Coming Soon
Tinkla Buddy is now in beta stage. Info coming soon!
Creating the SD card
- On Windows PCs you can use Win32DiskImager to create to burn the image to the SD card for your Tinkla Buddy.
- On Linux flavors (including Mac OS) you can just use the dd command.
dd if=tinkla_buddy.img of=/dev/dse status=progress
where tinkla_buddy.img is the name of the disk image you downloaded from this site and /dev/sde is the device corresponding to your SD card mounted on Linux.
Disk Images
Please select the appropriate image for your device.
Device | Image | MD5sum |
---|---|---|
R1S H5 | v1.22-H5 (built 03/22/2020) | 77f1c932262e44b9267dd7a85d87c969 |
R1S H3 | v1.22-H3 (built 03/22/2020) | 38181aa0f508f2e599806e9a94ade3ca |
Note: the image file is very large (650+ Mb compressed) and will take some time to download. Also, depending on the speed of your SD card, it may take a long time to burn.
History
v1.22
- Fully redesigned networking stack for faster response on boot, activation and interaction
- Now Tinkla Buddy can be installed between IC and MCU (IC <--> Buddy <--> MCU) or between MCU and APE (MCU <--> Buddy <--> APE) allowing it to work on both MCU1 and MCU2 cars.
- Auto-detection of MCU type (Tegra vs Intel)
- Auto-detection of AP type (pre-AP, AP1, AP2, AP2.5, AP3)
- Auto-detection of installation location
- Improved WiFi stability
v1.21
- Fixes issue with starting persistence mode
- LEDs now show status of tinklaBuddy and availability of valid cert
v1.20
- Menu button trigger for Tinkla Menu for older (LIN based) steering wheel controls
- Fixes brightness control
- Resolves issue with crash when car would go in sleep mode
Buddy Installation
The hardest part of installing a Tinkla Buddy is finding an always-on power source. The three most viable options are (a) if you have a Tesla with the Cold Weather package there is a fuse box near the accelerator which makes this a 30 minute install, (b) if you have a fuse box behind the passenger kick panel (2016 and later) and you'll need to re-crimp your 12v red wire for an hour install, or (c) if you don't have a fuse box in the cabin pull a wire through a gasket on the firewall behind the washer fluid reservoir in the Frunk which can take 1-2 hours.
For those getting the Buddy for Beta testing, you need to send @BogGyver#9177 your VIN, so he can add it to his server.
Power
Based on your Tesla Model and included packages, you'll want to follow the corresponding installation guide for Power. We'll need a 12v constant power supply. Places like the USB outlets or 12v accessoryoutlet is no good because those switch off when the car is "off".

Tesla w/Cold Weather Package (Fuse Box in cabin)
If you have a Tesla with the Cold Weather package then there is a fuse box near the accelerator which makes this a 30 minute install.
Tesla S or X built 2016+ (Fuse Box in cabin)
If you have a 20016 or later Tesla then there should be a fuse box behind the passenger kick panel and you'll need to re-crimp your 12v red wire whhich will make this about an hour install.
Tesla w/o Fuse Box in Cabin
If you don't have a fuse box in the cabin then pull a wire through a gasket on the firewall behind the washer fluid reservoir in the Frunk. Depending on your method of poking a hole in the gasket and your method of pulling your 16-18 gauge wire through your hole, this can take between 1-2 hours if not longer.
