Tesla screen mirroring FAQ

Yes. TslaMirror for iOS and TeslaMirror for Android display the phone screen in the Tesla in-car browser over the phone's private local hotspot connection. The documented vehicle requirement is MCU2 or MCU3 hardware. Use the platform links above for exact setup steps.

Connect the Tesla to the iPhone Personal Hotspot, open TslaMirror, enable Proxy, tap Start and Start Broadcast, then open https://TslaMirror.com in the Tesla browser. Keep the iPhone unlocked while mirroring. Note that TslaMirror.com, without the letter “e” after “T”, is different from the official product website TeslaMirror.com. Compatibility depends on MCU2 or MCU3 hardware rather than the model name alone; see the iOS setup instructions.

Connect the Tesla to the Android phone's hotspot, open TeslaMirror, turn on Tesla Proxy, tap Start, and open https://TSL6.com in the Tesla browser. All current mirroring modes use HTTPS; https://TeslaMirror.net:9999 is the direct fallback. See the Android setup instructions for hotspot and video-mode guidance.

No. TslaMirror does not turn the Tesla browser into a native AirPlay or Apple CarPlay receiver. It uses iOS Screen Broadcast and a local hotspot connection to display the iPhone or iPad screen inside the Tesla browser.

The current documented requirement is MCU2 (Intel Atom) or MCU3 (AMD Ryzen) hardware with a working in-car browser. A vehicle model name or model year alone does not confirm its infotainment hardware, so check the vehicle's hardware and follow the platform-specific requirements instead of relying only on a Model 3, Model Y, Model S, or Model X label.

First, while safely parked, complete the normal front-display preparation for TslaMirror on iOS or TeslaMirror on Android and confirm that the app is ready to mirror. The following workaround is intended for Tesla rear displays that do not provide the same direct browser entry as the front display:

1. On the Tesla rear display, open the built-in YouTube app.
2. Search for the exact channel name TeslaMirror Support and open the channel.
3. Tap the TeslaMirror.com website link in the channel description.
4. On the website, use the connection link shown for iOS or Android, as appropriate.

The channel is TeslaMirror Support on YouTube. This proposed procedure applies to both TslaMirror for iOS and TeslaMirror for Android.

Not yet verified: We have not been able to test this procedure on a compatible Tesla rear display. The YouTube interface, ability to open external links, and rear-display browser behavior may vary by Tesla model, region, and software version. Treat this as an unconfirmed workaround rather than guaranteed rear-display support.

Safety: Complete all setup, testing, and troubleshooting only while the vehicle is safely parked. The driver must never operate or be distracted by either display while the vehicle is moving. Any rear-seat use must follow the vehicle's warnings and applicable regional requirements.

TslaMirror for iOS and TeslaMirror for Android have no additional regional restrictions and can work wherever a suitable browser is available. However, complete all app setup and testing only while the vehicle is safely parked. The driver must never operate the phone or the Tesla browser while the vehicle is moving. Browser availability does not make driver interaction safe or permitted.

Tesla's in-car browser availability in Drive mode varies according to regional requirements. In a small number of regions, the Tesla browser is unavailable while the vehicle is moving, so both apps can be used through the in-car browser only while parked. Based on the information currently available to us, these regions include Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. This list may be incomplete and may change with regional requirements, Tesla software, or vehicle configuration.

In most regions, the Tesla browser may remain available in Drive mode. Before driving, and only while safely parked, select the phone hotspot in the Tesla Wi-Fi settings and enable “Remain Connected in Drive”. Check the actual Drive-mode browser support of your Tesla and the applicable requirements in your region before purchasing TslaMirror or TeslaMirror. Always follow the vehicle's warnings and regional requirements. If interaction is permitted while the vehicle is moving, it should be performed only by a passenger and never by the driver.

The local VPN works around Tesla browser restrictions on standard private-network addresses so the browser can reach the phone. It does not connect to a public VPN server. Mirroring traffic stays inside the phone hotspot network, although the Tesla may still use the phone's cellular data for its own online services.

Download TslaMirror for iOS from the Apple App Store and TeslaMirror for Android from Google Play. This website does not provide a separate Android APK. Avoid third-party APK packages that cannot be verified as an official release.

240.3.3.3 is still used internally as the iOS app's local virtual IP, but the Tesla browser no longer supports opening it directly. 3.3.3.3 is an old Android browser address. 100.99.9.9 is still used internally as the Android app's local virtual IP, but the Tesla browser no longer supports opening it directly either. None of these three IP addresses is a current user-facing connection URL. 6.6.6.6 and 7.7.7.7 are associated with other mirroring apps and are not official TslaMirror or TeslaMirror addresses. Current users should open https://TslaMirror.com for iOS, or https://TSL6.com with https://TeslaMirror.net:9999 as the Android HTTPS fallback.

DRM-protected apps may block screen or audio capture. Netflix is not supported, and services such as YouTube TV, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, or protected live-TV apps may also block video, audio, or both. See the platform FAQ for tested compatibility details.
