Starlink 12v Hack For Van Life and RVs WITHOUT CUTTING Wires + Flat Starmount Modification
Jump to Connections
305,372 Views ā€¢ Jun 27, 2023 ā€¢ Click to toggle off description
In episode 23 of Van Build Series 2.0, we hack the Starlink Dishy to mount it flat on the roof of the van and convert the wiring from 120v to 12v without cutting any wires. This will allow us to stay connected when we travel up to Canada, down into Mexico, and in the remote places of the US.

It's all made possible with the following components:
* Starmount - star-mountsystems.com/products/low-profile-flat-moā€¦
* POE Injector - amzn.to/3NQHCsy
* Dishy Cable Adapter to RJ45 - amzn.to/3NLYfFL
* USB Pocket Router - amzn.to/3CNqMoj
* 12v to 48v Converter - amzn.to/42WnpWE
* 12v Switch - amzn.to/44ElcR5

UPDATE: After 6 months are Starlink flat mount failed us. It got condensation inside and damaged the unit. Hereā€™s a link to the video: https://youtu.be/l4E2QKpdBl0?si=IBckg4K5pboVKcyj Original Comment: Thanks for watching the video!!! We really appreciate it! I will not make the ā€œbits / bytesā€ mistake again haha Also here's some more info regarding how the Starlink is performing on our Instagram reel: www.instagram.com/reel/Cwh_qb-o4h6/ For those who think itā€™s stupid to mount it flat, hereā€™s a link describing how a phased array antenna (this is a phased array dish) wifiranger.com/how-does-starlink-work/#:~:text=As%ā€¦

It's not a "little magnet" it's a ferrite which can improve performance in certain EMI "noisy" environments and/or reduce electromagnetic emissions of the device to bring it in compliance with FCC rules.

Really good assembly, you could say it's even better than the official option since it's 12 volts

The Mbps means Megabits Per Second, for Megabytes Per Second you need to take the value speed-test shows you and divide it by 8, for example, your 20Mbps is 2.5MB/s and the 170-ish is 21.25MB/s.

You made me comfortable in performing my own project like this to put on my atv and snowmobile when Iā€™m out there traveling between communities in the Arctic, thanks dude. Youā€™re the man!

Great, great, informative video without "over-gabbing" or becoming redundant. Hope a lot of vanlifers get this info. I'm in a cabin in eastern Arizona on the side of a mountain, off-off grid and only have "2 bar" cell service, about 3 or 4 hours a day. Having too many issues with 110 volt so this 12 volt solution is a win win. Thank you and travel safe.

An informative video. Since we normally park under a ton of trees I am interested in just converting my Gen 2 dishy to 12vdc. Thanks for listing the necessary components to do that conversion.

Have a look at the Mikrotik Hex Poe router. Runs on DC, can output 48v via the built in POE at/af ports. So you can do away with the 12/24v converter and the injector and end up with a much better router to boot.

I'm curious how the metal roof rack there would impact the transmission pattern of dishy. also being off axis could be a slight issue but they use a phase array system anyway, with out the motors moving the dish it's going to be Tx'ing off to a sat at totally the wrong angle. Super cool project, Thanks for sharing bud
