For Tesla · 2× CAN
The open source Bluetooth dongle for your Tesla
DashKit plugs into your Tesla's CAN buses and opens them up to you. Control your car, build your own automations, and stream live data to your phone — all on open, community-built software.

What DashKit does
Three things: Dashboard, Automation, Controls.
Dashboard
Every signal, live on your phone
Pair over Bluetooth and turn your phone into a real-time dashboard with the DashPilot app. Live gauges, custom readouts, and every signal off the bus — rendered as you drive.
Automation
Your car reacts to context
Keep the auto wipers off the moment Autopilot or adaptive cruise engages, or map multi-finger infotainment touch gestures to actions like opening the glovebox or toggling the rear fan.
Controls
Reach controls the car already has
Read and send messages on both CAN buses. Lock and unlock, trigger functions, and reach the controls your Tesla already has — now under your command.
Automations that actually help
Turn finger taps on the screen into real controls.
Assign three-, four-, and five-finger taps on the infotainment screen to actions your Tesla hides deep in menus — pop the glovebox, toggle the rear fan, and more, all from a quick gesture. And when Autopilot or adaptive cruise engages, DashKit silences the auto wipers so they stop swiping a dry windshield.
- Three-finger tap map it to an action like opening the glovebox
- Four-finger tap toggle the rear fan or any control you reach on the bus
- Five-finger tap another gesture, another action — your rules, your car
- Auto wipers, off silenced the instant Autopilot or ACC engages, restored when you take over
The hardware
Built to live inside your Tesla
A compact, sealed module with two independent CAN interfaces, an RGB status LED, and Bluetooth Low Energy. It taps straight into the Tesla harness and disappears behind the trim — no screens to bolt on, no clutter on the dash.
- 2× CAN two independent buses
- BLE 5 wireless link to DashPilot on your phone
- ESP32-S3 with 16 MB flash and OTA updates
Why DashKit is different
The features are built by the open-source community
DashKit isn't a locked black box. The firmware and the integrations are open, so the people who actually drive these cars are the ones extending them. Every new automation, every decoded signal, every supported model makes the device better for everyone — and nobody can take that away.
Open firmware
Inspect it, build it, flash it. The device runs open software you can read and trust — no hidden behavior on your car's bus.
Community-driven
DashKit supports Tesla today, and more models land because the community adds them. Contribute a fix or a whole integration and ship it to everyone.
Yours to extend
Write your own automations and dashboards. DashKit is a platform, not a product you're locked out of.
