Mars Mode

Hands OFF, Eyes ON for FSD, by @spleck

What is Mars Mode?

Using a White Command Panda and a Raspberry Pi 4 you can simulate steering wheel control inputs, such as max speed and volume adjustments, by injecting signals onto the CAN bus. This confirms the time interval based steering wheel torque nags, but allows the vehicle to continue to monitor for driver attention using the internal cabin camera.

Note: You can use a Pi 3b, but it will require both a USB-A to USB-A cable, as well as a second USB power connection from the car.

Mars Mode Source UPDATED!

This is the repo for the installer and example scripts for interacting with your Tesla automatically. Mars Mode scripts support all Model 3/Y and 2021+ Model S/X.

Install Guide UPDATED!

Coming Soon! A step by step HOWTO guide on how to install the required software onto the pi, flash the comma panda to allow output mode, and an example script to adjust the volume automatically.

S3XY Mars Mode

This is a step by step video guide for an alternative method of accomplishing Hands Off, Eyes On for FSD Beta that is less technical and works "out of the box" using S3XY Buttons or S3XY Knob. S3XY Mars Mode is compatible with all Model 3/Y and 2021+ Model S/X

TSL6 Mod Chip

Coming Soon! Review and install guide for TSL6 upgraded mod chip from TesLaunch.net, Use Code: KEVIN15! Similar to the previous TSL2/3 mod chips, this chip includes functionality to automate volume adjustments to eliminate interval torque nag. It also includes other bonus features, and installs in the rear console ODB interface instead of requiring removal of the airbag. Stay tuned! TSL6 chip supports 2019-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2024 Model Y

TSL2/3 Mod Chip

This is a install guide of the TSL2/TSL3 mod chip available from TesLaunch.net. Use Code: KEVIN15. This chip doesn't use the CAN bus for the signaling, but does match Mars Mode in spirit, automating steering control inputs (scoll wheel volume or max speed) to eliminate interval torque nag. TSL2 chip supports 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2024 Model Y. TSL3 chip supports 2024 Model 3 (Highland) and 2016+ Model S/X

Legacy Install Guide

A step by step HOWTO guide on how to install the required software onto the pi, flash the comma panda to allow output mode, and an example script to adjust the volume automatically.

Note: This install uses the PiOS Legacy images. An updated video is coming in "two weeks" to support the newer images, as well as greatly simplifying the process.
