    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    The wifi going unavailable or no IP is always a Carplay failure. One thing you can do is turn off the network detection. This will stop the unit from rebooting constantly when it can't get wifi. Instructions from the vendor: This was a recent change I requested, after I noticed the wifi would...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Make sure your phone wifi is not attached to the T2C. If you are, then your phone Internet access goes Wifi to T2C -> Bluetooth to Phone -> Cellular instead of directly Cellular. You need to "forget" the autokit wifi on your phone

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I've had no problem getting responses, and they've pushed out two updates based on problems I've found. I rate their support quite high compared to most non-US amazon sellers. They're in China, so you likely have zero overlap with their working day. The people I've been chatting with English...

    Tesla to add the ability to Charge EV with excess solar

    You set a charge max separately for the scheduled charging. It observes when you've reached this and stops the charging. Your charge setpoint isn't changed. Since you cannot disabled scheduled charging in Tesla app, if Chargepoint isn't working your Tesla will charge at the scheduled time. The...

    Tesla to add the ability to Charge EV with excess solar

    Research on the Drive on Sunshine feature has confirmed this was someone's theoritical design. The feature isn't even on the roadmap at Tesla. If you want an app that can do this today, check out ChargeHQ. I found this from some old threads here and love it. Actually, ChargeHQ has the same...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I also purchased this device. On install it seems to work just fine. I'm having intermittent success when I return to the car, but if I power cycle the unit it always works afterward. Going to keep an eye on this - might need to do something about power on/off like @jerome8283 mentioned.

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    I've created a new thread for the T2C so that we can stop crimping in on this thread https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/carlink-t2c-wireless-carplay-kit-for-tesla.293457/

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    Discussion of the T2C solution seems to have taken over the thread named "CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski". Someone suggested that people get their own room thread :D So I'm going to recap what seems to be the critical points in that mixed-thread by @jerome8283 and @EMEV The...

    What is the difference between Tow Hitch ($1000) and Tow Package ($1300) on Model Y

    🤷‍♀️ they are not complex products, one is probably as good as another. In today's environment there are many importers from the same Chinese manufacturer. Just make sure the reviews indicate the magnet is strong.

    Broke the ice

    Every one that I have personally been was asked to look at was either a hidden/recessed 5-20, a 6-20, a 10-30P, or a 14-50. Maybe a 6-50 or two in there, I don't recall. It's always a friend who had a major appliance stop working suddenly. Correlate your local fire departments reports of fire...

    Broke the ice

    I'm just curious... by what qualifier do you come to this conclusion? Is this theory, or are you speaking from personal experience? My own personal experience: every time someone has had an electrical failure I was looked into, it was a cheap wall socket that flamed out. It wasn't on plug in or...

    Broke the ice

    Zero dispute with quality difference. See my own post about this :) I was simply objecting to the original, unqualified statement that all 14-50s are cheap and not made to be replaced. You see $14 for cheap ones? Wow. Cheap ones are $9, industrial quality Eaton/etc can be had for $14/$15 at...

    Broke the ice

    When you are buying electrical parts, never, EVER purchase anything other that industrial grade. Seriously, there is industrial grade and then there is CRAP. With some things you can get away with crap, but electrical? Ask yourself, do you mind if this thing you're attaching it to burns down...

    Broke the ice

    Likewise, I had a 40amp circuit left over from my previous Level 2 CCS charger, and not enough capacity on my garage subpanel to add 60 amps. I will eventually upgrade that panel, but for now I installed the Wall Connector and configured it as 40amps. it Just Works. Car charges at 32amp rate...

    Broke the ice

    Um... from where did you get that impression? I have never seen this statement, I never heard this when I studied for my electrical cert, nor can I quickly find verification of this. If you go to any auto stop, any wheel shop, any racetrack, and rv park, there are 14-50s on every wall getting...

    Need help on a question on fitting 2 bikes in the Model Y

    After doing a lot of research it was clear that people love the Kuat and QuickrStuff, and for 3-4 bikes or e-bikes you might want something that solid. But for 2 small street bikes they seemed like overkill, and I wanted something that was easy to remove. I got this Vibrelli 2-bike hitch rack...

    Homelink module: garage door closed on the car

    THIS ^^^^ To make it really clear, when my garage door is closing I can stick my hand underneath it, unsupported, and succeed in making it reverse back with unsupported arm strength alone -- and not a lot of it. If your door ignores pressure resistance enough to do this much damage it could kill...

    Vehicle fraudulently transferred out of account without permission

    easy ...and illegal. You can be ticketed for doing so. (very unlikely unless your car is involved in an accident, but possible) VINs are usually sequential. They are not intended to be unguessable numbers.
