Love the car. Hate juggling two maps at every detour?
Before you change the Tesla, change how your familiar navigation apps reach its screen. SpaceBox is a removable adapter for the existing display, with supported CarPlay and Android Auto and no second driver screen to mount.
If you want to “use my familiar navigation apps,” the closed lane is the moment that makes it matter. Waze, Google Maps and Apple Music offer CarPlay interfaces; SpaceBox brings a supported CarPlay connection to the Tesla display. The route and music you choose on your phone belong together on that screen.
If “just want my apps on the screen” is the goal, a mirrored phone image is only part of the picture. SpaceBox provides the CarPlay or Android Auto driving interface through USB hardware, phone pairing and the Tesla browser/interface. Manual firmware updates maintain compatibility after Tesla software changes. There is a wired phone option too; allow for setup-dependent response and reconnection behavior, and test your own route and call audio while parked.
If you hate plugging in cables every time, wireless phone pairing is the part to notice. The adapter stays connected to the car while the compatible phone connects without a phone cable. The cabin payoff comes through in Mark’s published words: Now my car looks complete!
The useful change is your chosen interface on the display, without mounting another screen.
Name the part of the drive you want to improve
At $139.99, you buy the adapter once, with no SpaceBox subscription and a 2-year product warranty, plus free shipping. Phone data and paid apps stay separate. David Mercer wrote, This is my second set, this time for my wife.
His repeat purchase is one concrete reason to read the owner experiences alongside the terms. Confirm AMD Ryzen and your exact build before buying; Australia is excluded.
Compare these routes according to the experience you actually want.
- A phone mount keeps the interface on the phone. It may be the simplest option if the position works for you.
- Another adapter needs its own exact compatibility and support check. A low price alone does not prove poor performance.
- The native Tesla interface has its own vehicle features. Keep those separate from the phone interface an adapter adds.
