Final Form Achieved (Full stealth productivity/gaming setup)

Where do you live and how much do you charge? Fucking awesome

Nice! We have an X with SteamOS but gaming in the car is a rare occasion.

Lol. It’s actually very straightforward. Routing the wires is just a tedious, time consuming job.

I wish they all came with that. How’s the latency and performance on most games?

Is this the EVOffer or OTBMods HDMI interface?

Please drop or send tutorial!

I believe SteamOS runs locally, no internet required.

Looks like the EV Offer one per the OP comment. I [made a video covering the install](https://youtu.be/-L3A0R8RQ3w?si=QFJroEfZS2PXy0w_) in my 24 MYP if it helps. I use it with my steam deck when super charging or sometimes during break from work. The install process is fairly straightforward and if you are comfortable removing the center console side panel (like if you are changing the air filter, and side of the dash trim you can install this.

Nice work OP 👍

It’s the Evoffer interface. Took about two weeks to get here (US) from China. I had a few issues installing and support was great. Highly recommend. I’m keeping my eye on the Teslogic interface since it has a few more features, but only if it ever comes out. You can grab a discount code from one of the videos that takes $50-$65 off of the Evoffer interface, which is nice.

It is. I probably watched every single video on YouTube about HDMI interfaces before I chose Evoffer, and yours was a really good one that helped me pull the trigger.

Thank you! I also added a usb hub to the center console today so now the PC can basically never be touched again.

Oh man, that’s so nice to hear and is exactly why I make the videos to help folks see how DIY friendly many of the accessories actually are to install.

They are. This Tesla is easier to work on/mod than basically any other car I’ve owned. I will say that working with the blue connector on the MCU was a PAIN. Especially since I don’t have small hands.

You have a yoke in a model y?

Performance is good with the little bit of testing I've done, but I haven't had the chance to load a very performance demanding game. Kind of too lazy to go out to the garage to test it and if I'm out and about, there's no opportunity to sit around in the car to load up a game.

Is that Atreus inside the tree of Yggdrasil?

Where do you keep the laptop?

No tutorial needed since SteamOS (Same as on the Steam Deck) is included natively on the refreshed S/X vehicles (I think only available on mid-2021-to-mid-2024 models) since those vehicles have "PS5-level" processing performance.

How do you connect your pc to the car screen?

Haha, yes it is. I’m FINALLY getting around to playing.

Under the passenger seat on a cooling pad. I may not even need the pad because this AMD Omen runs cool. The highest I’ve seen the temps so far are around 70 while gaming.

The Evoffer HDMI interface connects to the display and MCU under the glovebox. (At least in my 2023 MY. Some other models and years have different areas you connect to.)You can plug anything that uses HDMI into it.

Yeah it’s so they can see the instrument cluster better.

How do you keep it in place? Could you take a picture of it, I've been meaning to find a place for my Steam Deck.

Didn’t know it was an option

What about cybertruck?

AFAIK, nope.

It’s aftermarket, not an official option.

Got it, thanks for responding

I think you were making a joke....can't tell.

Having an unobstructed view of the instrument cluster is the reason Tesla gave for doing the yoke wheel on the Model S and X. The Model Y doesn’t have an instrument cluster.

ok...you were making a joke!

I am guessing this voids warranty? I have been looking for something like this to use with my Steamdeck, but might wait for warranty to run out.

Have you noticed any video audio sync issues?

No idea, but I would remove it if I ever needed any major warranty work done.

I forgot to add in the post that I connect to laptop to a Sony Ult 3 that’s hidden behind the screen. Sounds great and the latency is barely noticeable, if at all.

I am guessing you didn't need to cut any wires then? I may just do this now, thanks!

Ah that makes sense, I was thinking I could just keep using my headphones connected to the SteamDeck but for movies and the whole family nothing beats the 16 speakers. I suppose the decks speakers for movies is enough though.

None. It could probably be removed in about 10 minutes.

I read that someone else connected a Bluetooth FM transmitter and got it working that way, but I chose the Ult 3 because it has multipoint and can connect to my iPad and Omen at the same time, meaning I never have to switch any inputs. You can also order an FM transmitter with the Evoffer interface, but I didn’t.

https://imgur.com/a/qiiTmEu For now it just rests on the floor, but it has 3D printed brackets I can use to attach it under the seat if I decide to.

Dope

I stream games into my CT using GeForceNow

Cant wait to do gaming when FSD doesn't have to be surpervised

I found a bluetooth audio transmitter that might work. It uses aptx or something, that should be better than the FM transmitter, when plugged into the decks USB, or other computer. The Tesla will pick it up like a phone's bluetooth.

Only 60Hz? Unplayable.

Lol, I know. I meant Peasant Mobile, not final form. Peasant Mobile achieved.

GeForce Now and the browser? How’s the latency?

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to actually game while letting the car drive. I guess I still have my limits.

I have a mid 2021 model s and I don’t have steam

It's a refreshed S? It should.

The VERY early refreshed S and X did not have it, and then later down the road they removed the feature again after a few years. Kinda like how the refresh S and X don't all have screens that pivot

Or were they making a yoke? Badumtss

I see. Must be very few. Especially since the 2021 production ramp was very slow. The pivoting screens came much later so there are a LOT of cars without.

Yeah it wasn't a lot. The funny thing about the screens is that if you go back further than they were officially available you still find some, the factory was apparently the wild west lol Source: worked in service for Tesla and one of our shop leads was actually at Fremont for the plaid and general refresh prototyping

Yeah. Tesla operates a bit like a Silicon Valley startup... Good and bad.

200 ping

0 ping.

Very cool setup! So is that a custom installation of a hdmi interface on the screen?

Yes, I installed the Evoffer HDMI interface. I really wanted to wait for the Teslogic Screenmate but they keep pushing the release date. I checked a few days ago and it’s now “Nov.” So far the Evoffer interface has worked flawlessly. The tablet is what I use for all of my media, YouTube, music, etc. It also just happens to work amazingly well as a wireless trackpad and keyboard for the laptop that’s plugged into the interface.

Just installed it yesterday with the MCU behind the center console. I bought a Creative Stand Air V2 soundbar for things like the switch and I have a ChatGPT generated guide to get the SteamDeck audio sent directly to the car sound system through bluetooth that I will test out soon. It should make a BT signal like the one on a phone does, with no latency. It could probably be done on Windows too.

That’s awesome. If you get that working update us for sure. I’ve been more than happy with my Sony speaker hidden behind the display on the dash, but no latency through the car speakers would be optimal.
