Frequently Asked Questions

-Due to large order volume, we are currently not accepting new orders. Please contact our retailer PCI Race Radios at the link below to purchase a complete unit. 

-  Unique Componentry provides a one year warranty on  UC workmanship and parts, this does not cover improper installation or wiring (including hooking up to reverse polarity or over voltage). If you disassemble the unit in any way, you will void your warranty with us (example: removing the side housing on a V2 or the back plate on a Gen 3). All conversions void Starlink factory warranty. Failure of Starlink OEM parts or components is not covered by Unique Componentry warranty.

- All V2 Standard Actuated conversions come standard with remotes unless requested otherwise or you have an ethernet port and you MUST utilize these to turn your conversion on and off.

-V2 eliminates the 12-48v integrated power supply that was inside of V1. The circuitry of V2 is reworked to allow your Starlink to run directly from 12.0-14.9vdc with no converters, etc.. allowing it to be as power efficient as possible!

-V2 removes the machined housing from V1 and is now fully sealed and potted for extreme water resistance.

-V2 introduces replaceable cord sets to our conversion allowing accidents to happen and be easily repaired. 

- V2 is smaller in every dimension than V1 ( see the detailed drawings or VR model in the downloads secton to see if it fits where you want it.)

- V2 integrates 1/4"-20 blind threaded inserts into it's rear face allowing 100s of industry standard camera mounting accessories to work with it.

-Please see the video labeled "WIRING AND CONNECTIONS" near the bottom of the page.

-The hardware will be converted to run on a nominal 12 vDC

V2-

    -Booting/Searching ~7 amps = 84 watts 

    -Running/ Normal Use ~2-3 amps =24-36 watts

*** THIS MOD IS INTENDED FOR SAVING POWER AND THEREFORE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE SNOW MELT FUNCTION!  GET YOURSELF A SNOW BRUSH, IT WILL WORK BETTER ANYWAY *****

- We currently do not make conversions for the High-Performance hardware 

- We currently do not make conversions due to the following reasons:

- Larger power draw 

        -The high-performance dish draws approximetly 300% more power than the Standard Actuated hardware 

- Larger in size 

         - High-performance deminsions: 20.1 inches x 22.6 inches x 1.6 inches

         - Unique Componentry deminsions: 11.9 inches x 21.4 inches x 1 inch

- The goal of our conversion was to create the lowest power consumption and smallest form-factor product on the market which we have achieved and the HP models goes against that core principle.

-Completed dimensions of V2 are 11.94" x 21.43" x 1.0"

-GEN3 Hardware conversion retain OEM SIZE

- The short answer is, NO.  

- DC Power is not good at traveling long distances, long cable runs create large voltage drop in DC wiring. If you have a need to remove your dish from it's installation, please check out our 110v IP67 Inline AC power adapter below this is the only way you will get your dish a long distance from your vehicle. 

-Also keep in mind that your solar also won't work parked under those same trees so maybe revaluate if that use case is realistic or just move your vehicle!

- As of January 29, 2024, we will no longer be shipping outside of the 50 United States.
