    The Official Xiaomi Thread

    I have just replaced my Samsung A33 with a Note 14 Pro plus, which I bought from Bash for R7k. Unfortunately, now sold out. I am very happy with the new phone. It is well speced and does everything I need it to do very well. I also looked at the Note 14 Pro at Incredible, (who still have stock...

    Hands Free Kit

    Thanks. Yes this is the best option, but way more than I want to spend. I have already looked into it and the best priced unit for my bakkie is around R6k.

    Suitable Battery Monitor

    Thanks for all your help everyone. I have just installed the voltmeter. Also checked with the multimeter and it is pretty accurate. Cost me R28, some bits of cable I had lying around, 2 connectors, some heat shrink and sweat. Overall pretty happy and it's just what I wanted - something simple...

    Suitable Battery Monitor

    I did see these but was a bit dubious as to their accuracy and longevity. The Victron Smart Shunt would be the way to go, but like you say, hellish expensive. Many thanks will give this some more thought.

    Extend Home WiFi

    Worth asking, but I think it will be expensive considering where the exisiting box is.
