Summer Update

This week's article is dedicated to the 2024 Summer release, which introduces new functions. You, our awesome community, suggested most of the features after our previous update. Here are all improvements to our App, Buttons, and Knob, which we have been working on for the past few months.


[Visual walkthrough of the update]




**Visual updates to the app Dashboard:**




- A yellow Blind Spot indicator will show if there is a car in your left or right blind spot behind you. It will turn red if the turn signal is on or you are too close to that car.
- The Knob can now mirror its screen inside the S3XY Dash to help you navigate easier without looking down. Perfect for the ones that have our Knob and use our app as a heads-up display.
- Autopilot blue nag will also appear on the S3XY Dash to remind you to grab your steering wheel.
*(Blind Spot and AP NAG require Gen 2 Commander and Front Installation)


**The Commander can be officially paired with your car:**




Tesla officially approved us using their API, and we directly implemented it inside the Commander. It can now communicate with encrypted Tesla protocol via Bluetooth and send commands to your car. This will unlock some new climate features and will improve the synchronization of the temperature changes from your Knob to your vehicle.



**Passenger and Driver Vent control On/Off for Model 3 Highland:**



You can now toggle passenger and driver vents on and off with a single button on a Model 3 Highland. If Tesla supports this with one of their future updates for the other cars, it will work out of the box.


**Change Knob's Main Home Page:**



You can now customize your default home page for Drive, Park, or Reverse on the knob. This improvement will streamline knob navigation and minimize unnecessary interactions.


**Keep / Dog / Camp / OFF:**




You can now activate Climate Keep, Dog, Camp, and Bioweapon Defense Modes (if equipped) with a single press of a Button or through your S3XY Knob.
You could also toggle ON and OFF the entire HVAC system at once faster than ever before.

**Autopilot Penalty Prevention:**



New Automation which, will disengage the AP when speeds exceed 140kph or 85mph to prevent the "Autopilot unavailable for the rest of the drive" penalty warning. There is an option to activate the AP again when the speed drops under the threshold.


**Presenting Trunk:**




Similar to Tesla's recently released Presenting Trunk feature for cars with UWB sensors, we introduce a Presenting Trunk automation for all the other cars that will open the Trunk when you approach the car with your phone key. Our feature is activated based on your phone connection with the car and is activated on demand when exiting the vehicle. You can see how it works in our latest YouTube video.


**Continuous Autopilot for Model S and X:**



Drivers of Model S or X vehicles can now benefit from our best automation feature during long Autopilot drives. This innovative automation will automatically re-engage the Autopilot function after a lane change, providing a seamless driving experience.


**Improvements to the Buttons:**



- Synchronize the Seat Heating and Cooling actions with the car's display (require pairing with the car)
- Add a custom delay of a predefined amount of seconds between macro actions
- Add an option to set all or all rear heaters to Off with a single button


**Improvements to the App:**



- Add support for Highland S3XY Knob
- Increase top speed in the Dashboard from 240 to 510
- New Stats such as Total Power, Regen, and Acc. Pedal can now be used in the Tiles and Gauges


**Improvements to the Knob:**



- Make a new option for the brightness offset - AUTO. It will switch to a Darker offset when Tesla's screen switches to Dark mode
- Use Knob Rotate as the middle function when there is only one page
- Add an option to show the Preconditioning temperature on the Home page instead of the lightning icon

Make sure to update the App, the Commander, and the Knob to version 4.8.1 or newer to get all these new features and more.
