So instead of getting the mcu2, I decided to try mirroring my phone and get some of mcu2s features. Here’s a quick vid i did After I installed it

Installed a kit to mirror phone on MCU1

Well the first thing I did was mirror my iPhone so Apple Maps, Waze etc was better for nav. Then I started with Netflix, but i said hmm since it’s just an hdmi out what if I used an Apple TV. It’s basically just like using the iPhone but the Apple TV seemed to just load faster. You could also of course use a roku stick or firestick, I personally just like apple products.
It’s a kit by a company called Beatsonic, they’re out of Cali. You can use androids too I also have a pixel 6 pro. U just use an MHL adapter instead of apples lightning/hdmi adapater and they work the same way.
Thanks for sharing your modification. My question is, do you still have the back-up camera integrated and usable?

Interesting. Cost is $490 so that isn’t too bad. If it can do CarPlay, I would get one now.
Absolutely, what u do is hold the cruise control lever towards you for 2sec and it switches back to stock reverse camera. Whenever u want to switch to that hdmi again, u just hold for 2sec again. Very seamless

I did a search on Tesla and came up with this:
Tesla Model S and X Smartphone Mirroring Kit
Now a way to mirror your smartphone iPhone and Android including Samsung S9, iPhone X to your Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X screen is here and available at www.beatsonicusa.com

My guess is that touch screen won’t work with this kit. You will have to control it using your phone screen or Apple TV remote.

Yea all u do is turn the mirroring on first, then do your auto pilot not the other way around. I don’t have AP anyways but that’s how u do it if you do have it.
If you’re just mirroring your phone the audio comes out your car speakers by switching to phone on the Mcu. For the Apple TV you need an FM modulator. Lag may be off by like .2, it’s really unrecognizable to me and to others. There is a way to have it sync perfect though I hear.
meh... overpriced, given that they did not even bother to fix the audio sync issue by having an video delay.
I expect some Chinese Aliexpress version to make it better, and cheaper soon.
