Saw this, thank you. I tested this viewing angle with an iPad mini and it's difficult to see/use.

The iPad isn't hard mounted. It's held by magnets. So the intent is to remove the iPad when not in the car.

Just wanted to share my latest project. I bought these laptop cell phone mounts off of Amazon ($9 ea) and mounted them to the back of my screen. They fold/swivel down for use and fold/swivel up to store. They came with the metal circular pads to go on the iPad.

I have the same kit. Wind noise slightly reduced. The dirt surprisingly is not. The seals around the door don't stop the dirt sadly.

Just received my side view wide angle mirrors from hanshow and they were the wrong ones. They sent me model 3 mirrors which are not the same size. Very disappointed. No response from the company just yet, they could be on the back side of the clock sleeping.

Not visible at all. Fyi I have the myQ app and device installed at home. I don't want to open the app to open the garage door. I'd rather just hit a physical button.

Not at all. The door clears it with 1/4 inch space.

For the sake of someone searching for garage door opener armrest mod, this post serves to finish the thread. Nothing worse than looking for something and finding what you need that turns up incomplete. The armrest is very difficult to pry apart, a friend popped his off and it was not easy. He...

Thanks for the tip!

I'm sad to report that road dust is still making it inside the noise reduction weather stripping. It's not much but it's some. I'm fairly certain I installed it correctly.

See my post Help: armrest teardown Still haven't cracked into the armrest yet, don't want to do damage.

Not necessarily. If someone can teach me how to 'pop' the arm rest up without damaging it, the rest is super easy. I'll post pictures once I'm done. Guarantee others will like saving $300 and doing a simple mod like me. Trust me, I'd prefer the $300 deal but can't swallow the cost on principal...

Gameplan is to install a garage door opener in the arm rest. I'm taking a universal garage door opener, soldered a toggle switch to it and want to put it inside the arm rest. The button will be hidden to the left of the armrest release button so I can hit it when my arm rests on the armrest...

There are other kits out there. Just look at Amazon for model 3 noise reduction kits, you might find one that doubles as compatible with model y. Also, for the previous comment, I looked at the weep holes under the doors and my weather stripping doors cover them a tad. Still functional.

Might be placebo effect but to me, it's noticable. Less wind, cabin sounds quieter and doors close with a nice 'funk' sound.

I'll look tomorrow but I think there might have been some small overlap.

Yeah I'm liking the kit. Definitely quieter and the doors feel good when shutting them.

We need mud flaps.

Just wanted to share a pro protip. When using the adhesive promoter/primer it's pretty difficult applying it to the A pillar. I attached some chop sticks to the lid, made it super easy. Secondly instructional video/website claims it'll only take 30 minutes to install. Sure if you do a sloppy...

Yeah let me know.

I like the amp idea, where did you tap it? Under the dash or way in the back?

I've got the Valentine 1 Gen 1. That's interesting. I'm wondering if it's a gen 2 thing. Does your cigarette lighter plug have a red led? I'm wondering if it remains on.

Yeah there's no clear guidance on this yet. There's no 'customer' fuse box like any other car and it's also not like the M3 is set up. I think the best game plan is to hard wire to the rear view mirror (if that's your thing, I'm not going this direction) or mount behind the screen with the wire...

I just had another idea, let me know what you guys think. Can I hardwire to the back of the cigarette lighter adapter? Then just manually turn off the radar detector when not in use. I have the hardwire kit with built-in fuse.

Thank you, haven't seen your post, I'll check it out.

Yeah I saw that thank you,a unfortunately that's a M3 and according to most people on the forums, is wired differently.

1st I've read all the forums regarding hard wiring. So far I haven't seen any info on anyone being successful at hardwiring a radar detector. I saw that there's no "customer" 12V power available like in the M3. Just want to know if anyone's cracked the code on this. I want it wired so that it...
