Mirror Android to Tesla: TeslaMirror FAQ

Yes, on compatible devices. TeslaMirror 9.86 introduced Single-app Casting, which runs an app on a separate virtual display and can continue playback while the phone is locked or its display is off. It requires Android 11 or later and wireless debugging pairing. Follow the A–E checklist in the app, then choose an app on the phone or in the Tesla browser's App Launcher. See Single-app Casting setup and requirements. DRM-protected apps may still block capture.

Single-app Casting requires Android 11 or later and wireless debugging pairing. Connect the phone to trusted external Wi-Fi, allow TeslaMirror notifications, enter the six-digit pairing code through the notification, and wait for “Ready · Offline casting service connected” before switching to the vehicle hotspot setup.

Follow the Single-app Casting permissions and settings guide by phone manufacturer for Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, realme, vivo, iQOO, HUAWEI, HONOR, Pixel, and more. It includes screen-off checks and troubleshooting. Adjust extra manufacturer settings only when the symptom and your phone’s menus match.

TeslaMirror 9.90 adds Android Auto Casting inside the Tesla browser, with supported navigation and music apps. It requires Android 9 or later, an installed and working Android Auto app, and the in-app setup steps, including starting the Head unit server and granting microphone and other required permissions. It does not require wireless debugging pairing. Single-app Casting still requires Android 11 or later and wireless debugging pairing. See Android Auto setup and requirements and the 9.90 release notes.

Connect the Tesla to the Android phone's hotspot, open TeslaMirror, enable Tesla Proxy, tap Start, and open https://TSL6.com in the Tesla browser. Version 9.82 and later requires HTTPS; https://TeslaMirror.net:9999 is the direct fallback. The vehicle must have MCU2 or MCU3 hardware.

The official download is TeslaMirror on Google Play. This website does not provide a separate Android APK. Avoid third-party APK files that cannot be verified as an official release.

3.3.3.3 is an old Android TeslaMirror browser address. TeslaMirror still uses 100.99.9.9 internally as a local virtual IP, but the Tesla browser no longer supports opening it directly. Neither IP is a current user-facing connection URL. 6.6.6.6 and 7.7.7.7 belong to other mirroring apps and are not official TeslaMirror addresses. TeslaMirror 9.82 and later requires HTTPS for MJPEG, H.264, and H.265. Open https://TSL6.com, or use the direct HTTPS fallback https://TeslaMirror.net:9999.

Tesla browsers block standard private-LAN ranges such as 192.168.*.*. TeslaMirror uses a virtual IP and a local VPN tunnel so the Tesla browser can reach the web server on the Android device. The VPN does not connect to a public VPN server, redirect traffic from other apps, or collect data or logs.

This may work on some configurations, depending on your phone, third-party VPN, and network settings. Follow this startup order:

1. Open TeslaMirror first and start Tesla Proxy, its local VPN.
2. Start casting and confirm that both TeslaMirror’s VPN and browser casting work.
3. Leave TeslaMirror running in the background.
4. Then open the third-party VPN and connect it.

Bringing TeslaMirror back to the foreground may disconnect the third-party VPN again. If that happens, put TeslaMirror back in the background and restart the third-party VPN connection.

Make sure 100.99.9.9 is allowed through the third-party VPN’s direct-routing / bypass rules. Some VPNs already bypass this address through their built-in local-network rules; others require you to add it manually to the bypass or allow list.

100.99.9.9 is a routing exception, not the current browser entry address. Continue using the complete HTTPS casting address shown in the app. See the 9.90 release notes for the related improvements.

Remote Control uses Android AccessibilityService APIs such as dispatchGesture and performGlobalAction only to translate Tesla touchscreen or mouse input into device actions. Without this permission, Remote Control is unavailable. No data is collected through AccessibilityService.

No. DRM-protected apps may block video, audio, or both. This includes Netflix, YouTube TV, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and similar services.

For MCU3 (AMD Ryzen), H.265 at 720p/60 fps is recommended. Tesla software 2025.38.11 and later also makes H.265 the recommended mode on supported MCU2 vehicles. Use lower resolution or frame rate if playback is not smooth.

No. Lossless audio is available on Android 10 and later, but 96 kHz compatibility depends on the device, Android version, TeslaMirror version, and playback hardware. 48 kHz is generally well supported.

Updated September 22, 2026: Pixel 9a with Android 17 and the latest TeslaMirror app now supports 96 kHz audio in our testing. Earlier Pixel 9a tests did show problems with the older software combination. Pixel 5 also worked well in earlier tests.

An Android update may have improved the underlying audio support, but we have not isolated the cause from app updates. Update Android and TeslaMirror, test 96 kHz, and switch to 48 kHz if audio is unstable or missing. Hi-Res playback still requires compatible playback hardware.

Mirroring traffic stays inside the phone hotspot network. The Tesla may still use the phone’s cellular data for its own online services while it is connected.
