I think this one is deserving of its own discussion rather than being lost in another thread about a specific Hansshow model.
This is an inexpensive display and the largest steering wheel mount that won’t get blocked by the wheel at 8”. There is no camera option.
I installed this in my 2018 Model 3 after returning my Hansshow F68 because I wanted a unit with a built-in speaker. I had previously given up on using a wireless adapter as well.
My goal was to not need my phone to have CarPlay/Waze just be there automatically when I get in the car and not interfere with the use of the Tesla screen and use of the audio apps.
This fits the bill perfectly.
Best of all it’s available on Amazon:
CarThree 8 Inch Head Up Display for Tesla Model 3 2017-2023 Model Y 2019-2023 with Wireless Apple Carplay & Wireless Android Auto Bluetooth WiFi Navigation Power Speed IPS HD Touchscreen
My thoughts after some night and day use:
- Built in speaker(s) that sounds better than the F68.
- Angle of the screen matches the Tesla screen so looks more stock
- Pedestal of the screen to the steering wheel mount allows air flow
- Wider/bigger display offers easier reach around on the left side of the steering wheel for CarPlay side icons and plenty of room for split screen if you don’t want full screen CarPlay
- WiFi connectivity. I Instantly connected to my phones hotspot and downloaded an update
- Can superimpose a tiny speedometer on top of Carplay (see photo, shows 0)
- Superimposes a car on top of CarPlay when door open etc with selectable car color
- Automatically connects to CarPlay for 100% Waze use with built-in speaker
- Just a single thin cable wire to run from the screen to the harness by the passenger footwell
- If you want some car info displayed, this is wide enough to not use CarPlay in full screen and have some car info on the right side
- Screen is not too bright like the F68 was…doesn’t have that glow…matches Tesla screen well
- More subtle, but something that bothered me about previous one I had and you don’t see mentioned about these…is that the reflection in the windshield at night is almost imperceptible. Probably improved due to angle of the display and the fact that it is not as bright…anyway, the annoying distraction is gone
- Offers steering wheel controls as well.
Basically this is a seamless integration for me. Waze is just there now automatically 100% of the time while use of my Tesla is unchanged.
