CARPLAY IS HERE TESLA MODEL 3 MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

This video explores adding physical controls and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto functionality to Tesla vehicles, specifically the Model 3 and Model Y. The reviewer highlights three key aftermarket products: the 'Control Bar' for physical buttons and knobs, 'Sexy Buttons' from Enhanced Auto for advanced customization, and the 'T2C Carplay Box' for wireless CarPlay/Android Auto integration. The Control Bar offers a straightforward installation and programmable buttons for functions like trunk release and climate control, along with temperature adjustment knobs. The Sexy Buttons provide deeper integration via a 'Commander' unit, enabling features like an autopilot nag-canceling button and highly customizable single/double/long press actions. The T2C box is presented as a simple plug-and-play solution for wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, running within the Tesla's browser. While acknowledging Tesla's minimalist design, the reviewer finds these additions enhance usability and user experience, particularly for those who miss physical controls or desire CarPlay integration.
