For iOS, here are the steps.

While driving (filmed by front passenger), Dashboard added to Tesla Model 3 in-car touchscreen, "scan my tesla" App ("scan my tesla" is an App that will connect to a Tesla Model S, X or Model 3 diagnostics port, and show and log hundreds of readings.) mirrored to Tesla Model 3 in-car touchscreen. TeslaMirror app with iPhone 12 Pro Max , audio connected to Tesla Model 3 by Bluetooth. Tesla Model 3 is connected to iPhone 12 Pro Max's Personal Hotspot. App Mirroring is working.

This is the iOS/iPhone TeslaMirror version. Android version TeslaMirror is also available.
"scan my tesla" App comes with both iOS and Android version too. In this video, it is iOS version.

For Dashboard support in Tesla in-car touchscreen, hardware and software needed
1 TeslaMirror iOS App
2 "scan my tesla" iOS App
3 OBD2 Diagnosis cable for Tesla (hardware)
4 OBDLink MX+ (hardware)
5 Tesla car with MCU2 support

Interesting approach, using in-car browser to link to web page served from phone.

Don't the Tesla Built-in Web browser of the central Display get disabled when driving?

Web browser is always available, no matter the drive mode. I've used the browser with waze for 5.5 years, mostly works, and I have an old MCU1 car!

You are correct, the browser is available but the WiFi is turned off. So I wonder how you can access the Internet?

I *think* I've heard people say that once you're in Drive, you can reconnect wifi again. I believe people that don't want to pay premium data do this on a regular basis...

Wow, is that the only OBD2 link hardware that works with IOS? I have the one that I bought with my Android version and would like to switch to IOS so I don't have to lug along an android phone just to use the app...

Thanks.

When you shift a Tesla into drive, the car drops existing WIFI connections and switches to 4g LTE cell network (3g in my case).
You can then immediately choose WIFI and the car will stay connected to the WIFI as long as it's in range, and that can be for the entire drive if you use a hotspot feature on your phone to provide WIFI to the Tesla.

Need to check with scan my Tesla developer. It was said other options are available for iOS customer. However, I am not very sure of it. I only used this kind of OBD2 hardware so far. It should be the most stable as far as I knew.

The better steps for using Wi-Fi during drive:
1 park the car
2 change it into Drive mode
3 the Wi-Fi will be disconnected now
4 manually start the Wi-Fi connection to iPhone or Android hotspot
5 drive the car, and if the Wi-Fi is still needed, do not put the cat into Park mode
