It seems we are getting closer to having Tesla support AirPlay (not CarPlay). This will big a good improvement in sound quality. I wonder if Ownice or T2C will have a firmware update to use it when available? https://9to5mac.com/2023/07/13/tesla-airplay-audio/

Ownice I just updated my Ownice to the latest firmware version - 2.8.12 - that came out a few days ago. I have the latest Tesla FSDb and this latest Ownice firmware version still does not fix the black screen. So will have to wait for the next update again. Not sure why Ownice cannot fix it as...

T2C and Ownice I just updated my Ownice to the latest version - 2.8.11 - that came out some days ago. I have the latest Tesla FSDb and this latest version still does not fix the black screen. So will have to wait for the next update. I did noticed looking at the Ownice device itself that it...

Yes, I updated Tesla FSDb to 11.4.3 (2023.7.15) and T2C still works and Ownice still does not work - so the same as the previous Tesla software version.

Thanks. Not sure if you have Tesla FSDb or not. My problem was because the Tesla FSDb update and related software updates. The link to the Ownice firmware above is not for a new firmware but a firmware downgrade. I was in that version when Ownice stopped working. I will wait for Ownice next...

I believe to each their own and that everyone can have a different perspectives/expectations but at the same time if all of your feedback is negative all the time then it begs the question - what are you doing here? If I had so many problems and I hated something so much I would move and never...

For those waiting for a solution for the black screen based on Tesla FSDb Version 11.4.2 (2023.7.10) software installed: - T2C just update the firmware today 06-12 and now it is working fine - no more black screen for me. - Ownice latest update from 06-07 still does not work and there is no...

I have the latest Ownice firmware version installed and have changed the Ownice settings from China to the US without any problems with the WiFi/SSID. I still have the previous problem of the black screen given the Tesla FSDb update which is unrelated to the WiFi/SSID working - still waiting for...

I think you are talking about Ownice but I just checked and the latest update that I see is 202306041508 that was release on June 4th, I do not see a new update today. I cannot see any updates for the T2C today also, the last update I got from T2C was 23041017.1508.1 which was released in April.

Today's Ownice updated did not work for me - I still have the black screen. I have FSDb 11.4.2 - Tesla Software Version 2023.7.10. After the Ownice firmware update I did a reset on the iPhone connections and Ownice, cleared Tesla browser, and rebooted Tesla. No go. So I will have to wait for...

I did not had this problem after the update today. The Ownice still connects to the iPhone through CarPlay and I can still see the 3.3.3.3 web page for updates (I also changed the WiFi settings from "China" to the "US"). The main problem is that after the Tesla Software Upgrade I got a blank...

To update the Ownice firmware - once the Ownice connects to your phone CarPlay you use your phone web browser with web address 3.3.3.3 to access the web page that allows you to update the Ownice - but the new firmware that came out today does not resolve the blank screen problem caused by the...

Just updated the Ownice to the latest firmware (today's update version) and checked - No go - still blank screen. The new firmware did not resolve the problem. I would have been surprised if they had responded so quickly with a fix but hopefully is coming soon.

That is great news Mike. The iPhone WiFi Hotspot functionality would be great to get rid of the tethered wire need. Thank you.

Yes, the Ownice has even higher resolution.

Hi Mike, thanks for providing the insight. It would be great if you could add two functionalities to Tesla Android that the Ownice has - additional resolution (e.g., more icons on the screen) and iPhone WiFi Hotspot usage in addition to the tethered solution. Thank you.

It did not impact the Tesla Android so far but since Tesla Android just had a large upgrade including some browser functionality it could be that the Ownice and T2C are using some older browser functionality that is not supported by the Tesla browser any longer. Or Tesla could be catching up to...

I just updated to FSDb 11.4.2 - tesla software version 2023.7.10 - and I am having the same problem. No resolution after clearing the browser cache or rebooting the Tesla system. I think the upgraded Tesla software has some changes to the bowser that is causing this problem. Of note, both...

Can you still see the CarPlay (iPhone Apps icons) image on the Tesla browser? If so then it did work as intended. The Bluetooth is not suppose to stay connected all the time - it is only active to establish the CarPlay connection then after that the Ownice Bluetooth disconnects. In the case...

Not sure how you had the Ownice setup but the first step before anything else is to setup your phone bluetooth configuration (before WiFi connection otherwise the Ownice SSID will not show up on the Tesla WiFi list). After phone "full" bluetooth configuration then you setup the WiFi connection...

Not sure if this was discussed previously but anyone with a Tesla Model with the bad antenna/reception location tried changing the frequency from 5GHz to 2.4GHz in the T2C settings to see if there is any improvement. All things being equal, 2.4GHz normally travels further than 5GHz. I have a...

I think that is a good idea to change the name of this thread to have all "Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices" discussions besides the Tesla Android Project that has its own thread.

The last T2C firmware update version 4.6 from April had a comment about using an additional WiFi 2.4GHz connection and it mentioned using option 6 on the WiFi settings? I do not see such option directly connecting to T2C on the 192.168.3.1 address or on the Web page using the Tesla web browser...

Ok, thank you.

You mentioned that you are automating the hotspot connection to the Ownice when you have a CarPlay connection established. How are you doing that? Are you using an App or native iOS functionality? In any case I would appreciate the details. Thank you.

