Thanks for the request, that's a good idea, we'll explore its feasibility for implementation.

Further to my previous post, having used it for a few days now I definitely think if we can just see the list in the teslogic app and scroll up and down that would be a great advantage over trying to look down at the corner of the Tesla Screen. For those items that need a right press and more scrolling (e.g. temperature) then we will just have to use the Tesla display once we have scrolled to it.

Stephen Hunt: Sounds good enough for this point. it's better than nothing! thank you!
My suggestion is maybe to let us enter the second level menu but only show toggle option.
For ex, instead of "Open Dashcam" \ "Close Dashcam"
just display "Toggle dashcam", "Toggle acceleration mode" etc.

Elior Kirma: I think that is a good idea. Just display it as it is displayed by Tesla in the window down the bottom of the Tesla screen. Then as we scroll to the item we want, we can see the options but we will have to look at the Tesla screen if we need to see the current setting of the options. However, several of the items on the list are just a push to select and things like Temperature I really just want to increase it or decrease it a bit so I don't need to see the current value (I will already know that. Still leaves the problem of the app knowing where you are in the list when it starts. I hope they can save that value somewhere in the app/phone. I actually think this is a Tesla bug. Why would they create a place in settings where you can set the default and then not use it and just remember the last thing you used!!! Perhaps the Teslogic developers have a path to talk to Tesla and get them to make the default "sticky". Then to make it work Teslogic would just have to require the users to set a specific default (I would suggest either "none" which is the top of the list or "Glovebox" which is the bottom.

Maybe display out of sync message until the user resync the menu by scrolling all the way up\down and then you know that they are on the bottom or the top depend if they scroll all the way up or down.
About the sub menu, i think it's even easier for some of the options because when the user on sub-category with only two option, in ex, open\close, when he scroll up you know that he must be on the top option and now you achieved sync with the sub menu as well, at this point you can replace the toggle options with two options open\close until the next time.
same idea with sub menu with 3 options, he just need to scroll twice in a row to same direction to achieve sync.
it's a bit messy i agree but maybe it's would work fine for some of the user.
Unless it's too much effort from the developer side.
Anyway, keep up the good work, thanks!

I suspect this isn't going to be possible as I don't think they have access to the data, but I sure hope I am wrong. I think they have access to the scroll will clicks etc, so I started thinking about whether they could have a hard coded list that they display and interpret the scroll wheel actions to move through the list. The problem is that the car remembers your last selection and displays that first. So they don't know where you are in the list. Perhaps after using the function the user could then just scroll back to the top of the list and they could always start there (or maybe they could store your last position in your phone). Then there is the problem that some of the functions (like temperature) you click right and then scroll up and down for the selection, but they won't know what the current setting is so they can't display that. I think if they could display the list and let me scroll to my selection that alone would be useful and then I can look at the car display for the rest. It seems a bit "Heath-Robinson", anyone else have any ideas? I don't know why Tesla displays it in the bottom right corner (right hand drive car) which is the worst place for you to have to look. They could overlay the maps or the picture of the car, it is only displayed while you are using it. I also wish they would let me set the default function that it will always display first.
