Q&A

Q: What features does the All-in-One Dashboard offer?
A: The All-in-One Dashboard is arguably the most feature-rich and user-friendly dashboard available on the market. It not only displays essential vehicle information such as speed, gear, energy recovery, and door status, but also adds valuable features not found in Tesla’s stock system—like blind spot monitoring, battery preheat status, overspeed alerts, and customizable standby animations.
Beyond information display, it integrates a wide range of practical vehicle control functions: user-favorite features such as AP Distraction-Free Mode, Navigation Mode, Seat Massage, and Always-On High Beams, making long-distance driving safer and more relaxed.

We’ve also designed thoughtful features for passengers: One-Tap Recline, One-Tap Restore, One-Tap Fold, and Door Pop—perfect for rideshare drivers or those with frequent passengers.
Moreover, we’ve enhanced Tesla’s native functions—supporting manual battery heating for faster winter charging, and restoring the air conditioning drying function removed by Tesla, which activates automatically after parking to keep the AC system dry and odor-free.

Additional fan-favorite features include Pulse High Beams, Pulse Horn, and Flashing Rear Fog Lights, giving you tools to strongly warn or alert other drivers when needed. Other great features include 0-100 km/h acceleration testing (loved by Performance model owners), nighttime rear camera lighting via fog lamp illumination, and glovebox unlocking without a PIN.


Q: Does it support wireless charging? Do I need to plug in a cable for power?

A: It supports most Magsafe magnetic power supplies on the market, but wireless charging can cause the screen to overheat. If the vehicle is exposed to the sun for too long, causing the temperature to rise, the screen might overheat and restart. Disconnect the power and wait for it to cool down before normal use. Alternatively, you can try turning on the air conditioning to cool the screen. Using a Type-C cable to connect the screen for power is more stable and less likely to overheat.

Q: Will the wireless-powered dashboard overheat and shut down during summer?

A: Other brands use wireless coils for power, which tend to heat up—just like your phone on a wireless charger. Without active cooling, that heat can cause the device to overheat and reboot. Our dashboard avoids this issue with a custom magnetic PIN power design. Though it works like wireless charging—just snap it into place—the actual power delivery is wired through two PIN contacts. This ensures stable operation and prevents heat-related shutdowns.

Q: Will installation affect my vehicle’s warranty?

A: Not at all. Our main controller and dashboard connect via plug-and-play adapters, with no splicing or cutting into the original wiring. It is considered non-destructive installation and should not impact warranty. If you’re concerned, the system can be easily removed before any warranty visit.

Q: Does the dashboard hack into the Tesla system? Is it safe?

A: Not at all. The All-in-One Dashboard uses Tesla’s standard CAN protocol via broadcast communication. All functions simulate standard user inputs—no firmware hacking, no unauthorized writing. Our team has been developing Tesla-compatible control apps since 2017 under the Xiaote brand, with over 8 years of experience ensuring system reliability and safety.

Q: How much would the installation cost if it's not included in the package? Does the super workshop offer free installation?

A: The super workshop does not provide free installation services. The estimated installation fee is between 100-150, varying based on the car model and region. Please contact the service manager to confirm the actual installation cost.


Q: Is installation easy? Do you offer installation services? 
A: When enabled, the XiaoteBox main controller monitors vehicle signals in real-time. Upon detecting the “Hold Steering Wheel” prompt, it simulates a quick +1/-1 volume wheel adjustment, tricking the system into thinking the user performed the required action. Unlike competitors, which send repetitive wheel inputs every 3-5 seconds (causing constant pop-ups on screen), our system only acts when needed—fast, subtle, and nearly undetectable.


Q: What is the AI version of the dashboard?
A: The AI version is an upcoming upgrade featuring intelligent voice interaction, developed on the XiaoteBox main controller. This feature may be sold separately as software. Once released, users can simply install the app and connect to the existing dashboard hardware to use it.


Q: How does the seat massage feature work? Does it require seat modifications? Can it be used on the passenger seat?

A: The massage function uses two lumbar air bladders built into the driver’s seat. By inflating and deflating, it provides basic lower-back massage. It’s great for long drives, although it doesn’t replicate multi-point or heated massage systems like NIO or Li Auto. The passenger side is currently not supported because Tesla removed the lumbar bladder from passenger seats in Model 3/Y after 2022.


Q: Why does the dashboard have thick bezels? Can it be optimized or use an OLED screen?

A: We currently use a 2.1-inch LCD commonly found in smart home devices. Narrow-bezel circular screens are mostly smartwatch-size, which are too small to suit our UI. OLED displays are not ideal for in-car use due to summer heat, which can cause burn-in and reduced visibility. We’re continuously exploring better options while balancing performance and reliability.
