Oh ok,. I had seen that one but thought it needed to have H-MTD on it. The Rad Moon and Speedlink seem easy.
So whichever I get will need to connect to the H-MTD port (obvi) but does the converter also need to connect via the SC fiber port? I assume not since Rad Moon doesn't have SC ports.
Will any USB power be sufficient with these?
This is my first exposure to the converter so super unfamiliar with it. Thanks for all the help btw

If the device has a USB-C port, then that should be good enough. The console USB-C ports and the 12v cigarette port power up at the same time. Either will work if you buy an adapter for it too. None that I've seen outside of the Tesla Factory kit come with a power source.
The connection is: Car H-MTD --> H-MTD Cable to whatever port is on the device --> Device --> Ethernet Cable to Computer + Power to the Device. That's all you should need.
The Phytools Media Converter, the Technica one, and a few others like the Speedlink use an H-MTD to H-MTD cable. The Intrepid one uses a H-MTD to Manenet cable.

understand that but what would you be doing with your car after a retrofit? are you enabling other special features or diag tools?

Unless you're the type of person who likes to tinker or help others, not really useful. It's one of the reasons I was looking at providing a rental to do just the upgrades, but that has its own challenges.

This is actually what I was thinking. Seems like a good way to recoup some money and help others borrow the tools needed for a one-off project.
I am reaching out to two service techs that I have in my contacts to see if they are willing to help or know how to help with these self-retrofit kits.

I think as long as we put rental traffic in the Marketplace it should be fine?
A MS/X Early Palladium Rental Match Making program?

For those looking into the tilt screen retrofit, the VCLeft controller GEN4 has gone up in price. Its now $445.
Total is $535+$40 tax
edit: Tesla SC says the 1585694-00-C part # is compatible with 03-B so I am going to give that one a shot from a vendor on eBay $190 vs $445. definitely worth a try.

Most of us paid a guy (there's a few out there) a few hundred bucks.
Word on the street is you can do it with toolbox now using the Service Shell, but I haven't personally tried yet. I am thinking of grabbing a subscription to play around with it
