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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...
