Moderator comment - thread renamed for clarity from "Apple CarPlay"

If anyone misses CarPlay when they moved to Tesla and is looking for a potential solution, saw this earlier...

Does it work for android auto?

"Audio will be piped out of the Intellidash's own speakers unless you connect an auxiliary audio cable from the Intellidash+ to your car's audio system."

That would be an issue in a Tesla I would think.

from the linked article:


Outside of CarPlay
Besides CarPlay, there are several other features relevant to the Intellidash+.

Intellidash+ supports Android Auto. If you have a compatible Android handset you can connect it the same way and use Android's in-car system rather than Apple's. This is great if you have another family member who may use the system too.

Lacking the ability to use the Tesla’s speakers is going to be a major issue for this system in our cars.
I think this one has the most promise in Tesla but I’m still suspect on audio, AC ducting, and other things. Can’t wait for the real world reviews and very hopeful.

Not for me. I’m happy with the screen in the middle and the standard functionality of this side of things.
Good to see options emerging though.

Shame it can't do bluetooth out on the sound... that'd solve that one.
