    Apple Carplay with a WIFI Box

    I have the T2C in the US and it is working now that new firmware updates have fixed some issues but have good/bad news about it... Good: Initially required SIM card so got pre-paid $10/m tablet account from H2O wireless (in hindsight would choose T Mobile) and had major issues After two firmware...

    Rebadging template suggestions?

    Thank you. It was a fun project to think about and measure down to the half-millimeter but got it placed. Now the decision is whether I want to add the arc - I kind of like it as-is

    Rebadging template suggestions?

    He called to double check that I knew I got black chrome and this was morning of pickup. Had a tight window when I could get it and he said he needed another 45 minutes or so to put them back on. I said I could figure it out. I have to go back there to grab the original emblems so could see if...

    Rebadging template suggestions?

    Thanks - had seen that somewhere else. Didn't realize how ingenious it was with the clip on back end to make sure it was centered. But for $30, I wish it was applicable for the frunk and trunk. For a one-time use, seems like a lot.

    Rebadging template suggestions?

    I had my model 3 wrapped and got replacement black chrome T emblems for the trunk and frunk as well as new Dual Motor/red stripe (have stealth performance) for right of the license plate. I'm wondering if anyone has fashioned a template to use for placing these centered and straight and can...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Bought my white Model 3 stealth performance in August 2019 and still love it but felt like all I was seeing was Teslas. Did some research on orange wraps and found some great samples here that looked amazing. Dropped the car off 2 weeks ago and picked it up last night. LOVE IT! Feels like a...

    Control Arm backorder

    Just had mine done. Booked two months ago when the passenger side started. Got a message via app 2 days before appt that they only had the passenger side and wanted to replace both so I bumped appt one month and got it done. It was very embarrassing while the sound was present.

    CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough

    Unpopular opinion: Not all that impressed with CarPlay after one week of borrowing son's car Longer version: My 2019 stealth 3 is in for a wrap this week (too many white 3s out there). I have been very interested in CarPlay being 'all in' on Apple products and have been following this thread...

    Thanks! Had forgotten to check AliExpress. Scored the side repeater covers for $25. Also got some front fog light black covers and will see how they look before applying

    Tesla Model 3 wrap planned (orange) - need some advice on emblems and possible side mirror cover

    Thanks! Going to feel like a new car after 3 years. 1 - no looking to stay OEM sized but not sure if I should believe the hype of these 3rd party sellers that their emblems are better. Also are the OEM black ones matte or glossy? If matte, would likely go 3rd party. If 3rd pay, any favorites...

    Tesla Model 3 wrap planned (orange) - need some advice on emblems and possible side mirror cover

    I put down a deposit on getting my 2019 stealth performance white model 3 wrapped. Good local pro. I checked swatches for orange and, going in, was deciding between Avery Supreme Orange Gloss and 3M Burnt Orange Gloss but ended up really liking the Helix Mandarin Red Gloss. Plan is to wrap the...

    Thinking of wrapping my 2019 stealth performance in orange...question about chrome delete

    Have a 2019 Model 3 and still love the car but tiring of the white and seeing SO many other 3s around. Love orange and have seen some amazing wraps of the 3 in that color. I'm stuck on whether to continue the orange onto the front pillar and roof rail. I do not plan to tint the windows so don't...

    CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough

    This won't be trivial. He had two raspberry Pi going (but sounds like able to drop to 1) and I'm almost positive requires it's own cellular data connection. Not sure if can piggyback off iPhone and can't use car network.
