Important Setup Note:
To ensure proper setup and connections, please make sure you are setting up the device out of range of your home Wi-Fi. The device is designed to allow your Tesla to prioritize your home Wi-Fi network over the DYLNK Cast Pro's Wi-Fi network. This way, when you return home after a drive, you will not have to manually reconnect your Tesla to your home Wi-Fi network, ensuring that your Tesla receives the updates it needs automatically.
Enabling Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in Your Tesla
WARNING:
Do not connect the CastPro Bluetooth network ('tsl') to your Tesla's Bluetooth. If you do, CarPlay will not pop up
Step 1: Pairing Your Smartphone via Bluetooth
-
Open Bluetooth Settings on Your Smartphone:
- On your iOS or Android device, open the Bluetooth settings.
-
Locate the DYLNK Cast Pro:
- Look for the DYLNK Cast Pro device, labeled as "tsl...," in the list of available Bluetooth devices.

Initiate Pairing:

- When prompted, ensure you press "Allow" for Favorites and Contacts.
- A pop-up will appear asking to use Apple CarPlay—make sure to press "Use CarPlay".
- For Android devices, when prompted, make sure to press "Allow Android Auto".
Please Note: Once the Bluetooth pairs, you might notice that you are no longer connected to the device via Bluetooth after a couple of seconds. This is normal, as the device will drop the Bluetooth connection after successfully connecting. This step is only to initiate the device to show its Wi-Fi network. As long as you can see the Wi-Fi network of the device in your Tesla's Wi-Fi settings, your phone does not need to stay connected via Bluetooth.
Note: The Wi-Fi network will only be discoverable after connecting to the DYLNK Cast Pro via Bluetooth.
