Frequently asked questions
I have an AP0 Tesla — do I need anything extra?
Possibly. AP0 owners may need an additional harness depending on the OBD2 port configuration. Send a photo of your OBD2 port to info@beatsonicusa.com before purchasing and we will confirm.
Is the TESLM1 all I need?
No. Smartphone-specific adapters are required depending on your device. See the requirements section above.
Will mirroring start automatically when I connect my phone?
No. The mirrored image displays on the factory screen only after long-pressing the menu button and selecting backup camera mode on the Tesla screen.
Can I charge my phone while mirroring?
The power consumed during mirroring may exceed the charging rate, causing the battery to slowly drain. Dimming your phone's screen brightness and closing background apps will significantly reduce power consumption without affecting the image on your Tesla's screen.
Is there any audio delay?
There is a slight delay of approximately 0.2 seconds between sound and video when using Bluetooth audio. A cigarette lighter FM transmitter may be used as an alternative for zero delay between video and sound.
Will the video quality be HD?
The TESLM1 supports up to 1080p HDMI input. However video streaming quality also depends on your mobile carrier's plan. Some carriers limit streaming to 480p or SD on certain plans — check with your provider for details.
Will my backup camera still work?
Yes. All factory functions including the backup camera and phone calls are unaffected.
Can I mirror devices other than my phone?
Yes. Any device that outputs HDMI video with an appropriate adapter can be mirrored through the TESLM1.
Does this ship to Canada or internationally?
Yes. We ship to Canada and Mexico.
