Hey all! This is Tyler from Power Tank! We are a small family business based in the Sacramento Area of CA. Power Tank started in 1997 by my dad, Steve, before there were any good portable tire inflation products on the market. He put together a CO2 system from parts from a welding supply after ruining a set of brand new BFG mud tires from not being able to air himself up after a trail. He put an ad in a 4x4 magazine and it became a business! Fast forward 25+ years and we have been constantly improving the Power Tank while also adding more products to our lineup. The Power Tank remains the fastest and most reliable way to air up after a day on the trail, especially when paired with Monster Valves which also allow rapid tire deflation. We make Shock Inflation tools used by professional race teams and rec wheelers alike. Our line of propane tank brackets and fire extinguisher brackets are lightweight and incredibly strong. I know many of you already have built-in compressors so instead of trying to sell you something off the bat, I would rather learn about how you all air up and air down for off-roading. What are your typical street and trail pressures? Is the 20 ft hose included with the compressor kit long enough? Would you prefer to have a Tire Inflator tool with a gauge? We make everything in-house so we have the capability to make custom solutions to adapt to your existing equipment if we're aware of any pain points or annoyances. www.powertank.com

For over a week, I've been working to get Apple CarPlay and Android working on my Rivian center display. I'm happy to announce that I recently stumbled on a video that cracked the code, and currently trying to bring this functionality to all Rivian owners. I came across a video where a Rivian owner created an Android-based hardware device called "EV Play".

While using it, he realized that EV Play could be a lot more than just CarPlay and Android Auto. The Rivian screen and sound system are amazing, and this could quickly be morphed into a full-blown infotainment system.

At the end of the day, I know he certainly does not have all the answers. And so in addition to the physical device he says he'd would love to eventually build a community where owners can discuss new ideas and propose new features. Which I think is a great idea.

There are still a few bugs to work out, but I'm sure he's pretty close to getting them resolved. Here's a link to the video in case anyone is interested.
