I also just got the dash but no idea what to do.
there is a purple wheel and a purple door to the right.

but no matter which direction i turn the whell, the door doesnt open.
dashing at the wheel shortly lifts the door up a tiny bit but it comes right back down..
I have no clue what to do here :-/

Dash repeatedly on the right side, the purple door should come up.

Hello i saw the video and Can Say that you're doing it right, it seems like your facing a unexpected bug

We think this Can be Linked to the hardware you have and so  WE have to adapt for it, Can you tell me what is your CPU and your GPU ? This info will help us to track the bug

I apologize for the frustration you got on this

That is really interesting.  Is the below area possible with just the dash upgrade? I seemed to have tried everything.
