    What would cause this to void your warranty? It looks like it's just a wiring harness that grabs that piggybacks the signal stream. No potential to modify any of the cars systems or electronics.

    Yes, plus it must connect to the CAN bus directly e.g. to show speed and indicators etc. It has to for these to be in sync with the main display.

    This also gives us other possible accessories that might become available using some similar such as a HUD. No clutter, and the M3 was speculated as having a HUD before launch.

    Ask yourself this simple question. What would the Tesla Service Center people say if they saw this unit mounted in the car when you take it in for service? You are kidding yourself if you don't think that the car itself doesn't log all the activity into "Tesla cloud" where they can review it anytime they want.

    A touchscreen for CarPlay that sits behind the steering wheel?

    This is an even worse idea than the first gen product. Because now it’s also dangerous.

    I swear, whoever starts these posts must be affiliated with the company and attempting to drum up sales.

    Not part of the company. I am a Tesla owner that likes to search and expand my knowledge and not be closed minded. Some things are good, some things are not. This is merely an item I saw.. and though maybe a decent idea.

    And wanted intelligent conversation.. I swear those that post stupid/closed mind answers.. does nothing for the community, and shows how shallow life they have. Keyboard Warriors. SMH

    You can always use siri to do most of the commands instead of using the touchscreen. Curious how they are getting the vehicle data such as the turn signal info though. If its through an app, how bad is latency?

    As I posted above, pretty sure it's via the CAN bus. I've got their HUD which does exactly that.

    Answered in post #24 but suppose for a moment that you are driving along the highway and all of the sudden the MY goes into "limp-mode". You pull to the side and call Tesla Roadside Service. The tech thinks the display unit may be the cause of the electric gremlin. How do you plan on getting warranty repair on whatever is going on? What keeps Tesla from continuing to insists that it's not their problem?

    You 100% right. As with 100% aftermarket product regards of what it is. From a mud flap you decide to create new holes, and then water get inside something. It doesn't matter what aftermarket product you use it can void a warranty with concerns to whatever it touches.

    Point of this thread to point out they come out with a new and improved version. Adding Car Play/Android Auto..

    I am all for innovation of anything....,, not all aftermarket items are for everyone.... We all love our Tesla's and want to do different things, or want different things....

    For the Airflow, we had done the test, if the airflow is under gear 7, there is no different after install the screen.
    For airflow gear over 8, it will have part of affect, but the air can flow through the bottom of the screen (there is a narrow gap ), the left side airflow have no effect, your hand and feet can feel the airflow.
    What's more, the front airflow will come from the space under glass.
    The driver's head area can get the airflow.

    The screen and bracket are fixed and can not be move. We were going to design to make it movable, but for long term use and stability, we decided to fix the screen there.

    We had considered make the border become thinner just like the Model 3 mains screen. But there are some problem, if we make it thinner, we can not put the touch screen inside, and the screen will be difficult to assemble. To make the screen easy to produce, we had to increase the border.
    In order to realize the voice control function (presently, it only work with Mandarin), we add a microphone at the top of the screen, it makes the border thicker.

    The screen system has 1 speaker, 2 Bluetooth.
    1 speaker can work independently when you did not connect any device.
    1 Bluetooth can use for connecting your smartphone to realize the car play function.
    Another Bluetooth can use to connect the tesla system.
    In this case, when you connect the screen with the tesla system, if you use the navigation or play music on the screen, the car system 14 speakers can play it as well.

    Thank you for your praise.
    The device just like a smartphone, I am not sure whether people will afraid smartphone would not hack into the tesla system or not.
    The installation is plug and play, only need to put the 2 side plug in the computer. The CANBUS system only read tesla canbus data, it would not make communicate, it would not send any data to the tesla system.
    The tesla signal icon show on the screen are real-time. There is no delay.

    It is more than that.
    It has a Model S style UI, it can show almost everything about the original tesla signal icon.
    Your steering wheel right button can control the screen.
    For the navigation function, everyone thinks it is useful.
    With this special design screen, you no need to watch the main screen when you are driving. The same just like Model S, even more function than Model S screen, is not cool?
