If you drive a Tesla and live on your phone, you know the routine: cable in, phone on the mount, open the maps. It works, but it is clumsy, and the big screen in front of you never knows what your phone is doing.

Here are seven reasons Tesla owners are adding CarPlay with Space Box.

Hear what your phone says, on the screen you already look at
01
Reason 1 of 7

Your Maps, Music and Messages Appear on the Tesla's Own Screen

Space Box adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the screen that is already in front of you. You get the navigation you know, your own playlists and your messages read out loud. It works wirelessly or with a cable, so you choose whichever you prefer.

Reason 2 of 7

No More Phone Mount Sliding, Blocking the View or Leaving Marks

Mounts slip in the summer heat, cover part of the windshield and leave rings on the dash. When your apps live on the big screen, the mount goes into a drawer, and you stop looking down at a small screen to find your next turn.

★★★★★

Reason 3 of 7

Plug It In and You Are Done: No Tools, No Permanent Changes

Plug Space Box into the USB port and follow three short steps: join its Wi-Fi network, open the setup link in the Tesla browser and pair your phone over Bluetooth. No tools, no wiring and nothing permanent. The install guide comes as a PDF and a video.

Reason 4 of 7

Ask Siri or Google Assistant Instead of Tapping

Calls, texts, music and navigation by voice, the same way you do it on your phone. Your hands stay on the wheel and you do not have to dig through menus while you drive.

Reason 5 of 7

YouTube, Netflix and Screen Mirroring Are Built In

Waiting in a parking lot or charging at a Supercharger? YouTube and Netflix are built in, and you can mirror your phone, tablet or laptop wirelessly. Save the video for when you are parked.
