I saw a couple of reddit threads on using a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a smart USB drive for the dashcam. I wanted to have the ability to select individual videos, rename them, and upload them to Google Drive, all straight from the browser in the car display. Check out this reddit thread: Upload...

I was driving today to run some errands, with my wife in the passenger seat. I stopped for her to drop off the laundry, and waited for her with the brake on "hold" without putting the car in P. She comes back and I drive off. About 5 minutes later I noticed that the car was no locked. I know...

I was inspired by chojn1's excellent idea for a tray in the center console. I wanted to have a tissue box in the same area and have access to it, while being able to store my sunglasses, work ID, keys and pen there. Here is what I came up with. This is the top view... I am having trouble...

I keep my UMC in the empty space on the left of the trunk that is not covered by the trunk mat. Right now the UMC sits there sticking out randomly. I would like to get a bag that fits that exact gap, and store my UMC inside it. I found this bag designed to fit a similar gap in the trunk of the...

In my Model 3 I mostly listen to music from the phone over Bluetooth. The Bluetooth interface is rather rudimentary. You don't see progress of tracks you are playing (like you see with Slacker), and you can't select playlists and tracks from the UI. The latest update (2018.18) seems to give us...

I got a visor clip where I keep my sunglasses. The problem is that I often bump into them when moving in the driver's seat, for example when I reach over to the glovebox. I am not a tall guy and I still seem to bump into them regularly, so I am thinking there has to be a better way. Any ideas?

My old car (MB B250e) used to show a progress indicator for music played over Bluetooth from my phone. The Model 3 doesn't show this. It has the icons to play/pause, skip forward and skip forward, but it lacks an indication of how far along into a track I am. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I...
