Looks like you guys made Jalopnik today: The Tesla Model S Is Basically A Good Looking IT Department On Wheels

Today I susscefully connected to this connector, with a 2 row 4 contact male header (2mm pitch)

These 3 peripheral send of lot of data in broadcast UDP, to 192.168.90.255 broadcat address. Different UDP ports are used depending of data type.
In fact they use the same principle a CAN bus use :
- Everyone send data on the network
- Anyone who need it listen for this data.
============
Hello,
Have you checked whether the broadcast data is anything like the RTPS protocol? As its name implies, the RTPS (Real-Time Publish/Subscribe) uses the publish/subscribe interaction model, just like CAN. Unlike CAN, the published data is identified by a named 'topic', instead of a message id.

Yeah people! This is great. Hack into the car and spread the news!
Can't wait till someone will use that data to break into my car, attach a little electronic box, disable all tracking abilities and drive away!.... Great work! Thanks in advance.
Parrot are primarily known for making bluetooth and phone integration stuff. They pretty much rule the market for OEM integrations with this. There were previous discussions that the mobile phone support in Model S was Parrot.
Parrot is the wifi chip.
This has been in the OS since the beginning. According to some reports in the thread below keyboard input worked up until firmware 4.5 but not after that... Someone at Tesla probably thought what you though about the different inputs that could get you "behind" the visual OS during booting etc.Hi,
I haven't had much time to digg further in the Tesla model S internal computer systems or network, however I managed to get a mouse input device working on the 17" dispaly device.
I made a short crappy quality video about to demonstrate it. (Yes it's crappy quality, yes I know about the vertical video syndrome and yes I know you can see my location in the GPS: but I don't care).
I used one of the USB ports for the mouse input. A keyboard doesn't work, altough some keys send "weird" characters and sometimes crash the system.
Also tried holding the shift while booting in the hope to get at the bootloader, holding i to see if we get an "i"nteractive init, pressing esc in the hope to escape the splash screen and ofcourse hitting alt-f<1..12> and ctrl-alt-f<1..12> in the hope to switch the foreground terminal. All without any success....
Hi Johan,
Thank you! I didn't know that, interesting.
However, I am planning to do some more testing next weekend to see if I can send some keystrokes somehow.
Very concerned too. But I only connected to ethernet diagnostic port, and will only read data on this port, will never try to do more, it will not void my warranty
