I was in the exact same boat as you. 2018 M3P, October build here. Failed around the 70k mile mark. Not like I needed the extra charging but don't like to leave things in a broken state as well. And hear possibly the other bus could fail leaving you with absolutely no AC charging. Luckily I...

Funny enough I don't have any of these issues on my 2018 M3P. So I'm assuming it has something to do with the way it's officially getting power. As I don't have that plug that the official retrofit connects to since mine is a 2018. I have the official power trunk retrofit kit that I bought...

Yeah that's kinda BS if they won't port over some of the newer features over to the V2. I don't see why they couldn't as I'm sure it's just software. If they don't, at the very least they should offer a upgrade program. Turn in your old device for the newer version at discount and pay the...

That's what I thought I want all those features though on my current V2 device

Lol, I saw this like 4 days ago on their site just randomly checking up on them. I have had the V2 device for a year And was like wtf is this new device. Why is no one talking about this. This looks like a big deal and no one is talking about it 🤷 I didn't notice that they claim another 50hp...

Lights would not be under a secured flag you would be able to change those no problem. I've changed my regular 2018 headlights to a 2022 matrix headlights with no issue. I don't believe Tesla would secure a safety related feature like lights. Just paid features.

If you're asking about changing the config ID for heated steering wheel. No it cannot be changed, It is a secured flag that only Tesla can unlock. That is unless your AP computer is a certain year then it can possibly be rooted but not without requiring a hardware exploit and a good amount of...

No it is not a secured flag. Mainly anything that's purchasable is a secured flag IE: EAP/FSD, heated seats/heated steering wheel

Ah, I didn't think about the smart summons not being available to non USS cars. That makes sense even though I've never used it in any practical manner.

Then why can't they just go ahead and disable them already. They disabled the radar pretty easily a while back. So go ahead and disable the USS I mean it would be pretty nice to have the USS work in conjunction with the so-called Tesla vision. But since Tesla vision is literally just the cameras...

Okay I thought That's exactly what was happening you always have to redeploy firmware after you make a change. Just good practice to do so. Would this happen to be on a Intel MCU? Would be nice to change that gateway config just temporarily until Tesla gets it sorted on infusing the USS with...

Wtf, that's crazy Why is that

Oh wow, If it could be turned off that easily. Then we can presume that Tesla is trying to have the USS work in conjunction with tap to park and high fidelity parking. And not just simply going to turn it off 🤷 Tempting to go in there and change the config to none until Tesla comes out with...

So previous owner had a tow hitch installed. I'm not sure which brand this is what it's rated for or if there's any wiring hooked up anywhere. If I were to say put like a little bike rack or little storage container up to this thing. Could I reconfigure the car to have trailer mode without...

ECU goes right behind the passenger tail light on a bracket that comes with the kit. Canbus is just like any other aftermarket kit I'm sure, plugs into the rear center console. This video was actually very helpful for installing:
