Oh no that is not good 😢. The YONZEE is definitely broken but the unit from TOMAKER has what seems to be a mini-USB port on the inside so there might be a way for it to be flashed with an updated firmware if it breaks by a Tesla update. I can reach out to the seller if they are aware of this issue with the Tesla firmware and if they have a patch for it.
@Snow Rabbit Yeah, I went from 2022.24.8 to 2022.28.2 and I can confirm the turn signal on the TOMAKER is still working but the YONZEE didn’t handle the new Tesla software 2022.28.2 very well 🥲
The automaker is the one to have. Typical example of “less is more”. I like the dynamic showing of information. SOC% and gear indicator at stand still and speed and turn signal when on the go. Great thinking.
Hi A K I agree with your assessment. However, I wouldn’t ignore Yonzee just yet especially after the release of their “minimalist” series - roughly 10% smaller in dimension than (AU)TOMAKER but the numbers are larger at half the price! I’ve now replaced my (AU)TOMAKER with this new YONZEE. Affiliate Product Link: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dkh4iwn
I will only replace my current one when either come up with a mini LCD/OLED display, rather than this simple digital display. For now the Automaker is nicely minimalist only showing this I need whilst driving.
Great video mate! Just got my MYLR two days ago and yesterday I installed the Yonzee, it does not display the turn indicators of course which is disappointing (mainly because I didn't know the software update would cause this issue) 🙄
Hi murri1035, I didn’t know they are still selling the Yonzee 1.0. I thought they stop selling this and the only Yonzee you can buy is the Yonzee 2.0 Minimalist series. If you just purchase this recently, you can ask the seller to replace it with the newer version. Where did you buy your Yonzee from?
Great comparison. The problem is Tesla SW updates impact functionality. I had another (similar) display and the seat belt indicator stayed on permanently after a SW update and a few updates later it thought high beams were always on. Eventually I trashed it as it more misleading than helpful.
Thanks Mike. I think it boils down to the quality of the firmware on each of those products and how many indicators are available. I guess the less the better. But so far, the unit from Tomaker isn’t affected by the latest Tesla software update. I hope it stays this way with future updates 🤞
Thx for the comparison video. Really useful. Picking up my car Friday and will be ordering one soon. Might go with Yonzee one for added information displayed.
@@AutosNGizmos Hi, just got the Tomaker product, installed while removing the Yonzee one, and the Tomaker works great. I actually like it better than the Yonzee for the reasons you state. It's much smaller and I like more of a simple display. Don't need too much info just speed and turn signals really. Thanks again for doing your comparison video, it helped me purchase the Tomaker item. I understand your update states that Yonzee is selling a replacement product for much less, however I would not want to spend again for something that might again hiccup in the future. They lost my trust.
@@EVRevolution Yeah I also feel the TOMAKER is a better product all together - given they weren’t impacted by the software update. I ended up getting the “refreshed” YONZEE only because I only had to pay $6 to get it given I previously paid for the “broken” version. So I thought, why not. Waiting for the package to arrive.
Hi Doop, I uploaded a TH-cam short video a few days ago that demonstrated this. Based on my testing, Tesla software update 2022.28.2 definitely broke the Yonzee while the Tomaker is ok. Check out that video in this link 👉th-cam.com/users/shorts4vpwrZJIQWw
Actually there is a newer product called the V2. It doesnt sit inside the vent but just in front of it and also has the biggest display and most number of indicators. Check out the unboxing video here -> th-cam.com/video/tlH4d40rAZI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SEnQgVLE-icl79Be Installation and review coming up soon.
Hi cifey, I don’t think I’ve come across any instrument cluster for the Model 3/Y that offers wireless connectivity. Do you have a link to the product you can share?
@@AutosNGizmos There are bluetooth odb transmitters, so someone just needs to make it work for a tesla and sync it up reliably to a HUD on a unique frequency.
@@cifey This will certainly offer easier install because you don’t have to route the wires to dash if you dont mind using your phone to display the information while driving.
