Have you found an android device designed to handle the heat in a car? I tried an old phone, but it became useless when left in a car in the sun, even when it was not hot outside.
Even the newest phones will not work due to overheating. Unless the device is built purposely for the car use, it will not work.

It refers to the speed limit. If you're under, it's green, slightly over, yellow, way over red.
I just posted some of my experience and solutions in detail here.

Teslogic with dedicated screen
I saw comments on another post about a dedicated screen for Teslogic. I figured posting my experience and how I overcame some of the concerns may be helpful to others. I’m using a OnePlus 9 phone. Overheating: I’ve had several days over 90 degrees and the phone hasn't overheated. I think Cabin...

That’s not what I’m seeing. Here are two screenshots where I am well above the speed limit in both, and it goes from green to red with 1 MPH apart.

It doesn't change exactly on the speed limit but at a percentage over. It basically follows the logic of the speeding chime, if you had it enabled.
Hi all, just wanted to weigh in that I’ve been very happy with my dedicated Teslogic setup.
I used a Peak Design charging car mount and an iPhone 12 mini in the Peak Design case. I really like the stronger magnets on this system. Easily removed when parking somewhere in public.
I wish it would automatically turn on it and off but it’s just a quick power button and swipe before going. I went with an iOS device because we’re in that ecosystem. The air blowing on the phone keeps it from overheating on drives.

Nice setup. Just don't leave it in the car during the summer month. It doesn't take much heat to stop working.
Fair enough. I'm fortunate to have garage parking at home and at work. I haven't actually tried leaving it out when parked in the sun since I take it off and hide it (or put it in my bag). But I have been outdoors in direct sunlight and heat and had my phone shut down.
Another added bonus of a dedicated setup is that I can turn off all the notifications and texts.
Looks good but if you ever reconsider think about going Android. I’m all iOS but went Android for my dedicated Teslogic screen. Since that’s all it’s doing it doesn’t have to live in the ecosystem of my other stuff. Also with Android being customizable I used Macrodroid to have it turn on/off on its own. It also turns Bluetooth off when the screen is off. To my understanding the Teslogic box being disconnected from a Bluetooth device allows it to sleep. Just some food for thought.
Turning off the iPhone manually at the end of the drive seems to disconnect from Bluetooth (based on the initial message I get of no transmitter found when I turn it back on).
I thought hard about the Android but had a hard time finding the intersection of affordable, having wireless charging, and being able to add Magsafe capabilities (or better yet, having a Peak Design compatible case). A cheap Android phone and case with a universal Peak Design adapter and wired charging would be more "integrated" as you described. But I like the easy detachability and reconnection of my setup. Sadly Shortcuts doesn't appear to match Macrodroid's capabilities.

All valid points. I spent more than I wanted to on a refurbed OnePlus 9 phone on Amazon. It checked all the boxes. Wireless charging, subtle camera hole, Bluetooth 5.2, flat screen, thin and mostly symmetrical bezel. I used the Teslogic mount and wireless charger. The adhesive wireless charging ring wouldn’t stay stuck to the phone. So I Gorilla Glued it on.

I get this error all the time on two different vehicles. It goes away after a short time and I don't notice any problems, so I'm guessing it's a bug in the software. I also get one that my bluetooth is too slow. I have a Pixel 6, not a budget phone. I wish they would fix it.

I do have a suggestion. Clear out all the data for the Teslogic app, and then repair the bluetooth. It couldn't hurt.

After the rigamarole with Hansshow's 6.86 display I decided to get this baby. I really do need a front bumper camera someday so I hope that's on your upgrade radar in the future!
In the meantime, the immediate safety this panel affords AND the fact it doesn't have to 24-7 block airflow because you can remove it has sold me.
Also teslogic's customer support is awesome, some of the best.
On that, thanks for putting up with the back and forth for my order. Truly support what you guys are doing and am super excited to install this.
Again I'll let you know in a week or so but every review I've seen is awesome. I'll only mourn the potential of a bumper camera but I'm sure I'll be super happy with this in general.

I'm getting my teslogic soon but I've done extensive research on this and frankly you cannot get better than teslogic if you want a instrument panel because this is the only screen I've seen that is removable and uses your phone. If you're even halfway entertaining an instrument panel this is the only viable option on the market that won't block airflow to your face because it's the size of your phone AND you can remove it when it's extreme 107F weather.
