Tesla is bringing a new feature called “Screenshare” to its vehicles through Software Update 2025.38. This discovery was made by well-known Tesla hacker Green, who found new code pointing to a remote screen sharing service. The update will let owners share their vehicle’s center display remotely, but the details about how it will work are still limited.
The new service will allow a live view of the car’s main screen from another device. When it is activated, a notification appears on the display, and a four-digit PIN connects the session. The system is still in early testing, so it is expected that Tesla will add more security layers before release. For now, the PIN is static and changes each time the car restarts, making it a temporary form of protection.
This tool looks similar to the remote screen support used by major tech firms. It could let Tesla’s support team help customers resolve interface problems without needing a service visit. A technician could see what the driver sees and walk them through a fix over the phone. This will make UI troubleshooting easier since reports and logs alone often don’t show what is happening on the screen.
The feature could help Tesla’s growing Robotaxi fleet too. During remote monitoring, support teams could view what the vehicle’s on-screen visualization looks like. This would help operators step in if one of the self-driving vehicles gets stuck or behaves unexpectedly. It might even reduce downtime by allowing cars to return to service faster after small software issues.
Some Tesla fans believe Screenshare will be useful for recording and streaming. Being able to view or record the center screen directly could help creators show real-time Full Self-Driving (FSD) visuals, maps, and interface data. The feature may become popular for people who document their FSD experiences online.
Compatibility across hardware
According to what Green found, the feature works on both AMD Ryzen and Intel Atom-powered vehicles. So, Owners of older Model S, X, 3, and Y vehicles should also gain access once Tesla activates the function across all systems.
Security and privacy
Security will likely improve before public release. Tesla’s initial code uses a simple four-digit PIN, but that is not enough for a final deployment. This could include end-to-end encryption, single-use access codes, and clearer on-screen alerts when the feature is active. A red border, similar to what Service Mode uses, might appear to show that screen sharing is on.
When it may roll out
The Screenshare service is part of update 2025.38, which began rolling out globally in October. Even though the code is already inside the update, the feature remains turned off for users. It is common for Tesla to include early versions of new tools in updates months before activating them for the public. A full launch may follow once security and privacy testing is complete.
The same update added several other improvements, such as new scroll wheel shortcuts, updated dashcam features, and profile lock options. Still, Screenshare stands out because of how it could change remote support and fleet management in future Tesla vehicles.
