    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    For sure I will. It seems that after some time, trunk rattling, and now a different season with colder temps, my settings could use a readjustment anyway. The downside to my installation is that I have the amp and LOC mounted in the stock sub location which is behind the carpet on the right...

    Annoyed by ticking/clunk/rattling noise?

    Before I took delivery of my M3, I was doing a ton of reading up on it and had read someone's story about this exact issue and how they "fixed" it with tape. I had forgotten all about it, and when my "ticking" had started and I was trying to track it down, I suddenly remembered. Sure enough...

    Annoyed by ticking/clunk/rattling noise?

    I had the exact same issue and I found the source!!!! Here's what it was on my '21 M3 SR+ There is an adjustment screw on the hinge mechanism for the trunk that makes contact with the hinge itself. I noticed a small amount of paint worn away. I placed a small piece of medical tape over the...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    I used the XLCA2 LOC with the boost kit that has audio signal sensing, and then outputs the remote turn on for the amp. It has been flawless with no audible sound of the amp turning on. I've read about issues with tapping into various places for the remote wire... sometimes what works now as a...

    Put T emblem back on after PPF or no ?

    This is a good debate. I struggled with it as well, but in the end decided to black them out and put them back on. I have the SR+, so I don't have any additional "Dual Motor" labels or anything. If I did, I wouldn't put those back on .... just the "T". But of course it's always a personal...

    How much PPF did you get?

    Oh heck no! LOL ... but it may have appeared that way. We had a Model Y there on display as well (the local Tesla dealer gave us the car for the day). Basically the prize was $70,000 toward the purchase of a Tesla, and so the cars were just there to showcase a little of what you could get...

    How much PPF did you get?

    Just saw your message ... been pretty busy. Here are a few pics from a golf tournament where it was on display as a hole-in-one prize.

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    This type of install isn't particularly hard, and special tools aren't required, but I would strongly suggest watching a bunch of videos on how the panels come apart and go back together. Watch videos from several different people as everyone seems to have different techniques. Follow the...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    Sounds like you might have a different issue than I have. If you remove the harness all together and have the original connector going into the ICE, you will likely get the right dash speaker back. I've been talking to tech support and we're trying to work through some changes that might have...

    How much PPF did you get?

    I paid a lot to have my M3 fully wrapped. But with the harsh winters and excessive pea gravel on the roads, I feel much better about it. My previous cars have all gotten sizeable chips on the front, side, and hell even the back from other cars whipping stones up while driving by when I'm...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    You bring up a really good point. During my initial conversation with Tesla Offer Support, his first assumption into what was causing the front right to go out was an e-fuse. He asked me to wait a while and see if it started working again... which it did. You might be right in that the...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    Okay, so I was able to do this today. I unwrapped that section of the wiring harness so that I had a little more room to work with, and crimped on some connectors so that I could easily connect them again if needed. Here's my troubleshooting so far: 1) With the Tesla Offer harness completely...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    Hmmm... interesting. It's raining here all day, so I won't get side tracked by yard work. I'll try on mine and report back.

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    Good point... I think I'll try that. Better to do that and tape them off than to cut them close to the connector. Another option would be to unwrap the tape they have around the wires and cut it further away from the clips, but there's not much room to work with either way.

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    I have yet to try cutting the wires and reconnecting all the connections to the harness. I've really been enjoying the sound without the additional 4 speakers connected up front. I have been able to fine tune the LOC and amp that go to my sub and the sound is really freaking good at the...

    Model 3 electric tailgate / frunk (power liftgate) group buy?

    I'm still searching for a possible group buy or discount code for Tesla Offer power frunk. Anyone know of anything going on?

    Model 3 OEM subwoofer install

    Here's a post that shows which ones. Tap into the Hansshow harness so that you're not messing with the Tesla wiring. Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Model 3 OEM subwoofer install

    I used the Tesla Offer harness and it came with wires tapped into the door woofer feed. I'll try and find the pin out to show you which ones they are.

    Model 3 OEM subwoofer install

    I tapped into the door woofers and ran the signal back to my sub.

