=== 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.

NOTE: SOFTPANDA SOFTWARE IS END OF LIFE. It is not updated for the continuous changes that Tesla does for its software. If you want to have OpenPilot-IC integration, please look at Tinkla Buddy.  

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.

SoftPanda was a piece of software that made the car's interfaces look and feel like OpenPilot shipped with the car. The IC integration ran the AutoPilot view, powered by OpenPilot. CID integration added settings for OpenPilot in the car's menu.
Additionally, softPanda added map based speed control as well as control over max speed offset.
To install and use the softPanda for IC/CID integration you had to have root access and modify important files on the IC and CID of your Tesla car. Now, all this can be achieve via Tinkla Buddy.

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 vi Tinkla Buddy: 

enable_das_emulation = True
has_tesla_ic_integration = False

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

Download Language Strings File

Because language files are changed with every release of Tesla software, these are no longer maintained or needed. Please use Tinkla Buddy.

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.

No changes needed with Tinkla Buddy.

Changes on CID

Updating Maps

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

Startup Script

Nothing needed with Tinkla Buddy.

Changing the cron
