I finally installed my HDMI Interface kit in my classic 2013 Model S. The whole "kit" includes: HDMI Interface box CAN Bus decoder HDMI -> HDMI + Audio cable FM transmitter Extra power cable (12V, 2A fused) AppleTV 4K The HDMI interface and CAN Bus decoder are mounted inside the dash (the...

I examined the actual logs this morning and found that at 21:01 CEST the car started being unavailable consistently and it was only 30 min later the status changed to offline. So, the OpenVPN appears to have been turned off at noon PST exactly. Thought it might be worthwhile to correct my...

Well, at exactly 21:32 CEST my car went offline and is no longer reachable though the APP. I went to the car and the connectivity indicator showed full strength 3G connection. Spotify works just fine. Google maps are loading (also places that were not in the cache), traffic data is available...

It won't be long now before we find out what happens (if anything) on May 1st. I received this friendly reminder on the APP this morning: I will wait and see what happens. I guess if connected services are lost and I find it too annoying I could always arrange for a SeC visit to get the...

I am still on v8.1 and have not made up my mind about updating before the deadline. Having mixed feelings with the latest version (some features I would like, some not so much) I would absolutely hate being “crippled” by chargegate even though I rarely supercharge. The occasional family road...

Got an interesting message on my MCU when I was about to leave home today. I have never seen this before, I guess Tesla really wants me to update. Am still on v8.1 without Wifi connection since July and having “only” a 3G modem.

I'll try to summarize some of the forced update cases. We already have some cases where updates were forced on cars that already had the update downloaded and ready to install, but with others a download over LTE and automatic install was triggered. The question is if this could also happen for...

@swegman: Does your MCU have a 3G or 4G (LTE) modem installed? Electroman should have LTE with AP2.

I was wondering if 3G vs. LTE makes a difference in terms of receiving updates. Up until this summer I had my car connected to my WiFi network. During spring I was bombarded with new update notifications. At times there were 4 or 5 new updates a week and a few days even saw 2 updates on a single...

Question to those who got the update forced upon them: Was the update already downloaded to the car (yellow clock icon) and ready for installation? Or was the update downloaded (notification on APP) and then installed right away (meaning you had no yellow clock icon when you left the car and...

Thanks @Akikiki and @BearBu for the additional information. With this I was able to find the backup camera cable. It was tugged in behind the carpet near the top of the dead pedal. Once I looked that far to the front it was easy to find. I could pull out the cable a pretty decent amount so...

As mentioned in my post I actually also looked at the driver side foot well. No joy. The installation video shows a AP1 or newer car which apparently has different cabling. I.e. I am missing that massive ground connection just below the upper clip location for the door sill. Also, my cales and...

@BearBu, I just received my HDMI kit but need some help with the installation. More specifically, finding the backup camera cable. I do have a 2013 Model S, so it´s pre-AP. According to the installation documentation I should find two cables with blue connectors in the passenger side foot well...

I had my LCD replaced earlier this summer due to a vertical line of dead pixels which suddenly appeared. The SeC told me that for some cars it would not be possible to simply replace the LCD but it would require to replace the entire MCU. When replacing the MCU it would be replaced with a...

Just use the “keep climate on” mode and set the temperature to low. This should do the trick. This is found right next to “dog mode”.
