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.

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 via 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 softPanda Executable

Files are no longer maintained. Please use Tinkla Buddy.

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Because language files are changed with every release of Tesla software, these are no longer maintained or needed.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