INSTALLING THE HANSSHOW F9 SCREEN AND MY REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details the installation of the Hansshow F9 secondary screen for a Tesla Model Y. While the installation process is described as "fairly easy" with some initial challenges, the reviewer highlights significant software issues, including freezing, blank screens, and difficulties with firmware updates, requiring support calls and even a video call. Despite these software glitches, the reviewer expresses satisfaction with the screen's primary functions: displaying speed and horsepower (though horsepower doesn't display correctly when Autopilot is engaged) and offering Apple CarPlay integration. The reviewer notes that the "vent cut-out" design, a key selling point, provides less airflow than expected. Ultimately, the reviewer finds the screen "worth it" at the discounted price of around $200 (without the camera), particularly for those seeking CarPlay or a Rivian-like display, but advises against purchasing the front camera due to lack of immediate need and installation complexity. The software experience is noted as needing improvement with clearer instructions.
