    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...

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

    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.

    CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough

    I completely agree with everything you said and these are the reasons why I have looked at the same aftermarket options as you. I even went so far as to purchase an 11" digital rearview mirror with wireless CarPlay built in. That one had WAY too many limitations so returned in 24 hours. I use...

    Any videos/guides on running wire for a rear camera right next to where current one is? For digital rearview mirror

    Chased a few posts on Reddit to find that i1 Tesla did this. Not the best video to guide installation but answered my question about the rear camera location -

    Any videos/guides on running wire for a rear camera right next to where current one is? For digital rearview mirror

    Thanks Ray I found videos for the aftermarket power trunk and figured I could follow most of that to get the single wire through the right black plastic tubing (sorry - don't know proper name for that) and wondered if there was any play in the trunk release button to sneak the wire under/through...

    Any videos/guides on running wire for a rear camera right next to where current one is? For digital rearview mirror

    Bought my son the Wolfbox Mirror DashCam for his new Honda Civic. It is a digital mirror that has a front camera built in and a long cable for a rear camera. The mirror shows the live feed from the rear camera. Decided to try it out in my 2019 model 3 since I have never liked the rearview...

    Looks like a Firmware update may have fixed this: 9. Fix the echo problem If you use localhost make a phone call and another side can not hear you. Change the channel to handset for phone module or loundspeaker. Link from Hansshow forum (note: I can't tell if this is for the 9" Linux version...

    Something my wife and I hacked together this week- an Android app that acts as an instrument cluster

    Curious if anyone has tried using CANdash in split screen with AutoKit.apk to allow for speed/blind spot monitoring plus wireless Apple CarPlay. What draws me to CANdash is the blind spot monitor first and foremost as it does a great job of leveraging the car's internal sensors (I have a 2019...

    Would love to hear an update on how you like this setup. Seriously considering going this route myself. Only thing I wished it could do was show left/right blind spot alerts like the Tesla CANdash setup.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

    Just downloaded 2019.40.50.1 and followed directions to enable text on my iPhone 11 Pro. Texts are now read to me which is great (though it appears you need to tap the screen to have them read). However, when I click 'reply'. the screen is stuck on listening and is not taking dictation. The mic...

    MASTER THREAD: Rear view camera image goes black [2019-2020]

    Just had this happen to me today as well. First time. Nothing helped. Tried turning off the Sentry and Music USB SSD drives. Luckily, when I got home, I received an update alert for 2019.40.50.1 and that fixed the camera!

    Okay to have electric radiant heat and Tesla charger on same 240V/20A circuit?

    Appreciate that doghouse. The run is long (and through a finished basement ceiling) and I was quoted $1,000 before I got the Tesla and was worried a 120V outlet would not be sufficient. As the 120V has served me fairly well, I was okay with keeping it. The realization that I might be able to...

    Okay to have electric radiant heat and Tesla charger on same 240V/20A circuit?

    Thanks everyone. We actually got a plug-in under rug warmer to try out. if that works, I could dedicate the 240V/20A circuit for the car. Would you then just use a 6-20 outlet? Or, if wiring okay and room in panel, up to 14-30?

    Okay to have electric radiant heat and Tesla charger on same 240V/20A circuit?

    I've read some great posts on here about mobile connectors and thought I would run an idea by you. We currently have electric baseboard heat in our finished mudroom that runs off a 240V/20A circuit (per breaker). No idea on wiring used. My wife hates the baseboard since shoes put too close to...
