The Ctrl-Bar 2 gives your Tesla back physical controls. It mounts under the centre screen with 3M adhesive — no tools, no cutting, no permanent modification — and connects directly to the car over Bluetooth Low Energy as an authorised virtual key.

• Eight physical buttons, numbered 1–8, each freely assignable in the Ctrl App. The change goes live on the bar instantly — nothing to save or restart.
• Two precision-milled aluminium knobs with 12 detents per rotation. Each wheel cycles between temperature, fan speed* and wipers*. Press the two buttons nearest that wheel together to switch mode.
• Context-aware displays that surface the right function at the right moment and change between parked and driving.
• Integrated down-facing ambient LEDs with a light sensor that dims displays and lighting automatically as the cabin darkens. You can override this with a fixed brightness in the app.

Functions you can map:

• Sleeps with the car so it does not keep the vehicle awake, and reconnects automatically when you return.
• Over-the-air firmware updates through the app, with automatic rollback to the last working firmware if an update is interrupted.

* Requires the Ctrl-Bridge.

You do not — the Ctrl-Bar works on its own. The Bridge unlocks the functions that Bluetooth alone cannot reach.

Tesla's Bluetooth interface only exposes a subset of the car's controls. The Ctrl-Bridge plugs into the vehicle's OBD connector through a supplied Y-splitter, so the car's own OBD connection stays intact. It reads and writes the CAN bus directly, then links wirelessly to the Ctrl-Bar.

That adds:

• Wipers, fan speed, mirrors, glovebox, regenerative braking and pedal map as assignable functions.
• Fan speed and wipers as scroll-wheel modes. Without a Bridge, the wheels only control temperature.
• The Ctrl-Stripe turn-signal indicator, which reads the car's indicators directly from the CAN bus.
• Live vehicle data for the app.

Functions that need a Bridge stay visible in the app but are greyed out until one is paired, so nothing disappears — it just is not selectable. Everything else on the Ctrl-Stripe, including welcome and exit animations, alerts and ambient light, works with the Ctrl-Bar alone.

Tesla Model 3 and Model Y — both pre-refresh cars and the refreshed Highland and Juniper generations. The hardware differs between screen sizes, so pick the variant that matches your car at checkout.

Not sure which screen you have? Measure the display diagonally, or check the model year on your registration document. If you are still unsure, send us your VIN and we will confirm before your order ships.

The Ctrl-Bridge also ships with a front or rear harness kit. Install the harness that matches your car, since the OBD connector location differs by model year. The Ctrl-Stripe is the same part for all supported cars.

Around 10 minutes for the Ctrl-Bar on its own, and 20–30 minutes if you also fit the Ctrl-Bridge and Ctrl-Stripe. No tools, no cutting and no trips to a workshop.

The Ctrl-Bar mounts under the centre screen with 3M adhesive, the Ctrl-Bridge plugs into the OBD connector through the supplied Y-splitter, and the Ctrl App walks you through pairing the bar with your car.

Read the full installation instructions — step by step, with photos for each model. Every kit also ships with a printed quick-start guide.

Nothing is cut, spliced or drilled. The Ctrl-Bar attaches with 3M adhesive and the Ctrl-Bridge uses a Y-splitter on the existing OBD connector, so the car's own diagnostic port stays available. Every part can be removed again.

The Ctrl-Bar controls the car through Tesla's own published Bluetooth interface, using an authorised virtual key you approve yourself with your key card. It sends the same commands your phone does — it does not modify vehicle software or unlock features you have not paid for.

Greenmission AS is an approved Tesla third-party supplier, and the Ctrl-Platform is covered by a granted patent in the EU, USA, China, the UK and Australia.

As with any accessory, Tesla can decline warranty on a fault it can show the accessory caused. Since the installation is reversible and leaves no trace, that risk is very small — and our own warranty covers our hardware regardless.

No. The Ctrl-Bar follows the car into sleep instead of polling it. When the car sleeps, the bar sleeps; when you unlock the car, it wakes and reconnects on its own.

This is deliberate. Many OBD accessories keep a Tesla awake by querying the bus continuously, which is what causes overnight vampire drain. The Ctrl-Bridge listens on the CAN bus and only transmits when you actually press something, then powers down with the vehicle.

You should see no measurable change in standby consumption or 12 V battery health.

We ship worldwide from two warehouses — one in the United States and one in the Netherlands — so your order is sent from whichever is closest to you.

Order before the end of the working day and your parcel is picked and dispatched the same business day. You get a tracking link by email as soon as it leaves the warehouse.

EU and Norwegian orders are delivered with duties and VAT settled, so there is nothing to pay on arrival. Customers outside the EU, Norway and the USA may be charged local import duties.
