was only on the Roidmi 2 that didn't work on every car

hm

why didn't 2 work on all cars?

genuinely curious

Nope

3 and 3S fixed that

2 used a flat headed connector

which doesn't connect well on some cars

so the Roidmi is still just an fm modulator, but controlled through an app on your phone?

hmmm

not really the app

just bluetooth

what tribit said, different connector

you use the app to set it up for the first time

once you've done that your phone should connect to it through BT once you start the car

@Goz3rr I've never seen anything else use that design on the left lol

I want one of these but that connects to my radio’s aux rather than use FM

@Raikon there's millions of those too

I generally see a few that need to be charged

Ah, something like this

here's Ugreen

and Anker has this https://www.anker.com/ca/products/variant/soundsync-drive/A3351011

there's many versions out there

Dang, wasn’t expecting that to be 23 bucks

that's because it's Bluetooth 5.0

I believe

all these Bluetooth 5.0 gadgets are like 15, 20 or more

paying extra for that new standard

Is BT 5.0 even worth the upgrade?

@Matthew considering stuff like the MX master and TWS earphones demand it, I guess so

also I kinda wish I was off miui now tbh
I want the one feature apple implemented, apparently if you mash power button it will force pass code entry

useful if you're a journo or activist in a less than free™ country and a 🐖 wants into your phone

MIUI has a distress SOS thing I guess, texts contacts and forces GPS on and transmits, useful if kidnapped I guess

pig will just shoot rubber bulltes into your face until you enter your password

Gay

@Cole some guy in Hong Kong did just that and they tried to forcefully pull his face up to the phone for FaceID to no avail

don't know if they pummelled him afterwards

you're gonna get your shit kicked in either way so you might as well use plausible deniability and not let them have access to stuff that would incriminate you further
