As much as many Tesla owners seem to be big fans of their cars, there is one thing that they can widely agree on — the lack of CarPlay or Android car support is baffling. Now, those on the Android side are good to go — if they don’t mind a workaround.
Tesla chauffeurs can now delight in Android car through a workaround. simply install a $6.50 app and connect their phone to the automobile through Bluetooth. . After connecting the automobile to their phone’s WiFi hotspot, it’s all pretty easy — just head to androidwheels.com and that’s it.
There’s little doubt that this is a workaround, but it seems to work based on early reviews. chauffeurs can use Waze, Google Maps, and much more as if this was a genuine Android car connection.
Simple app which allow users to project Android car using Tesla’s built in browser.
Your Tesla needs to have support for hardware accelerated video for this app to work. All Tesla’s supporting Netflix/YouTube/Disney+ ought to be able to use this app.
That doesn’t imply that there aren’t issues, though. As Electrek reports, there are some caveats to consider.
When / after switching to reverse the video can become unresponsive. A revitalize of the page will fix this.
The app uses native FFMPEG binary on the phone side, which on some occasions can die in the background. This will not happen during the drive, much more like during the setup or if you close the browser of Tesla numerous times then switch back to it. sadly this needs the TeslAA service to be stopped and restarted.
Performance depends on the phone and on the Tesla browser as well. Under-powered phones might not be able to stream correctly in 720p.
Wireless charging when using AA can result in phone overheating (happens on my OnePlus 8 Pro), I can avoid this by using a wired charger (a bit unfortunate, but this is again phone dependant).
If you lose mobile phone signal for a long time, Telsa might decide to disconnect from the WiFi, and you won’t be able to reconnect untill you’re back in an area with mobile coverage.
All of that said, it’s better than nothing, right?
