Anyone seen this dash device?

That looks good.

I know of the Hansshow device, looks similar, has most of those things, plus HUD can be added. This brand might be Autonavigo

Ticks a lot of the boxes for me, like Apple Car Play Instrument Display LCD For Tesla Model 3/ Model Y Compatible With Apple Carplay & Android Auto or

I’ve read many horrible reviews about most of the ACP/AA solutions available out there. The Hanshow looked the best, but uses its own speaker rather than BT, and look to be a complicated install.

This looks like the best option yet. However, I see two problems with it. First, it’s probably difficult (and dangerous) to be using a touchscreen behind the steering wheel. Next, I can’t see how it doesn’t block airflow.

Since I’d be using it strictly for CarPlay and not as a “secondary” instrument cluster, if this device was available for a clean installation over/in front of the dual phone chargers on the refreshed MY, that would be perfect. I rarely use those chargers, since they are both inconvenient to look at or reach (with even a large phone screen) while driving. The size and aspect ratio of this screen would be both visible and reachable in that spot and would sit right under the Tesla’s touchscreen. As for how I charge my phone, I have this rock solid and versatile (but pricey) holder/charger installed:

It does look nice. Seems to be available here: Instrument Display LCD For Tesla Model 3/ Model Y Compatible With Apple Carplay & Android Auto
One note - the online shop says it is wired AA only, though it does wireless ACP. So you'd need to plug your phone into the USB-C port on the side which would rule it out for me.

Looks good but it’s the usual story - double the price of anything for a Tesla, the owners can afford it (or are willing to pay crazy high prices for accessories).

I don't think a redundant display is actually that useful. Moreover, no idea what else these Chinese dashes might be doing to the car and the data.

can you make an iphone go into carplay mode so you can just use your phone in a vent mount (...if you had a vent... er so a something else mount?

The bigger worry is that a future Tesla software upgrade changes the data/protocol and they all stop working.

Unfortunately not. A shame otherwise simply mounting the phone would be an adequate solution.

My understanding is that this feature is being (has been?) removed from recent Android Auto versions too.

Understandable really considering the whole point is so you don't use your phone whist driving and you have a larger screen to view/operate.

Getting CarPlay functionality would be the reason why I would consider this - you wouldn't actually need to connect it into the vehicle's system then, or have to worry about Tesla making an update and bricking it. Just power and bluetooth connectivity.

I quite like the idea of the guy doing the raspberry pi one that runs carplay through your browser. I might try that one if performance is ok

 

[charltones]

Did anyone try this? TeslAA - Android Auto over Tesla Browser - Apps on Google Play
It is AA only, but no raspberry pi required

Edit: yes - TESLAA - Android Auto for Tesla App
