    Model S - USB Port Compilation Thread

    I was reading more about USB ports on the Tesla as I'm thinking of "expanding" the ports on the Model S to passengers (read "kids") in the rear seat (e.g., let them plug in USB devices to play their music) in addition to charging devices. Along the way, I found a few threads that had to do with...

    Glove box latch failure

    A simple engineering fix would be to make the right side hole a little thicker so the right post can't go far enough in to be trapped. Lastly, I noticed when the one and only time this happened, it was because I slammed the door closed.

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    Yes. He means look for other connectors in the camera module itself, which would mean you have to further disassemble the module. Preferably you can take high enough resolution macro pictures where any other chips may be identified (you can see the printed labels). My instinct says that it is...

    Sniffing the WiFi traffic

    FWIW, there are two of these in the car: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-automotive.html

    Onboard storage vs. USB drive for music

    I just bought this micro SD card for my phone, but it came with a ultra tiny adapter (as small as the San Disk one in the first posts)--AND it's interchangeable! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211737 Ironically, I have to tape it to a bigger piece of plastic just to...

    Pano Roof Wind Noise at Higher Speeds

    Any chance you can post some pictures of what they put in (i.e., the bracket)? I isolated mine by putting Scotch tape on the front seal, and drove around last Saturday morning with the tape--which pretty much eliminated any noise (before forgetting I had it and opened the pano--hey, it's SoCal...

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    Ouch. I guess it's not a great idea, even though I'm sure artsci would do a heck of a job.

    Waterproofed my keyfob (lots of pictures)

    Anyone with pictures of how to completely disassemble the key fob? This way some silicone sealant would do the trick.

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    It would seem strange that Tesla would use Ethernet (or include two connectors) when generally the console computers are connected to by serial buses like USB. That being said, there are two NVIDIA Visual Computing Modules (VCM) in the car, so it doesn't seem out of the question (both...

    Key Fob solutions

    +1, though the rubber? inside the fabric can wear out. I also use them in place of wire ties--we got a "ball" of them once at a sale once for $1.00 (must have been 30 of them).

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    1. When you say "remove the touch screen", do you mean open up its housing? It seems like you've already removed the computer/touchscreen from the console. - I'm presuming you mean remove the touch screen from the housing, and I'd start with the torx screws that's holding down the housing...

    Opinions needed on adding additional 12V outlets

    I knew it!!! I'll have to find time to get on this and post pictures when I can.

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    Thanks. Looks like it's different than the connectors I need. I'll contact them and see if they can supply what I need though. BTW, it says it's $18 for the cable from China. I hate to think how much would Amp have charged you?
