Official Tesla-Style Head Unit

[wireeater]

Unless the unit is only available by group buy, I'm not totally concerned about that. I'm just not ready to buy it yet. I put myself on a car mode suspension after tallying up how much I spent last year on my cars on parts alone LOL. I want to make sure the Mustang is going to be the car I want to keep more than 2 years before I dump more parts into it.

Yeah, we'll likely always have at least 1 purchae method I'm sure. Also, I need your suspension and wheels though, so if you could just hand them over, that'd be great...

Is it my flash drive or this unit doesn't work with exFAT file system drives? Trying to update to the march firmware update.

Is it my flash drive or this unit doesn't work with exFAT file system drives? Trying to update to the march firmware update.

in the README I believe I specified it needs to be FAT32 (exFAT is somewhat close to FAT32 but still not the same). I'm sorry if I forgot to mentioned it.

Yeah I saw it in the note but my drive is 64GB so it has no Fat32 option. I gotta partition it somehow to switch.

Trust me it does. Windows doesn't do it by default. I made 1tb on FAT32 before. Use this tool and run it as Administrator. http://filehippo.com/download_hp_usb_disk_storage_format_tool/

Got the following cable to hook the WiFi antenna up (since we were sent the wrong kind)https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MAY8O1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VnP0ybG25WRKB

Here are the WiFi networks that my unit can detect while sitting in my garage, with the antenna screwed in the back. All connections have poor reception.

Here's where i mounted the antenna. The cable is pretty difficult to work with, I tried the antenna in numerous spots and it made no difference where it was placed.

Here are the networks available after the WiFi antenna was installed. My car is in the same spot and you can obviously see how many new networks are discovered. Reception is much better, it connects to my WiFi instantly and is quick. Rather than having a "poor" connection, its rated at "excellent". Using the speedtest.net app, I was getting around 4x1Mbps on my 60x5Mbps connection. That wasn't very good, but my router is at the complete other end of my house and my GF was watching Netflix. Nonetheless, I came from 30kbps to this. I also hijacked my routers 8" antenna and that didnt make any difference in connectivity/speeds. I would say this is a major victory!

Last time he texted me in Chinese and my friend translated last time. He told me it was Cantonese.

I am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin. I could work something out if you provide me details.

That's good to know! Try to PM Patrick he has more information than me about the manufacturer and Chinese translation he needs. Thanks for your help man!:cheers:

That's awesome! Could you also help with some accurate translations for the cables and UI? I can get pictures/screenshots up (for example, the one here: http://mustang.rajenki.com/Tesla-style_head_unit/Cables).

Okay, I have just sent Patrick a PM. I'll keep everyone on track on this one. Let me know what we want/need from the manufacture and I will do the proposal.

My understanding so far (and correct me if I am wrong) is that we want:
- a better deal
- source of the platform
- more explanation on some unknown settings?

Here, I have translated it in MS paint. Hope you can read my terrible red fonts.

Sweet, thanks! I'll update the wiki. I'll get more pics of the other labels too if you don't mind translating them
