Starlink Mini Temp-Shield Lockable Theft-Resistant Rooftop Mount
Reliable Starlink connectivity for 4WDs, campers, caravans & off-grid setups — engineered in Melbourne, Australia.
Built tough in Melbourne, Australia, the Kettle Customs Lockable Starlink Mini Mount System delivers dependable internet wherever you park. Strength, protection and smart functionality in one refined package — designed for Australia’s harsh touring conditions.
3 mm UV-Tinted Acrylic Cover — Standard
- 3 mm UV-tinted acrylic reduces solar heat and glare.
- Guards against dust and debris while maintaining airflow.
- Fully removable for cleaning or replacement; stainless fasteners supplied.
Universal M8 Slot Mounting Base (No-Drill)
Precision-cut M8 slots throughout the base allow direct installation to all major roof-rack systems using each manufacturer’s channel bolts or T-slot hardware. No drilling required — bolt straight in for a secure, factory-grade fit.
- Pump-style suction mount for smooth, non-porous surfaces — fast on/off with built-in check indicator.
- Rubber-coated magnet (Ø66 mm pot with 15 mm boss, M6 external stud) for paint-friendly, low-profile mounting.
- Both attach via the mount’s M8 slots using appropriate hardware and can be removed or re-positioned as needed.
Integrated Cooling — Twin 40 mm Fans & Thermostat Control
- Two 40 mm 12 V fans promote directed airflow through the mount to maintain stable operating temperatures for the step-up converter and the Starlink unit.
- Normally-open ~40 °C thermostat closes at approximately 40 °C to switch fans ON, then opens again as temperatures drop — automatic, no manual switching.
- Ducted intake/exhaust path minimises dust ingress and improves heat rejection.
- Low-draw circuit with inline fuse for protection.
Optional 12 V → 30 V Step-Up Converter (Internal Fitment Supported)
- The lockable housing has space to mount the converter internally for a neat, weather-protected install.
- Plug-and-play output via the factory Starlink barrel plug (pre-wired lead recommended).
- Accepts input from your 12 V/24 V system (Anderson-style connection recommended).

Heat can disrupt service: In extreme heat, dishes may throttle or shut down. A thermostatically-controlled airflow path helps maintain performance.
