The bezels are too fat, that's just too big.

I too wouldn't get it, but I hope Tesla sees this and improves/adds more features to the screen....like Carplay. I really like it and I hope they find a way to integrate it while still allowing to show the vital Tesla items on screen.

How do they get off calling it "Heads Up Display"; its a Heads Down Display.

heads up - 7 up

I never found the lack of central screen or HUD to be problematic.

The climate on the other hand is a pain. Has anyone made a control panel with physical controls?

Just received. Initial photos of unboxing. As usual from most overseas products install Instructions are a bit simplistic (think IKEA). Video the sent me earlier by request is quite unpolished.. I know there is a video on you tube from another installation that may be easier to follow.

^^^ How long ago did you order it. And did they send you any notification that it had shipped?

I received fed shipment updates from the moment they printed the shipping label. I think I ordered it in January but it was delayed a bit for parts and Chinese NewYear issues

^^^ Curious to know how wireless CarPlay works. How long does it take to pair, how well does it work, etc. Please let us know once you’ve installed it.

Carplay works fine, quick pairing. Works as you would expect. Still trying to figure out all the kinds though. No User guide so getting everything setup is a lot of trial an error

Hansshow sent me a file to update the unit to the latest MCU version. Turns out there was an instruction guide included with this update. I have included it for research purposes. Obviously it would be much better if the guide was rewritten in clearer english and with better screenshots. Still, its a start.

To each their own, I suppose. Personally, I don't feel the need for any additional screen in front of the steering wheel, or a heads up display. I've noticed that I have no trouble seeing the critical info on my M3's screen. Maybe my peripheral vision is better than average, though at 70 I doubt it.

Now that you've had it installed for a couple of weeks, how do you like it? Does everything work as advertised?

There are still some things that I think that Hansshow is working on. its a pretty cool piece of tech. my big beefs are that the screen/systems sometimes touches or scroll wheel input will lag and you'll have to wait for it to catch up. Also there is an issue with Carplay phone calls having a horrible echo/delay. Which they are hopiing to fix in the next firmware release

Interesting device. Wonder how the audio gets routed to the in-car audio?

This is my question as well. Does anyone have any information on this?

As far as I know there are three possibilities: wired, WiFi, or Bluetooth. I’m not aware of any WiFi or wired input path on the Tesla, and if it uses Bluetooth it would not be capable of lossless (16/44) audio unfortunately.

This guy has some good videos on this device.

the biggest issue is that the GUI has been designed by a 8 year old. no thought has been put into it.

The GUI doesn't bother me as my primary interest in the device would be for CarPlay, which is designed by Apple. So if you're in CarPlay it would be OK, but I get what you're saying about the rest of it.

How exactly is it any worse than the built-in GUI? I don't see anything wrong with the GUI from the demo video.

 

[rjpjnk]

I think it looks great. I like that it is colorful. Also, you can move stuff around I believe.

its aweful in so many ways. they should have just copied the pre AP Model S one.