I am not sure a pure cellular internet speed comparison between different members will do given that cellular coverage between individuals will vary drastically. A better comparison would be with the same individual doing a test at the same time (since a person can get different cellular speeds...

I believe when you use the T2C with the iPhone Bluetooth hotspot setting then you will have a hit on the throughput given the multiple loads on the iPhone - Cellular, WiFi (CarPlay), Bluetooth (hotspot, Tesla, etc...) connections. Nevertheless, the hit you are taking is very high. If you do...

This happened to me on two occasions for specific reasons - Once because I was driving on an area that had weak/no Cellular coverage for a long period of time. The other occasion was when I had another Bluetooth device connected to my iPhone that was creating an interference with the T2C, once I...

Yes, agree, there is definitely something wrong going on with the iPhone, specially since the wife's iPhone works with the T2C.

No luck means it did not stick to 2.4GHz and is going back to 5GHz, or, no luck it still does not work even though it sticked to 2.4GHz?

Ok, I was referring to no other CarPlay cars configured in your iPhone.

From a practical standpoint, currently there is only this solution (T2C) and the Tesla-Android solution to get CarPlay to work with the Tesla browser/screen (not counting add-on devices). The Tesla-Android is more complex and more expensive to setup than the T2C and given the problems you are...

The website below is a good source to resolve a number of problems including this issue. There are a number of pages so you need to scroll down so you can choose the other pages with additional help (i.e, 1, 2, 3). The feedback is also based on the T2C firmware version - so you should be aware...

Yes, that seems to be the best why to get the CarPlay WiFi frequencies to stick.

Ok then it seems to be your Bluetooth to CarPlay handshake transfer/connection that is not working correctly. I think on the T2C you can change what WiFi frequency the CarPlay uses - 2.4GHz vs 5GHz - you can try changing that to see if it helps. Forgot to ask but have you updated the T2C and...

Ok, give more info on the bullet below: Phone connects to T2C via bluetooth The iPhone should just connect to the T2C via bluetooth for a few seconds and then disconnect as it transfers the iPhone to T2C connection to CarPlay which is WiFi (the CarPlay does not show up as a WiFi connection -...

Is CarPlay starting on your iPhone? If it is started it shows a CarPlay symbol on your iPhone for a few seconds when it starts, it also should show that you are not connected to any WiFi (CarPlay connected using WiFi but it does not show as a WiFi connection)? If CarPlay is not starting in your...

Try the following steps (assuming you want to use the SIM appoach): 1) Delete both the T2C Bluetooth and T2C CarPlay entries on your iPhone 2) Reboot iPhone 3) Clear your Tesla Browser Cache 4) Reboot your Tesla 5) Reset to factory default the T2C 6) The factory default T2C is "Bluetooth...

Interesting, I did not use Aggressive just Average and have had good experience so far with some annoying situations but not as much as has been discussed about 11.3.4. You could be on something here and the Aggressive setting could be creating additional problems that people are experiencing.

I do not know the APN for AT&T but earlier documentation on T2C (when I used a SIM - now I only use the hotspot) stated that the only carrier in the US that needed an APN profile was T-Mobile (or carrier based on T-Mobile) and all others would not need an APN (the default factory setting for...

Ok, thank you. Changing from FSDb to Autosteer (Navigate on Auto Pilot) is changing one setting which is the same effort as changing profiles. So I was wondering what is the benefit of having different profiles just for this setting, unless you have multiple other settings changed?

Just checking but is the different profiles with different FSDb settings or different software versions?

I also do not experience any lag with T2C and have the same experience with Tesla-Android (no lag). It could be that it is a defective unit given all the problems been faced. If possible it would be a good idea to return and get a new one.

I have experienced that even if the cameras are not that dirty by cleaning all of them before test driving FSDb it has noticeably improved the drivability and disengagements. So after installing 11.3.4 I cleaned all cameras before I did the test drives which resulted in good results with few...

Notice a couple of improvements on 11.3.4 that I did not noticed on the previous versions: - Now it engages FSDb on roads without any markings/lines and it actually drives well based solely on the landscape of the sides of the road. I used 20 mph max for those roads. - If I am on a highway on...

Yes, this setting to have WiFi auto connection between Home and T2C (and vice-versa) is a major improvement. When I tested several different settings out a couple of months ago and found out this specific setting worked the best it made a world of difference on the experience of using the T2C...

In this case I am not sure there is much to be done but stay farther away from the car when you send Remote commands if you do not want to have the T2C on. As far as I remember there is no way to reduce the iPhone or the T2C/Tesla Bluetooth power/sensitivity. A probable workaround (if you are...

Try sending a Remote command from far away when the T2C is off and there is no Bluetooth connectivity to see if the Remote Command sent from WiFi or Cellular wakes up the T2C.

I think Remote commands can also be sent via the WiFi and Cellular networks since I can use Remote commands even when I am very far away from the car and out of range of the Bluetooth and even without WiFi but with Cellular.

"I cannot think of another use case to test. I know when I perform any remote management from my phone from my bedroom which is the closet room to my car in the driveway, the car will wake and the T2C will too. A bluetooth connection will be made as well. I don’t believe this is a problem...
