clloyds_304573) on printables. Link here or download below  
Then you you are going to need some suction cups... easily found on Bezo's Speedshop here...  The Power: Next you will need to power it. This is a two part problem the barrel connector and the voltage. See my original goal was to power it with 12 volts. I tried a few different combination but in the end I went with a obvious choice. A 12v laptop charger and a USB -C to 5521 Adapter. This type of adapter provides higher voltages as needed to allow the Starlink Mini to operate as normal. See below or click here:  You are also going to need one of these.... The power adapter  The Finished Product: After all was said and done, it worked awesome... well just one thing... Because the sunroof was now going to stay open I need to get it tinted darker and with something that would help reject the heat. Well Ceramic 35% was the ticket and I was nervous on whether or not the reception would be blocked. In the end... all systems go. Averaging 40 to 55 mbps while moving and over 110 mpbs while stationary!  Alright, back to the rally!
