You need to do a Software reinstall after configuration to get the headlights working correctly.

Make sure the lights are purple. If not hold the center button on power on till they are

The VC modules are the same for the Model S and X. Body7 is the power connector for the Falcon Wing Door power if memory serves. It’s always blank on our cars. I usually take pictures of the part and connections prior to removing it to make sure it goes back together right. I’ve been burned a...

I do like that the controls integrate with the Canbus connector for the car, and they look like OEM parts otherwise. Very nice.

I've heard they have to collect the Config and Certs off the existing computer if it works to load into the new one. Either way, the options and hardware are still there. The most reasonable explanation is if the customer paid for CCBK or updated the yoke to the new mechanical horn it would have...

If there is no config option in the software for the earlier Model S to control the light over LIN then yeah. Not going to work on your car. There are aftermarket options from EVOffer and others.

Look what just popped up on the Tesla Service Notices... I think it shows the Config routine and the parameter format for making a change...

This confirms some suspicions about the Refresh S/X being closer to the other Gen2 cars than the previous versions. While the Intel MCU 3/Y might have it, that doesn’t mean the earlier S/X cars do too. Different dev branches, and config options. The 2021+ S/X are big Model 3/Y variants from the...

The Matrix lights don't have a High/Low beam or Turn Signal/DRL wiring from the refresh BCM(Body Control Module). All of that signaling passes over the LIN bus. What I don't know is if the 2016.5 has the LIN on Pin 1 or if your existing BCM in your car can send those signals to control the...

Disclaimer... you'd be the first person to get this to work on the Pre-refresh cars. The 2022 Matrix lights only use Power, Ground, and LIN. On the refresh cars there are only 4 pins, one of them is the turn signal hardwired light which is dropped and passes over the LIN pin on the Matrix...

And there's the man himself!

Those are only good for the Earlier Model S or X. They don't work on the 2021-2022 Refresh. The 2022+ refresh use the Ethernet port like the current Model 3/Y.

I think as long as we put rental traffic in the Marketplace it should be fine? A MS/X Early Palladium Rental Match Making program?

Unless you're the type of person who likes to tinker or help others, not really useful. It's one of the reasons I was looking at providing a rental to do just the upgrades, but that has its own challenges.

If the device has a USB-C port, then that should be good enough. The console USB-C ports and the 12v cigarette port power up at the same time. Either will work if you buy an adapter for it too. None that I've seen outside of the Tesla Factory kit come with a power source. The connection is: Car...
