Rear Passenger Controls

57

Now Implemented!

Description

Allow rear passengers to control their own heated seats, and maybe HVAC and music as well.

Competitive/Pricing/Notes

Most cars with rear heated seats have controls that rear passengers can reach. Some have separate HVAC zone and controls as well. A small touchscreen would be a super solution, very extendable with firmware, and fits Tesla’s MO.

Status

Implemented with the new rear touch display with the mid-2021 S/X.

Using a mouse to control the central display via USB has been disabled with the release of version 18.18.x

Giving them control through the App is no good either, as that means the driver/owner has to had their phone to the passenger(s) unlocked and/or give the passenger(s) the code to unlock their phone. Actual controls in the back would be much more preferable, and easier to use for the less tech-savvy passenger.

Note: there's a very simple and cheap retrofit here ... get a wireless touchpad, and plug it into the USB.  Works a treat.

Such a touch-display could even be retrofitted for existing vehicles. :)
