I ordered one guess we will see if it ships. Paid with Paypal so worse case ill just open a dispute with Paypal and get my money back!

I just got a PayPal email that the package was delivered on the 14th but I paid for it on the 15th and of course nothing in the mail. Did you get something similar?

I ordered one too.
It is the same box BearBu uses in his camera kit.
Since BearBu is not responding to my requests for help with the brand new switcher he sent me that is not working. I have tried it on 2 other cars, no joy. I have sent him several emails, and no response, so be careful with BearBu, unless something is going on with his life, not responding is unacceptable.

I totally agree, he has gone way over board in helping people including me last year, when he first started this task. thats why I said
"unless something is going on with his life"

@Chaserr, I wasn't referring to any website. I am just talking about BearBu. I don't know if he has anything to do with any website.

And I agree with @StarLog. BearBu has gone out of his way and extended himself helping people.

The website selling Bearbu's adapter for $100 is less than a month old. It's probably a scam, Bearbu developed it in a thread here so we know he came up with all of it and this isn't some cheaper source. It's probably a fly by night site with deals too good to be true. Bearbu's parts alone probably cost more than $100.

@BearBu is a standup guy and been here a long time. I suspect there's valid reasons for his absence. Please give him time. I predict he will reach out or post here.

Thanks for tagging me as I don't log into the forum so often. Been very busy with other projects and remoting communicate with my china office people for project details (as I still cannot go to my china office).

I try to answer all the stuff here:
- The $99 selling website is not mine , this is very interesting that the hardware cost is way more than US$99. I hope people won't get cheated.
- @StarLog I have sent your defected to my china office for testing on Pre-AP, AP1 to AP3 LHD, also I have tested on my RHD AP1 too, the box is working fine, I guess there is something happens on your CAN6 channel. I will try to reply your email by Friday. Sorry, don't mean to be irresponsible

Hey @BearBu thank you for the replies. I've been lovingly using the product for a couple of years almost now but I always had ups and downs. When I first got it I had iPhone 7 which always had mirroring connection fails which I thought were of hdmi adapter first. Turns out it was the phone's processing power. Then I tried to have a setup of amazon firestick tv in the car. That couldn't have Tesla bluetooth as audio out so I had to also carry around a Bluetooth speaker. Also usb nor 12V lighter socket to high amperage USB adapter could keep the firestick TV alive and it would constantly crash.

Now I have iPhone 11 pro and wanted to give it another try. This time connection of video is stable but Youtube constantly switches between full screen airplay vs. actual iPhone screen airplay and during those switching audio always turns back to HDMI out. Then I have to go to airplay settings and set audio out as iPhone again. This happens like every 5 minutes. Quite tiring. Any suggestions for a workaround? (LHD AP2.0)

@BearBu
thanks for the support, I am sadly believing the $99 device is a scam, as they are not responding to my request to send it back to them.
I agree Tommy, my car is broken. so today I am upgrading to a 2021 Model Y

I never even got anything. Funny enough they sent me tracking info that said the item was delivered a day before I even made the purchase. My CC company already refunded me so for anyone else.

DO NOT buy it from the $99 link posted.
