Impressed by the rear touchscreen of the design-refresh Tesla Model S and Model X and you own a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y and miss this feature? An aftermarket Tesla accessories maker Hansshow has the answer to your desire.
Now you can install a touchscreen display for entertainment and climate control functions for the rear passengers in your Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles.
In addition to giving your rear passengers be it your kids, family, or friends entertainment options on the go — this 8.8-inch LCD screen also provides a more premium look to the interior of your Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
This Tesla Model Y/3 rear infotainment screen by Hansshow runs on Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake). And seamlessly integrates with the vehicle’s climate control system to adjust airflow and temperature for the backseat passengers (see video below).
According to Hansshow, the software of this rear Model 3/Y screen is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay so that you can enjoy your phone, favorite apps, and streaming services on the go.
The rear Model 3/Y screen by Hansshow/HAutoPart.com isn’t just about fun, you can also access individual seat heating controls from the interface.

Gameplay
Thanks to the Android 11 OS, all the Google PlayStore video games are playable on this aftermarket Tesla Model 3/Y rear touchscreen display.
Games like Beach Buggy Racing which Tesla has made available on the front center display will be playable on the rear screen as well. If I get a chance, I would play Temple Run on the rear screen to enjoy my Tesla ride in a Model Y or Model 3 backseat.
Tesla has not yet enabled video games on the rear screen of the Tesla Model S and Model X but with this screen in your Model 3/Y, you can brag about it to your friends.
Installation
The most interesting aspect of this Tesla Model 3/Y rear center screen is the seamless integration and easy installation. Just like the rear screen of a Model S and X, it sits between the front two seats facing the backseat passengers.
With the help of the installation manual (PDF below), you can install this screen yourself but I think it would be better if you call Hansshow Tech at +1 (949 358-4793 if you’re in the United States for a clean install by a professional.
Getting the installation done right is the important first step to getting the screen unit working perfectly.
