CarPlay & Android for Tesla

Visit partner

Screenmate One adds Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Android apps and extra Tesla controls to the screen already in the car. It does not add a second display or replace Tesla’s interface. For me, the interesting part is being able to use the extra functions and then return to Tesla’s own screen with a gesture.

Ownership

How they helped: Screenmate provided me with a One unit to test in my Model Y. I’ll document the installation and try CarPlay, Dual View and the extra Tesla controls in daily driving.

Tesla Y DMLR — the story

Auction damageFront-end damage

We chose this car because the damage looks minimal, the Carfax showed a clean history, and there are no other visible issues. There are no deployed airbags. The photos show the battery at 56%, which suggests it should not have been at 0%, or at least that if it drains, it should not stay at 0% for long (the car was bought about a month later).

As soon as it arrives, we will check the SoH and charge it to 80%. Follow the updates...

How the diary works

Categories

There are 5 main categories. Each expense is assigned to a category, which makes filtering and finding individual costs easier.

Steps

Each entry also has a project step connected to the expense. This makes it easier to filter the amounts more quickly.

Discounts

In the diary, all amounts are final prices and do not include active commercial discounts at the time of payment. This avoids surprises if you decide to use the same service or buy the same item.

Currency

All expenses are in euro, but for people who prefer leva, we added an option to show the amounts in BGN using the official fixed BNB rate.
