sorry you are having issues. it can work very well. I use it daily. I have same carlinkit dongle model. I use it wireless and wired without issue. Wired mode is less finicky though But not too much.

i have theories and will type it up later when on computer. my rushed iPad type info will be horrible.
I got the PLEX app running and videos are quite choppy from PLEX.. gonna try Kodi laterHardware decode/encode is the key to making the virtual display feel like a directly HDMI monitor to the Pi. All the performance bottleneck is on the Pi side now, if Tesla doesn't break the browser or add other cpu hungry features to MCU 2 cars we are good to go. Even with things like gaming on Tesla Android in the full screen mode when parked
I think you could use any hotspot device that has an Ethernet port
Don't know how big of a hill that would be to climb, but it would be nice to see just to see the Carlinkit people get cut out of future sales since they're essentially ripping off the developer's system.
Great idea. It might be best to put the suggestion in the anroid-tesla project's GitHub discussion forum and classify it as an idea category. Perhaps Michael has a way to convert those to actionable feature requests for tracking purposes if the idea seems good/possible etc.@mgapinski - Any chance we can get a vertical display for us "Legacy S/X" folks?
I did a mock up and the aspect ratio is an almost identical match.

. It then asks if I want to start wireless CarPlay and I say yes. After this I never use the bluetooth menu to connect to that device. You will now see an entry for the carlinkit in your phone's CarPlay settings.^ this is good advice.
When the Carlinkit dongle is connected to the Pi the app called AutoKit will launch. CarPlay starts when your phone connects. When you say "Carlinkit disconnects" what do you mean? The AutoKit app is still running but it has a message to connect the product (plug in the dongle)?
When I say that carlinkit was disconnecting as soon as carplay came up on the tesla, I meant that the bluetooth connection for AutoKit-9078 on my phone would go right to "Not Connected" and the audio would only play through the phone.
Do you mean connect it via Bluetooth to AutoKit-9078?
Is that how you're providing Internet connectivity instead of using the USB LTE modem?
No.. I get no internet activity no matter what I do.
I have the same travel router and the Alcatel IK41 works fine with my PC however if I plug the ethernet into the PI it does not work, the lights on the plug flash but does not allow the internet connection, do I need to change any setting to enable the ethernet to work?

@will7171 I would not buy the product. It is very likely tesla will alter the car browser code at some point which will prevent the device you mention & all browser based solutions from working. It might be in 6 months, a year or two, maybe never if we are all lucky. At least when the ability to view in browser is gone people who use the free open source methodology can sell the pi, use it for something else, donate hardware to schools or other good charity. The device you mention & similar clones will end up in the trashcan, stay in a garbage dump and have no useful second life.
