Seriously, Tinkla Buddy is worth a shot.

Changes to OpenPilot Configuration File

The following options must be set to true in the OpenPilot Configuration File for the IC/CID integration to work: 

enable_das_emulation = True
has_tesla_ic_integration = True

# if this is false, the corresponding setting on CID will switch to on after every restart
use_tesla_map_data = True

Download softPanda Executable

Download the softPanda executable to /var/root/bin on your CID with the following commands: 

cd /var/root/bin
curl -O https://tinkla.us/files/softPanda

Download Language Strings File

Find and download the QtCar_xx.qm specific to your language (for example English is en) on both IC and CID and place it in /var/root/lang on both systems.

English - QtCar_en.qm
German - QtCar_de.qm
Spanish - QtCar_es.qm

To get the files you can do this on both IC and CID (change the file URL to the language your car displays) 

cd /var/root/lang 
curl -O https://tinkla.us/files/QtCar_en.qm

ssh ic
cd /var/root/lang 
curl -O https://tinkla.us/files/QtCar_en.qm

Changes on IC

DISCLAMER: Improper changes to IC or CID can result in the system (and thus your car) being rederend unusable. Potentially not even Tesla can revert some of the changes if done incorrectly. You are doing this at your own risk. You alone are ultimately responsible, not the creator of this site, Comma.ai, Comma.ai community, Tesla, or anyone else.

Add the following 5 lines at the top of this special file on IC.
Make sure both language file names match your car's language. 

/bin/mount | /bin/grep -c /var/root/lang/QtCar >/dev/null || /bin/mount --bind /var/root/lang/QtCar_en.qm /usr/tesla/UI/bin/QtCar_en.qm
QCPORT=":20201"
export QCPORT
QCHPPORT=":31515"
export QCHPPORT

Changes on CID

You are doing this at your own risk. You alone are ultimately responsible, not the creator of this site, Comma.ai, Comma.ai community, Tesla, or anyone else.

CID integration (OpenPilot Menu) is currently only supported on 2019.4.2 and below.
Add the following 4 lines at the top of this special file on CID.
Make sure both language file names match your car's language. 

/bin/mount | /bin/grep -c /var/root/lang/QtCar >/dev/null || /bin/mount --bind /var/root/lang/QtCar_en.qm /usr/tesla/UI/bin/QtCar_en.qm
QCPORT=":20201"
export QCPORT

NOTE: Do NOT declare QCHPPORT on CID!!!

Updating Maps

If you have older version of maps on your CID, you might need to update them.

Startup Script

Use /var/root/scripts/startSoftPanda.sh script.

Changing the cron

In order to start the script you need to modify your cron and add the following 2 lines: 

@reboot /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --make-pidfile --oknodo --background --pidfile /var/run/softPanda.pid --exec /bin/bash /var/root/scripts/startSoftPanda.sh
*/1 * * * * /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --make-pidfile --oknodo --background --pidfile /var/run/softPanda.pid --exec /bin/bash /var/root/scripts/startSoftPanda.sh

A simple restart script

The softPanda startup script creates a lock file and prevents two restarts in less than 10 minutes to allow you to still access your car computers in the event of a mistake. To manually restart the process you have to delete the lock file and then kill the softPanda process. Or just create a bash file with this content and run it.

Optional Flags

Here are the optional flags for softPanda EtherCan Proxy 

NOTE: If you are running Tesla software 2019.16 or later, you have to enable the -fix1916 flag!
  • -runOnIc: sets the spammer to run on IC instead of CID (CID default)
  • -triggerOnCan: start the spam only when receiving a certain CAN message from EON (OFF by default)
  • -autoRestartQtCarCluster: sends command to restart QtCarCluster when app starts (OFF by default)
  • -onlyCarConfig3: sends spam only for DasHw in GTW_carConfig3 (OFF by default)
  • -spamFrequency XX: spam frequency in Hz (100Hz by default)
  • -autopilot Y: autopilot mode (1:Highway, 2:Enhanced DEFAULT, 3:SelfDrive)
  • -bridge ZZZZZ: bridge mode where the packets received on 20101 are sent to port ZZZZZ (20102-27000)
  • -hBridge ZZZZZ: bridge mode where the packets received on 31415 are sent to port ZZZZZ (31515-32000)
  • -sendAfterReceive: sends modded message right after it is received (OFF by default)
  • -bindToPort WWWWW: Binds to a certain port and local IP address for sending (OFF by default)
  • -sendDiAccStatus: Send the DI_accStatus message; experimental for now (OFF by default)
  • -modifyDiState: Modifies the DI_state message for long control showing on IC (OFF by default)
  • -includeParrot: Include data from parrot to be sent through the bridge (OFF by default)
  • -includeLb: Include data from LB to be sent through the bridge (OFF by default)
  • -forwardDebug: forward also the debug messages show in Developer Mode (OFF by default)
  • -forwardUnique: forward only unique CAN messages in each direction (OFF by default)
  • -fix1916: fix DI_Status CAN change that started with 2019.16 (OFF by default)
  • -tpmsConti: Allows tire pressure display on Baloong TPMS system, DO NOT USE ON CONTI

Help, All Screens Are Black!

It’s not uncommon to see both IC and CID black the first time you start your car after enabling everything. This is caused by the CID not receiving messages from the gateway to wake up, which in turn is caused by softPanda having either not started or crashed. (Remember in the steps above we tell the CID to only listen to the gateway on the port softPanda proxies data to it on). The car will still drive with no screens, if you push the brake and wait 30 seconds for the gateway to give up trying to contact the screens.

Quickfix: Reboot the CID using the steering wheel (sometimes the speakers give a slight pop when the reboot command is executed). If everything is setup properly, the screens should come up. Steering wheel reboots are not preferred as they aren’t graceful restarts.

Preferred fix: ssh into the CID and restart softPanda, or troubleshoot what happened and then restart it.
