Tesla Model Y · CarPlay
Tesla Model Y CarPlay installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Tesla Model Y generation we see: Original (2022–2024): Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto through a box that runs in the car's browser: the car joins the box's Wi-Fi, CarPlay fills a browser window on the main screen and sound goes over Bluetooth; Juniper (2025 on): The same browser-based box on the 15.4-inch screen, the rear screen unaffected; or a slim CarPlay display on the dash top for owners who want it in front of them. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.
By generation
CarPlay on each Model Y: how we do it.
Find your years in the first two columns. The factory system decides the route, and the route decides the price — send the reg if you are not sure which one you have.
| Generation | Years | Factory system | How we do it | From (incl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original | 2022–2024 | 15-inch touchscreen on MCU3 (AMD Ryzen); ultrasonic sensors dropped from late 2022 builds; no CarPlay or Android Auto on any Tesla | Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto through a box that runs in the car's browser: the car joins the box's Wi-Fi, CarPlay fills a browser window on the main screen and sound goes over Bluetooth | N/A — not applicable |
| Juniper | 2025 on | 15.4-inch touchscreen on MCU3 with the 8-inch rear screen and a factory ambient light strip across the dash and doors; no ultrasonic sensors, no CarPlay | The same browser-based box on the 15.4-inch screen, the rear screen unaffected; or a slim CarPlay display on the dash top for owners who want it in front of them | N/A — not applicable |

FAQ
Tesla Model Y CarPlay: questions people ask.
Answers for Model Y owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppHow does CarPlay work in a Model Y when Tesla does not offer it?
Through a box rather than a software change. The box makes its own Wi-Fi network, the car joins it, and the Tesla browser shows CarPlay or Android Auto in a window on the main screen, with calls and music over Bluetooth. Every right-hand-drive Model Y has the AMD MCU3, so it runs smoothly on both the original car and the Juniper. It plugs into the 12 V socket or is hardwired out of sight.
Is there an option that does not live in the browser?
Yes. A slim CarPlay display sits on the dash top in front of the driver and runs CarPlay and Android Auto on its own screen, with sound through the car over Bluetooth, so the Tesla screen keeps the map and the car controls. It suits owners who want CarPlay where a normal instrument cluster would be. Both options come out without a trace.
How much does CarPlay cost on a Tesla Model Y?
The price depends on the generation and what the car already has. Original (2022–2024): Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto through a box that runs in the car's browser: the car joins the box's Wi-Fi, CarPlay fills a browser window on the main screen and sound goes over Bluetooth. Juniper (2025 on): The same browser-based box on the 15.4-inch screen, the rear screen unaffected; or a slim CarPlay display on the dash top for owners who want it in front of them. Send your reg on WhatsApp and we quote the same day, before you book.
Which Tesla Model Y years can have CarPlay?
Original, built 2022–2024 (15-inch touchscreen on MCU3 (AMD Ryzen); ultrasonic sensors dropped from late 2022 builds; no CarPlay or Android Auto on any Tesla): Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto through a box that runs in the car's browser: the car joins the box's Wi-Fi, CarPlay fills a browser window on the main screen and sound goes over Bluetooth. Juniper, built 2025 on (15.4-inch touchscreen on MCU3 with the 8-inch rear screen and a factory ambient light strip across the dash and doors; no ultrasonic sensors, no CarPlay): The same browser-based box on the 15.4-inch screen, the rear screen unaffected; or a slim CarPlay display on the dash top for owners who want it in front of them.
How long does CarPlay take on a Tesla Model Y?
Original: two to four hours; Juniper: two to four hours. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Model Y in the morning and collect it the same day.

Original: the 15-inch touchscreen on MCU3 (AMD Ryzen); ultrasonic sensors dropped from late 2022 builds; no CarPlay or Android Auto on any Tesla and its controls stay; the box sits behind the trim and is switched from the factory buttons. Juniper: the 15.4-inch touchscreen on MCU3 with the 8-inch rear screen and a factory ambient light strip across the dash and doors; no ultrasonic sensors, no CarPlay and its controls stay; the box sits behind the trim and is switched from the factory buttons.
