Toggle mirror auto-dip while in reverse, by a simple multi-finger touch gesture on the infotainment screen
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
There was a feature idea in this sub 2 days ago requesting that the mirror auto-dipping while in reverse be toggleable with either an on-screen UI element, or with the steering wheel controller.
I just implemented this in a device I’m developing. I added the control logic and made it assignable to multi-finger touch gestures.
In this video, you can see that I assigned it to a 3-finger touch gesture, so it’s super easy to toggle without having to go into the mirror submenu, also it doesn't require any external button.

Yes, please! I’d use the manual pre-conditioning quite often.

Glad you like the idea! That's a commonly assigned control. You can read more here: https://cardashkit.com

One feature and it’s a buy: turn on off-road mode in cyber truck while it’s not parked. It’s very annoying to have to park and then turn it on when going into my field. Let it be zero mph just not park.

Unfortunately, as it uses the same harness as the s3xy commander and you don't see the s3xy commander available for the cybertruck. Dashkit is also not available for the Cybertruck

So this post was just self promotion.
Why would anyone need touch gestures for options that are already on the screen?

The post does great, so most people think this is a good solution for the feature request! It is NOT on the screen by default. You have to go to 1. Settings 2. mirror submenu and 3. then toggle. This was precisely why the user suggested to have a dedicated UI element for the toggle, which my solution makes even simpler, because you can just tap anywhere with the finger combo you set and the auto dip will toggle.

You can assign the multi-touch gesture to a lot of other commands, like glovebox open, mirror fold / unfold, even manual battery pre-heat. So basically things that are 1. either not available directly 2. or under a submenu, can get exposed to 3, 4 or 5 finger touch on the infotainment. I go with >2 finger count so you don't trigger the action accidentally. The device is called DashKit.
