Yeah I tried that. It just crashes the app for me. I figured it was to return to the car settings (if it were on a regular head unit)

Ok I powered up my kindle / carlinkit setup. That gray button did not take me to settings like I thought, it just caused the screen to become solid black and I had to quit & run autokit again. I have upgraded to the latest versions of autokit and kindle OS. Only way I could return to settings was to disconnect the phone from carlinkit dongle (mine is wired) or turn off CarPlay connection from phone. Then autokit returned to the screen where I could select settings. By coincidence, I’m selling the kindle tomorrow to a friend.

On your iPhone’s Bluetooth connection try altering the connection type to car stereo or try speaker or the “other” option.

I know I know. I just keep coming back to the fact that I'd have to buy a dongle. I want someone to use it for a month and let me know how they got on!New release on the Raspberry Pi system

I do not think anyone was too impressed with the android device, carlinkit, autokit setup in a tesla. Myself and timeshifter ultimately got a 9” linux based hansshow or similar device. I find it to be stress free but does tempt me to get a yoke steering wheel in the future so screen is not behind steering wheel.
The pi based option does interest me but i will wait for a bit to see how it matures.

I’m starting the Tesla Android project from Gapinski this week. I already have the 2 Raspberry Pis and am waiting for the other hardware. Seems straightforward and uses the existing screen. We’ll see.

Oh yes, do please report back.
I took a trip to Liverpool with CarPlay on an Android tablet and dismantled it by the first stop at Marks and Spencers. It's not worth it Imo. Shame though.
Will wait for better solution.
Does the pi do the WiFi hotspot and the car connects to it every time? Why not use my phone hotspot to save me getting an LTE modem?
Just ordered a Pi 4 8GB.
I believe that's correct, however...
The developer is moving quickly and you may be able to do that soon
if he gets this down to 1 raspberry pi and no LTE i will likely give it a shot
also.. its lame we have to pay $10 / month for LTE in the car but the car won't share out the connection.. that would simplify things even more and probably wouldnt even need a cell phone then

There’s a Pi locator website that will send notices via Telegram when they’re in stock. They usually only last a few minutes.
I’m on my phone right now, I’ll post a link later.
You can find them on eBay for a premium.
Here it is
Sorry, but I can't find how to get notifications set up with Signal. They have Twitter notifications available, maybe they're not doing Signal anymore. Anyway, if you want to buy a Pi for the normal price you're going to need to be notified when a site gets stock.

I got mine, so now i can share my secret lol. I used that Rpi Locator website then I googled text message notifications for RSS feed(I used Zapier). Set the parameters to Rpi4 and US region then every time it updated that site it texted me ”Rpi Locator“. Don’t remember the Site. FYI I tried the 2 board set up with 4gb and 2gb Rpi 4’s but i would just shoot for an 8gb, the memory bogged down pretty fast.Here it is
