    DiY HomeLink Install using in car Service Mode - No need for Tesla Service or ToolBox

    yeah i agree. i almost kept my old one from my 2018 model 3 when i sold it and that would of been a slap in the face if they would not let me use my own purchased hardware in my new 2023 model 3

    Is PPF or ceramic coating necessary?

    howdy, I would say my personal opinion is that PPF is a necessity if you are doing a lot of highway driving. I have a 2018 black model 3 and got Xpel PPF on the front end ( hood, front, mirrors ) and after 3+ years the car looks great and the PPF has saved my bacon. If you can swing it i...
