CarPlay workaround
- Thread starter verdee

I have the Android "version", TeslAA. I had to uninstall it until it progresses much further. If you have issues with Tesla's own programming flaws, this seems more clunky and sometimes offered basic functionality, while taking over my phone's connections even when not connected. Doesn't cost much to try, if you want to spend a bunch of time debugging the code and the connections. Android Auto now works in Tesla vehicles through the browser

I have a Pi3 sitting around not doing anything, so if the guy makes this available on GitHub I’ll give it a go. Tbh I don’t have massively high hopes for its functionality, given it uses the Tesla browser. But I also don’t miss CarPlay much.
Now, if he can get my heated seat buttons back …

S3XY buttons says it has seat controls coming soon.
S3XY Buttons
The button free interior of your Model 3 & Y is simple, clean, and, very occasionally, a tad annoying! There's so much you can do via the screen, but sometimes, don't you wish you actually had a glovebox button? Or a button to quickly turn on all your interior lights? Well, want no more....we...

Their facebook actually says rear heated seats can be controlled now.
Yes, I found this, Tesla is considering adopting Apple’s AirPlay to improve audio quality.
However, it appears that it is not working so far...
But I discovered that an Apple Music converter works as well. I use DumpMedia to download my whole Apple Music library and then play the songs from a USB drive.

Site says coming soon
Though I could have sworn I saw someone with them installed in a S refresh

There's no reason it wouldn't work in the S refresh. Overlap in canbus messages and computer system.
Maybe just the harness has a different pinout, which could be adapted.

Tesla-android's performance via Tesla web browser is very good right now. However you need to use a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB or more. Some say 2GB is enough if all you want to do is CarPlay (the system does more) but official recommendation is 4GB. Each release has shown improvements but right now, it's very good. The visual display is excellent too, no compression artifacts or blurriness. In fact, you can set the resolution very high and it is still very responsive. A new software update should be out in a few weeks which uses hardware based gpu image decoding in the mix. I've been using Tesla-android everyday for months now. Having CarPlay really completes the Tesla...I mean...who wouldn't want to continue a pod cast or music from the last point it was paused? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Smart playlists?

I'd suggest posting in the official Tesla-android Reddit community. Perhaps a legacy s owner can chime in. Seem this forum is not allowing links to reddit. Go to reddit and search for teslaandroid community.
