Used mine on the oven glass a couple weeks ago and it was fine. The glass didn’t care about the steam at all. Honestly the only thing I’d watch is the drips running down the glass while you’re working, but that’s just a wiping thing, not a damage thing.

I’ve got the RFID holder for my passport too, but I still keep a Guardality in my main wallet. That way I’m covered if I grab my wallet without thinking about the passport holder. Probably depends on how you carry stuff, but that’s my preference.

Cell signal has nothing to do with how the adapter links up. It’s using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi between your phone and the adapter, so the garage won’t affect that part.

The only thing I’d keep in mind is that if you rely on streaming music or online maps, those won’t load until you’re back in an area with data. The connection itself will still be fine, but the apps might sit there spinning for a bit. That’s not a TopCarPlay issue, that’s just your phone being in a dead zone.

I’ve been in spots where my phone showed no service and CarPlay still popped up right away. So the adapter does its job regardless. Whether it stays connected while you’re parked in a dead zone, that’s really just down to your phone’s Wi-Fi range and the car’s interior. Shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re leaving the car and walking far away, but then you’re not using it anyway.

Appreciate the input, everyone. Sounds like keeping the kid mask around covers most of the edge cases, so I’ll stop second-guessing it.

80 sq ft is basically the ideal size for it, so you wont have to worry about hot or cold spots. I’d be more concerned that it just blows air right at you if you sit too close. You might end up adjusting the settings more than you think.
