Oh, wait …

I bought it about a year ago at Autozone. I believe they had it in stock then

As a matter of fact, I did. #796 is filling the roadster-shaped hole in my garage :) Re radio options, I found a single DIN car play unit that I’m planning on installing when I get round to it - so probably next year …

I doubt the service center would install a 3rd part product, but it can’t hurt to ask. I didn’t find it too difficult, but it’s important to get the service manual from Tesla (it’s free on their website now) to understand the dash disassembly.

Yes, the screen has up/down buttons on the left side, but no rotating knob. I was quite close to installing a solution when my roadster was wrecked in an accident so I never finished the project. I did the install myself, it took me a full weekend, including installing a backup camera and...

Mine cleared customs after 2-3 days and were delivered the next day (to my home in LA).

I’m in the same boat. I have a Model 3P and the Roadster, and currently they share one HPWC (The new Tesla wall charger for model S and up). I use Henry Sharp’s CAN SR adapter to charge the Roadster from the wall charger. I alternate which I plug in so that I keep them both close to fully...

Congratulations on your purchase - looking forward to seeing pictures! I installed a Pioneer unit (7600 NEX) with a floating 9” screen. It can be adjusted so it doesn’t block any of the vents or controls in a 2008 Roadster. I think I had to do some splicing of the harness, but nothing crazy...

Good luck. On mine it was also affecting only 1 of the buttons - I think it was because of the angle of where on the key fob housing you press on it

Slightly off topic, but if you want the floating screen in a 1.5 I recommend the Pioneer NEX 7800 - the screen can be mounted lower so it doesn’t block the center vents.

A very long shot, but it sounds similar to what I experienced with mine a while back. I took it apart and found (1) lint/dust under the buttons and (2) that the battery would lose contact when the key housing warps slightly under pressure. For the latter part I fixed it by ever so slightly...

The road runner always gets away if I remember correctly, no? (it’s been a while ….) But seriously, glad to hear you were able to get it fixed! I once had to wait 3 months to get a replacement hood - no fun.

I'd agree with @slcasner - sounds like a switch pack fault. The switch pack sits behind the instrument cluster. For access you need to remove pretty much all the dash panels (side waterfalls, airbag cover (which requires new pins to reattach), center vent cover, instrument cluster hood...

Thank you Carl - I’ll definitely check with them. Would be great if we can get it to you before the battery goes flat. Also happy to talk on the phone and give you more detail on the damages. Sending a DM

Thank you for the pointer - I just ordered it from FastTech!
