Starlink dishes require static orientation for reception. You can't drive around like you can with a cellphone and maintain an uninterrupted signal. Probably better to pay attention to driving anyway.

starlink mini works perfectly from the back seat
I connected the power to the 12V socket, run a cable to the back seat and strap the antenna to a soft bag , which I secured with safety belts
the fabric roof doesn't block the signal
