Model S manually tilted screen - fixed

I have heard power is available on the connector to the phone charger tray. Does anyone know for sure what pins ?

And updates on this project? Guessing it didn’t work…

Travel schedule has been bad. I will complete the project this weekend. It will 100% work ! and I will definitely report if it does not as well.

Okay, I was able to complete the job and am quite pleased with it. I did it because it could be done but it was a lot of work to mount the switches etc. The good news is that it is ready if someone figures out how to get it working via the touch screen. Attached are some pictures and a final install video as ‘proof of operation’. There is an ideal power tap at the plug for the phone charging tray.

I am trying to figure out how to post a couple of videos of it working but no joy so far

Nice! How far out from the dash can you tilt the screen toward the driver? More than 3”? Does moving the screen require use of both bottons/motors?

Here are some videos of it working on my lap and then installed. So, yes I can go considerably more than 3" and you do have to jockey both switches to position it. I am sure the logic in the car has to do that. If you want to tilt towards the driver, you pop the screen out about 1/2" on the left side and then take the right side out to where you want it. If the left side starts to make contact with the trim, you can easily see it and just bring it out a bit more. To take it flat, bring the right side all the way back in and then tuck the 1/2" on the left side back in.

The thing I really like is that it is future (dreaming) enabled such that if it was figured out how to enable in the car, the two brown plugs are right there and could plug into the motors and it would be done. For now, it is massively better than nothing !

PS : I am not going to write a 'how to' for the project however I will provide tech support and discussions on a PM basis to anyone interested so just PM me if you want to know more.
