Tesla 8.66" Android Rear Multimedia Entertainment Screen $386 Delivered @ Satonic Autoparts

200
VANILLA

The people in China that work on these accessories were able to decode the seat control signals via the CAN port so these rear screens have now been updated and improved to 1. Work better with the latest software so there's reduced input and audio lag but more importantly 2. Remove the necessity of routing seat cables entirely.

What this means is the installation of one of these is now literally one cable daisy chain under the center console and you're done, reducing the install time from over 30 minutes to under 5 minutes. Here's a photo of one | put in the other day. It literally is less than a 5 minute job start to finish which anyone can do. Pretty neat. They've also added a pin lock function to the screen.

VANILLA has also been updated to bring the frunk kit to an ATL of $396 and works sitewide.

Please note that this latest model with updated seat controls via CAN looks exactly the same as the older model (same screen and shell) so if you buy it from Ali YMMV and you may get an old one. I know that hansshow still stock the old one atm.

  • The rear entertainment console came with our highland model 3, however it kind of sucks that if they kids are using the rear cinema then we have to listen to spongebob in the front too.

      Yeah this is a retrofit kit for legacy 3 and Y. Not required for Highland or Juniper. I thought the highland is meant to localise the audio output to the rear speakers only?

      • Maybe I'm missing something, but I wish so.

          You will get it in next software update and all the tesla fans will be cheering. Take money upfront and give the basic product incremental stages to make sheep happy

            @hopper: It is not really like that. When I brought the car I was happy with all the features it had and in the last year have had so many extra, some are basic like Amazon, youtube music, new games and others are quite advanced like being able to see 7 cameras around your from the app anywhere in the world and video of the cameras being sent to your app if the alarm goes off.
            No other car manufacturer give you so many additional features after you buy the car. These updates are for the life of the car, people are getting updates on 10 year old models. With my old Mazda they wanted to charge me $200 to update the maps on my 3.5 year old car!

        • If kids are watching something in the back, ours only plays the sound through the rear speakers

      I believe a recent update allows them to connect via Bluetooth headphones so you don't have to.

    • That's why you get the kids to wear headphones.

    No ladies in China decoding CAM signals?

      Apologies. Updated.

      The shanghai teslas are some of the best built teslas out there. The hate is irrational.

      We rather buy Chinese made product that the expensive “proudly Australian made”. The fck their thinking boosting their price, and they want to “support your locals”. Daylight robbery.

      The very device that you typed this on is also made in or assembled in china….

    • Here, take my neg! You sure do like making claims without any proof!

        Thanks for your participation

    • I guess you don't either …
      As some of the control modules are actually made in India.

  • Would installing this void warranty?

    • Gets asked often and the consensus is no. It’s fully plug and play and reversible. To void your warranty Tesla SC would need to prove that the accessory caused the issue. There are a lot of people with similar mods out there and there’s no precedent for SC causing a fuss about them in Australia.

      It is made in China for the Teslas in Australia that are also made in China. Not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that I’m withholding. I literally said that the people in China decoded CAN to make this newer model?

        Work on your sales pitch then, it reads weird AF. Your product sounds like underground black market stuff that breaks more often than not.

        The gents ladies, gents and folks who prefer not to identify in China that work on these accessories were able to decode the seat control signals via the…

        • Updated

    • What is going on with your comment? OP specifically said People in China manage to decode it, that's the whole context of how People in China made the device work. I'd say that's making it 200% clear that it's Chinese made.

      Were you thinking it's proudly made in Australia or something? 🤔

    If this used the cars Internet connection like the front screen I would buy one in a seconds. Having to use your own data is a pain.
    Hope they can do this in the future

    • Unfortunately that won’t be possible until Tesla open up the network themselves

    • Is there no hotspot option with a tesla?

      • Not natively unfortunately.

  • Hi there. What version of Android is this? I've got one on Android 11 and it's horrible compatibility with most Google Play apps

    • Android 13

    • You need curl 💪 not a cat.

    • There're still 11 Andriods on the page, you'll need to run it again with a "-i"

  • Genuine question to those have these installed, won’t kids get dizzy for watching with head down while cars in drive?

  • Or buy an iPad 9th with a headrest pad mount.

    In my case I bought from these guys a few weeks ago and they don't respond to my questions post-sales (they were basic questions about delivery).
    Also, make sure you create an account before/during purchase, because their "View" order link in email doesn't work. Redirects to https://account.satonic-autoparts.com/orders/<etc> - the https://account.satonic-autoparts.com/ site doesn't work.

    • Have they responded to your questions now? If you don’t mind what channels did you try to contact them through so I can pass the feedback on re poor response times. Happy to step in and help if they haven’t yet sorted you out. Also, thanks for flagging the view issue. It will be looked into asap.

      • (Replied to the wrong sub-thread, just placing the reply here also, where it should be)..
        24/07 - placed order
        26/07 - "shipment on the way" email received with tracking link.
        08/08 - shipping status hadn't moved along. Tracking still saying that same from when I first received the tracking link - "Your package is waiting to be picked up by the carrier." Sent email to Satonic to ask why nothing had yet happened in terms of shipping.
        10/08 - no response to email, and still no change in tracking status. Sent another e-mail, asking again, also saying that I will initiate chargeback with CC provider if I don't hear back.
        11/08 - shipping finally starts showing movement .. "Goods ordered … package outbound …".
        So, shipping is occurring and I should get the item soon. However at no stage did I ever heard back from Satonic. The e-mails were sent to [email protected] .

    • Thanks mate the view order issue in emails is now resolved. Also, re your order they are investigating. The advice so far is that it got held up at their forwarder and needed manual intervention.

  • I read a few reviews that say these rear scrrens have audio lag because of bluetooth audio. Is that true? So it is not lipsynced …around 1s delay

    • This is (surprisingly) a Tesla issue not an issue with the Android screen. If you connect to bluetooth headphones for example or use the onboard speakers the delay is not present. There are some reports of recent Tesla updates resolving this but as an alternative if you use apps like VLC for playback you can set an audio delay to sync.

        • Thanks noz. I’ll pass that along. If you pm me an order number I’ll check specifically what happened here as well. The expectation is that order to delivery should only be 7-10 days door to door.

          • @turkz1: Apologies, I replied to the wrong sub-thread. Anyway, I'll PM the order number.

  • Hm yeah what could go wrong.

    (Edit. CAN bus.)

    • Mate it’s CAN bus not CANNOT bus. She’ll be right.

  • Can I install this on my AU Falcon?

    • Depends. Does your AU falcon go stutututututu?

  • How are the ergonomics in the rear for young kids watching the screen? Am thinking whether I get something like this to entertain a couple of kids on a road trip or just stick with a simple tablet mount.

    • Very usable. Tesla has formalised this design in S, X, new highland and it has already been leaked for the juniper as well so it must be alright. My biggest concerns with a tablet mount are theft and also if the worst happens and the vehicle is in a collision you have a large metal brick with a battery flying around the car.

  • Ah Tesla, doing the devils work. Satanic indeed.
