How To Get CarPlay or Android Auto on Your Tesla

Terry White is here to review the Dylnk Cast Pro 2.0 device that allows you to add Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to your Tesla (2019 or above). The Dylnk Cast Pro 2.0 is a small hardware device that you connect your Tesla's WiFi and your smartphone's WiFi and Bluetooth. Once connected, you will have all the benefits of wireless CarPlay in your Tesla's web browser.

I have one of those second displays They wire in directly into your Tesla And it does display Car door opening Tire pressure And your speed And can be controlled with your wheel

I remember when Waze worked natively in the browser back in 2018. Supposedly Google disabled that functionality on their end. I'd love to get Waze back to show reported police locations but not upgrading the original Model3 just yet. Thank for showing us what it can do!

Yeah kind of crazy because every car since 2016 with apple car play/android auto has it, but no matter how much you spend at tesla, still can't get you that feature natively :/ this looks like a decent work around tho as long as you have a good connection...

[@amotabs9113]

Too much work

[@KendallHall]

The main thing I want is to be able to use the steering wheel voice button to command Google assistant, as well as having regular Google maps navigation that integrates with the full self driving feature, so this won't be much better than having my phone connected via Bluetooth with a mount to keep it easily visible and accessible.

Hot to get fullscreen navigation,without see what autopilot see?

Hey Terry, just browsing KZbin, I somehow came up with your video. I don’t have this CarPlay box, but I think I have a solution to fix your problem. I didn’t want to pay for Tesla’s premium connectivity so I bought a small USB hub for the glove box (so I can still use sentry mode with the USB stick plugged in to it) a USB extension cord and a cheap 4G LTE modem stick that I ran up in the A pillar on the passenger side. My phone contract includes up to 10 Sim cards so I can share my data etc. My Tesla is set up to connect to the Wi-Fi of the 4G modem stick. So all I have to do is before I leave my house door is open the Tesla app (to wake the car up which will activate the USB ports when sentry mode is off) and close it again. By the time I get to the car and sit down the car is already connected to the Wi-Fi of the LTE stick. Maybe that could work for you?

installation starts here okay i’m trying to skip through the video - I have to purchase something to do this?!? 👀

How can we enable the browser while driving? Doesn’t work in Australia

[@TerryLeeWhite]

I didn't have to do anything special. It just works here.

[@grumpyoldmanandhisev]

you cant run your web browser whilst driving in Australia :-(

[@rleader1]

How do you get the tesla nav on the entire screen??​@@TerryLeeWhite

[@bigdee8921]

is the mirroring function any good?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Honestly I haven’t even tried it. I’ll give it a try and let you know

[@hard1172]

Looks like it works great but I wished Tesla would just make some sort of App Store to developers create their own programs for the car

[@MsImajin]

I think I’m gonna try this… I need Elon to get with the program (CarPlay)! 😆

[@OneOfDaKine82]

As long as Apple supports Disney Elon won’t have it

[@kenmasters007]

Want to know if it will work on Intel based MCU2.. S or X.

[@TerryLeeWhite]

The developer says it should.

[@kenmasters007]

M​@TerryLeeWhite cool just need to figure out now how to play local video files

[@n33oh]

Do you need Hotspot for this to work?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

No, all the data comes from your iPhone natively.

[@wayneg296]

👍👍😎✌️🤟

[@AG34273]

Doing it on the browser is crap and hacky. Wish they could figure out a way without browser.

[@RobSpiv]

I had a very different, terrible, experience. Very janky and unreliable. The box needs two connections - both a Wi-Fi to the Tesla and a Bluetooth to share the Internet on your phone. That means, actually, the Internet speed and reliability of your connection is actually controlled by the Bluetooth link to your phone. After it gets stuck and you end up spending 15 minutes rebooting your phone, re-pairing the bluetooth, and even having to do a soft reboot of the Tesla itself (when the web browser locks up) it quickly becomes a PITA and not worth the trouble. Let's put a pin in this and see how you feel in another month or so? Also, the Wi-Fi is only used for the website this company (and its competitors) provide to hack the web browser to bring up the CarPlay screen. So you are also totally dependent on the website being online from this Asian/offshore company.

Waze is not good
