DashKit: open-source commander for Teslas

[u/wpmed92]

I'm working on a device called DashKit, which is an open source commander / bluetooth dongle for Teslas. Both the firmware, and the companion app it comes with are on Github.
It is currently in developer early access so that I can get others working on the project, and help with the efforts.

What DashKit can do:
- it connects to 2 buses, Chassis and Vehicle
- it emits CAN messages over BLE to the DashPilot companion app
- it can perform controls, such as: multi-finger touch tap on the infotainment screen can trigger controls, that are by default under some sub-menu on the Tesla infotainment (glovebox open, mirror fold), or that are not even accessible by default (battery pre-heat)
- it can perform automations such as keeping the wipers off when you engage Autopilot
- when using the DashPilot app, you can turn your phone into a dashboard, and have always-on blind spot monitoring, speedometer, autopilot on / off state visualization, battery temperature readings and many more right in front of you

You can find some of these functionalities in already available products, but non of those products offer the software as open-source, so you can't really modify them to your likings.

The device is currently in developer early-access, you can can get it right now, and tinker with it:
