From Abstract Ocean for one of their products:
They say LFP, but they really mean 4680. So you need a different cable to connect in the right A pillar area. (They have a video showing it.)

Thanks!
So...any accessories that relied on connecting to the OBD/CAN data bus in the prior location aren't going to work. That's what happened to me today for this category of mini in-vent display:
In addition to getting rid of the old connector, I believe they also changed the type of connector in the passenger A pillar. I think the old connector was 26-pin and new connector is 20-pin....that means any accessories that relied on the prior connector type in the passenger A pillar may also not work unless the product vendor changes the connector, as Abstract Ocean is indicating for the S3XY buttons.
Here's one example of a display that relies on the old A pillar connector, but there are several products with bigger screens based on the old connector.

If anyone knows which displays are compatible with the Austin 2023 MY AWD 4680 pack, let me know!
Yes, I installed the @TSportline display in our Austin 4680! Also installed their display tilt hardware. They have several versions/sizes of both the display and display hardware!Thanks!

The wiring on your version of the car is significantly different from those that came before it. This thread has photos of the wiring at the passenger A pillar (right side, passenger feet, by the door). I posted it hoping some forum experts will identify which connectors are used for which accessories. Here's the link:

What I meant to say is wiring on your car is significantly different from the MYs that came before it. Correcting that now.
Right. And the @TSportline display and tilt hardware work with this odd Austin 4680 build. That’s all I was trying to say.
The wife wanted the Mini, in her MY - minimal airflow interface. We really like it; looks OEM and even has a @TSportline splash at startup!

That looks like the Hansshow 4.6" Ultra Mini Display. I found the version for AMD processor at a price low enough to see if we like it.
I would guess there are many Chinese knockoffs that look the original. Good luck!