    Model 3 OEM subwoofer install

    I installed the NVX BOOST Kit in my SR+ and I am ABSOLUTELY in love with it. At first I was a little underwhelmed, but then I pulled out the multimeter and did a little tuning while playing test tones. The difference is amazing and I am beyond happy with my purchase. Also, I became a member...

    Tesla offer coupons or Group buy

    That sucks. I think the Tesla Offer design is the superior one. The R&D on it was shared with Amp Tech out of Germany (if I'm not mistaken). I'm going to try a slightly different route to see if I can get a bit of a discount. I'll report back.

    Tesla offer coupons or Group buy

    Since there are other threads on this topic, we could "combine" efforts and we'd likely be closer to the 25 required. Any suggestions on getting everyone on the "same page?"

    Tesla offer coupons or Group buy

    FrugalTeslaGuy and TeslaRaj on Youtube did a comparison of the ones from Tesla Offer and Hansshow. Frugal Tesla Guy actually has now recommended against the Hansshow version, has uninstalled it in his model 3, and instead installed the Tesla Offer one. You can use frugalteslaguy or teslaraj as...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    Honestly I would say do it yourself. Sure it might take the better part of a day to do it, but it will take you a heck of a lot longer to drive down from NYC to have them do it. I would suggest watching a lot of different videos that involve taking panels off etc. Watch videos of several...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    So here's a heads up to anyone with a 2021 SR+ that gets the Tesla Offer Speaker Activation Cable. It turns out that some of the newer 2021 models have a wiring change. Now I'm not talking about the missing connector for the tweets on the passenger side, it's more involved than that and the...

    How much PPF did you get?

    Living in Canada, and especially in Calgary, I opted for a full body wrap. The roads are notorious for making a car look like utter crap after only a few winters here. Since I did the full wrap, then I also opted to go for the Xpel Stealth for the matte finish. I don't regret the decision at...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    I've tried to balance the sound across several different genres of music, but I'm sure I'll be adjusting for a while yet. In general I'm VERY happy with the sound. The sub adds a layer of depth that was really missing with the stock setup. If cranked it'll rattle the car pretty good, but I...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    Installation complete! Looks nearly factory. The LOC and amp were mounted to the plastic bracket in the stock sub location. The manual charge port release pull is JUST long enough to poke out from behind the sub enclosure, so if going this route then make sure to have it accessible. Now to...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    My cable from Tesla Offer arrived yesterday and I'll be installing it today in my '21 SR+. I got the subwoofer outputs with it, and it included Posi-taps to tap into the tweeter on the passenger side of the car. Apparently the driver side speakers are fed at the B-pillar. I've already done...

    New TeslaOffer SR+ Speaker Activation Wiring

    I'm eagerly awaiting the Tesla Offer wiring harness with subwoofer output, but it's currently on back order. Not sure how long it will be, but my NVX BOOST Kit arrived in 3 business days. I could move ahead with the install of the boost kit, but was wanting to do everything at once and avoid...

    Hey SR owners! What Subwoofer did you install in the factory location?

    It is more pricey, but I was able to get a discount code that helped a LOT. Tell you what, you get the other one and I'll install the NVX. We'll meet in Salmon Arm this summer to compare. ;) hehe. I jest, but I would be interested in hearing the difference. I'm hoping when we can have meet...

    Hey SR owners! What Subwoofer did you install in the factory location?

    I've got this one on order as well as the TeslaOffer harness with the subwoofer output. The power I plan on getting from the penthouse, and the LOC has audio signal sensing which will then power up the amp when I turn on the audio. Pretty excited to hear the upgraded audio in my SR+...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    Okay I found a working code! Just join the private group NVX Only on FB and you will get a code for 15% off. I just placed my order and am looking forward to getting started on the install. I already ordered the cable with sub output from Tesla Offer and that should make it easier to get the...

    Subwoofer Options for Model S (standard Audio)

    That seems like a good option. When/If I'm able to find a working discount code, I'll be ordering the NVX BOOST kit. Know of any working codes?

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    I am also wondering if anyone knows of another discount code. At full pop it's nearly $1000 CDN so anything helps.

    I was also wondering if there is another discount code to use. At full pop it's nearly $1000 CDN so anything would help of course.
