Installed and works. I bent two of the metal receptacles which the plastic clips of interior trim pop in to. This prevented the interior trim from fitting flush. I was able to easily remove the bent receptacles. Now The interior trim snapped in to place and was not loose despite two clips not being fit in to a receptacle. If I wanted, I could buy a few of the metal receptacles and add them back.
Were these the top ones? I had the outer top ones bend out while pulling trim but was able to use a small screwdriver tip and push those little wings back flush before putting the trim back on. The smaller the better as you need it to be the size only of the bent part but be able to flex back in on the gaps (push lower inside to then come back to flush).
Good tip for others who will be installing soon. One bent receptacle was outer top and second was a bottom clip. I’ll try bending mine in to shape for a future revisit of my installation.
the scary part here is the 2nd highlighted paragraph... if Tesla is hit by a cyber attack and your car is bricked... it's not covered.
Some people reported issues using usb-c hub with TParts data module. Here is a success story. I used a premium 5 in 1 Anker usb-c hub without issues. I plugged it in. Inserted a Xbox controller (wired powerA brand)in one usb-a and a flash drive in the other usb-a. In my second usb-c port I plugged in another powerA xbox controller using a usb-a to usb-c converter. I played the racing game in two player mode. Attached are photos with model # of usb-c hub.

the day I took delivery I used black electrical tape on top of a paper circle. It's just too creepy to think about someone getting their kicks out of watching you doing things in your car with your significant other.Yep, I checked and see that Tparts sells it for $2 as a separate item...
Privacy slide cover
I guess you are supposed to install the privacy cover first so Tesla won't see you installing the console USB data module.
Upon further looking into this issue, I found that the TParts data module is compatible with USB hubs. The issue or challenge is the dual port USB hubs and the design or layout of the TParts data module in relation to the Tesla USB panel it attaches to. The USB ports of the TParts data module do not allow a dual port USB hub to seat or attach well enough into the module when attached to the Tesla console panel. Attached are pictures I took of the TParts data module with and without the exterior console panel attached. Based on my observation, without the panel attached both power and data function. However, with the panel attached, either only power will function or neither power nor data will fuction, as again the ports on the Jowua hub in the picture aren't permitted to seat well enough from the TParts module with the panel attached to provide power or data.
I see you have the 8bitdo wireless adapter attached, have you gotten it to work? I tried getting it to work and the adapter lights up but it won't connect to my xbox or switch controller for the life of me. It also doesn't matter...I guess. Since none of the games included have controller compatibility but I'm wrong on that front.
I know a local guy that parts out Tesla's after they'd been salvaged. It's the same way I was able to order the lumbar module and seat controller to do that retrofit. They're also listed on eBay every so often but sell out pretty quickly. This is the part #1755200-00-B.
No, I wasn't able to get the 8bitdo wireless adapter to function with Tesla Arcade and I had it paired to a 8bitdo Pro 2 controller. However, I did find that these controllers, which I used on my previous Model 3 work flawlessly
Damn, thank you for all the information! You're really putting in a lot of work here. I'll keep you posted if the OEM module works with the 8bitdo adapters.
I have the 8bitdo adapter plugged in to a hub in the glovebox, and have had no issues connecting my Xbox wirelessly. You do have to make sure it is for an Xbox One and not the newer one for the Xbox Series X/S though. It works great with Sky Force, haven't tried with anything else though.
Yeah, I tested that out and it worked but my goal here is to run data through the module we purchased hahaha. Otherwise, I would have never purchased this thing.
Make sense, my goal was only to get the wireless controller working without the need to disconnect and reconnect the flash drive. I am worried that if I had the module sticking out of those USB's I would manage to forget and break it off.
