For Tesla · 2× CAN-FD
The open CAN-FD brain for your Tesla
DashKit plugs into your Tesla's CAN buses and opens them up to you. Control your car, build your own automations, and stream live data to your phone — all on open, community-built software.

What DashKit does
Three things: Dashboard, Automation, Controls.
Dashboard
Every signal, live on your phone
Pair over Bluetooth and turn your phone into a real-time dashboard with the DashPilot app. Live gauges, custom readouts, and every signal off the bus — rendered as you drive.
Automation
Your car reacts to context
Keep the auto wipers off the moment Autopilot or adaptive cruise engages, run rules on the bus, and chain conditions into behaviors the factory never shipped.
Controls
Reach controls the car already has
Read and send messages on both CAN-FD buses. Lock and unlock, trigger functions, and reach the controls your Tesla already has — now under your command.
The automation people buy it for
Auto wipers, off the instant you engage Autopilot.
Tesla's auto wipers love to swipe a dry windshield while you're on Autopilot or adaptive cruise — distracting, and impossible to disable from the factory. DashKit watches the bus and shuts them off automatically the moment you engage, then hands control back when you take over.
- Detects engagement reads Autopilot / ACC state straight off the CAN bus
- Silences the wipers no more phantom swipes on a dry screen
- Hands control back wipers return to normal the moment you disengage
The hardware
Built to live inside your Tesla
A compact, sealed module with two independent CAN-FD interfaces, an RGB status LED, and Bluetooth Low Energy. It taps straight into the Tesla harness and disappears behind the trim — no screens to bolt on, no clutter on the dash.
- 2× CAN-FD independent buses, up to 64-byte frames
- BLE 5 wireless link to DashPilot on your phone
- ESP32-S3 with 16 MB flash and OTA updates
Why DashKit is different
The features are built by the open-source community
DashKit isn't a locked black box. The firmware and the integrations are open, so the people who actually drive these cars are the ones extending them. Every new automation, every decoded signal, every supported model makes the device better for everyone — and nobody can take that away.
Open firmware
Inspect it, build it, flash it. The device runs open software you can read and trust — no hidden behavior on your car's bus.
Community-driven
DashKit supports Tesla today, and more models land because the community adds them. Contribute a fix or a whole integration and ship it to everyone.
Yours to extend
Write your own automations and dashboards. DashKit is a platform, not a product you're locked out of.
