      I’m conflicted on the projects like that one right now. It’s super clever to monitor the network traffic for specific dash buttons trying to reach out, but it also feels super janky and I don’t feel like I can justify putting the effort to set that up when it just feels so fragile. Especially with the caveat that if the amazon block you have to setup for it fails then the device just becomes a paperweight.

      Genius idea, but I’m going to hold out for the unlikely possibility of someone figuring out a firmware level hack.

        In a device this old with (what is now) crappy battery life? They’re already garbage.
