I don't know about #1 but I asked ChatGPT and it said 'You can use third-party apps such as "Internet Tethering Switch" or "Tethering Widget" that will automatically turn off the WiFi hotspot when the phone loses internet connection. 'OK, decided to take the plunge ... I've installed android head units + CarPlay dongles in various German vehicles, and played with various Pi projects, so I figured this would be fun. Pi 4 arrived this morning, and although I'm still waiting for the Carlinkit dongle to arrive, I have Tesla-Android up and running "on the bench", as it were.
Two questions so far:
1 - I have the Pi tethered to my iPhone - in fact I'm sending this from my laptop, using my phone's tethered data via the Pi's wifi hotspot. So that works. I'm not much of an Android tinkerer, but can someone who understands Tasker (or similar automation apps) advise whether it's possible to run an automation so that the Pi's hotspot is only active when the iPhone is plugged in? (or maybe when the Pi detects an internet connection, whether USB, ethernet, bluetooth ...)?
2 - Less important but how do I change the Autokit icon to a Tesla logo? Do I need to download it from somewhere? Previous versions of Autokit have offered me various choices, but this one doesn't appear to have any built in, it just directs me to the 'gallery'.
Huge kudos to Michal for all the work that's clearly gone into this, I'm excited to have it up and running in the car - hopefully in time for a trip to NY and back on Thursday ...

Agree with the rec to use an older version. 2023 versions aren't ready yet. And the 2022 version has the Tesla icon as I recall.