You’re welcome KiwiShoot! Just note Tesla software 2022.28.2 broke the headlight and turn signal indicators on the YONZEE but apparently, their engineers are trying to fix it.
Hi Phoenix, at around timecode 13:03 you will see me remove both screen protectors. But I must admit, it was unfortunate the Yonzee (square unit) was under more direct sunlight and I did not immediately notice that while filming. But overall, the smaller unit really has better daytime/nighttime visibility based on my view. Also please note I am not being paid by any of the manufacturer/seller of any of the products I review in my channel so my comments are all unbiased.
A comparison video and u don’t compare the number 1 thing people ask. The price? You drive at night with them beside each other with is a direct comparison but during the day you move them. Clearly showing showing favoritism. The smaller one clearly has a bug in the code that shuts off the D and back on. Would assume it’s cheaper in price as they didn’t spend the money for better coding development when the other unit displayed the D the whole time just like the factory unit.
Hi s4garo thanks for your feedback. Good point about the price. When I was comparing them it didn’t occur to me that I need to show the price of each because they are both around $80 so not a differentiating factor. But fair point because people watching the video don’t know the price of each to begin with. With regards to the “D” indicator, at 18:31 you will see I explained it’s actually part of the programming. iIt hides as you accelerate past 20kph and shows up when you decelerate below 10 kph helping you focus on the speed without getting distracted from other indicators. When I was filming with it during the day and the sun was in full force, it was hard to tell right then and there the Yonzee was positioned badly. But in the end as I explained in the video, I removed the Yonzee because there is no way I would slot that in the vent for a long period of time because it could potentially damage the plastic on the dash given the Yonzee was made of metal. And lastly, I bought both products using my own money and if there is bias towards one product, that’s purely based on my personal judgement. Note that shortly after filming this video, one of the Tesla software updates broke this Yonzee and as a result, it was discontinued and replaced with the Yonzee 2.0 minimalist series which I ended up using for several months. A few months later, I found another new product to replace it. This product niche is very fluid at the moment it’s crazy! Cheers!
Hi i am interested in buying the tomaker one but in the video i did not see where u hid the cable towards the end of the video when you are driving. i am concerned about the seamlessness of the product
Hi 3Tails, yeah sorry about that. This video is not meant to be a “How to Install” video, just a comparison between two products. There is a way to keep the wire tidy by either (a) pushing excess wire to the back of the vent or (b) removing the dashboard and taping it inside. I will do (b) and post a video. Hopefully by the time you get the product, the install video is already live 😊
Turn signals no longer display after Tesla update 2022.28.1, i am afraid the future update could brick it.

yeah my turn signal doesn't display anymore :'(
@Snow Rabbit Yeah, I went from 2022.24.8 to 2022.28.2 and I can confirm the turn signal on the TOMAKER is still working but the YONZEE didn’t handle the new Tesla software 2022.28.2 very well 🥲
@@DJIkigai What Tesla firmware do you have?

I just got the Tomaker! wonderful upgrade and my neck doea not have to stay turned to the screen anymore!!
Hi Sammy, excellent choice!
That is weird about the day and night mode. Definitely should be the other way around. Amazing deep dive again for people thinking about it.
Yes very weird indeed and I hope others will find this video equally useful as you did. Are you a DIY’er yourself?

Hey Jean, yeah you cant go wrong either one you pick. Congrats on getting your new Model Y!
Thanks for the short video. Think I will buy the Tomaker. Hey, the Yonzee only cost me $40 bucks so not a big loss.
Yeah these products are very affordable its hard to justify not to have them in the 3/Y 😁

Installation and review coming up soon.
The new Yonzee is better than both of these and also has a range readout. It is also the size of the smaller one.
Nice! Thanks for letting me know. Time to upgrade 😊
wireless setup would be a killer app if it were reliable.

does this block air flow??
