Thank you. They’re a good company, so I’m sure they are constantly improving thier products. I have one in order.

There is a new version of this display coming soon, with CarPlay. It’s probably why they have abandoned any updates on this current iteration.

theyve been on aliexpress for a while. the issue with the carplay/AA one is that its a bit bigger, the gui is just as ugly and when carplay is active you get a kinda of ugly bar on the bottom with some model 3 driving computer info.

I actually prefer the bottom bar with the driving info if that’s what comes to fruition, I hate the side by side mode I always turn it off it uses way too much real estate and usually the UI elements are the incorrect units (km/h bar Celsius) even though they’ve been changed on the other UI. The bigger screen needed for CarPlay. It’s no bigger than the current Linux screens (I have 10.25” now lol) I’m more looking forward to seeing how much glare is reduced with the hood around the screen.
It’s also an IPS touch screen and allows mirroring, and OTA upgrades (I’ve yet to get a single one on any of the “OTA enabled” displays I have)
I don’t mind the UI, as long as it gives the info I need. They’ll never get the Tesla UI exactly - I have had so many of these screens none of them are perfect. I’ve come to realize they are going to just keep pushing out new versions of these displays instead of making them better. Point in case the rear entertainment displays - they’re now on hardware v4 since October/November. Almost a new screen every month.
They were very responsive with replies at the beginning but nothing tangible was actually done about my issues I reported other than they were looking into it. Perhaps they still are looking into the issue but I was hoping at least for an update after 1/2 year so at this point I am not expecting much. I don't know about others but for me the service response to the issues reported are no better than the offshore competitors at this point. I hope T-Sportline will prove me wrong on this.
I assume this is the one referred to. Worse than the GUI is the overall dimensions of this one. Looks like they took one of the big rectangular screens available and added a shroud around it. The dimensions are way too chunky looking.
I appreciate the added functionality but execution is lacking.

isnt that the issue with all the china devices? Great idea, shitty execution.

Yes, unless you’re in the US, it hits different LOL
I meant if I had changed them to mph, psi and Fahrenheit in the settings, the split screen UI wouldn’t reflect those changes.
Good idea but seems I don't need to. They have just reached out to me. The downside is that it took a very long time and I've had to re-explain the issues. The upside is that they made contact. Will keep you all posted. If they fix all the issues I have reported, this dash would be a good option based on overall design.

technically speaking mph is available in the menu. Just says something weird like m/h (but then, tbh your kph is also weird)
Nothing yet. Just asked me to reconfirm the issues and what firmware version I was on which infers there's more that one firmware version. If that is correct, the newer version of the firmware (if it exists) would be better posted on the product page or a support page. Hopefully I get a response soon.

It is available, when you change the units however, it usually doesn’t reflect in the mini HUD in split screen mode with CarPlay, it usually reverts back to the kM/h bar and Celsius, that’s what I was trying to point out. It’s like a UI bug or something with most of these displays. That’s why I usually do full

Update: I did get a response from T-Sportline with a new update file. There are some definite improvements. For starters, the color selection of the car is now manually selectable and they actually included unicorn silver - this is a welcome change as the blue car on the screen just didn't look right. Another improvement is the indicator for the lights - previously the indicators were a complete jumbled mess but now it mostly indicates as it should. They also added an option to have a mode where it only shows a speedometer but that seems almost too uninformative. Lastly when the screen is set to switch automatically from day to night mode it was previoulsy programmed with a specific time and this was not ideal as during the days of the year when the sun is out long, it can switch to night mode too soon and vice versa. Now they let you program a specific time for on/off. It's much better but still not perfect execution. It would be much more practical if the day and night mode could be tied to headlight on/off.
On the down side, the tire pressure is still inaccurate. The psi reading is correct occasionally for up to two tires while the other two tires fluctuate by anywhere from -1 or -2 psi from the Tesla display. This is a bit annoying as there is no consistency and the error can be any of the tires.
