    Model 3 2021 not recognising music from USB-C stick

    I have to do a soft reboot on my 2021 M3 to get the USB sticks to show up on the MCU since the last few updates.

    Can I stuff acoustic foam behind the door speakers?

    I put the foam from my Soundskins speaker rings behind the 8" midbass in my doors.

    Aftermarket Subwoofer in 22 M3P

    I've installed a small amp (400wrms) to the OEM sub in a '22 RWD (16v car) without any issues in the car. The amp seems to be staying on all the time but that's something that can be worked on at a later date. I have a '21 Performance with a 3800wrms setup without adding a second battery. The...

    proper sub woofer disconnect

    It depends on what wiring is going to be disconnected. If it's an all in one unit, you need to protect the bare wires since one should be power and one should be ground and will make a bright and brief light show if they touch. If the amp is to remain in the car and only the sub/enclosure is to...

    12 volt battery dies without warning

    Not all 51R's will fit. I have an XS Power that won't fit. It's just slightly too big in all dimensions. Make sure that you verify that the replacement will fit.

    A quick comparison Focal ISU200 vs Hertz MPK165.3 Woofers

    Having used a few sets of Focal's in the past (not the ISU200) and competing with Hertz Mille's in my Accord, I would expect the Hertz to sound better than the Focal's. In my opinion, using the largest driver in the door is the best way to get the best sound up front that you can, hence the...

    Loud feedback noise with aftermarket amp.

    First thing that is suspect for me is the basic line output convertor. I would look into a quality version (like an Audio Control piece) and verify that the wiring you've used is the correct signal for the amp.

    Model 3 Subwoofer

    Since you've got the standard audio, it should be similar to what you get out of the midranges. I don't remember what I tested them to be, but it'll be fine for feeding most decent quality line output convertors.

    Alternative tire size for M3 20 inch wheels

    I put 255/35/20 on my M3P on Forgestar wheels. No problems with rubbing or interfering with any suspension parts.

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    That stinks!! Please keep us informed of what happens. For what it's worth, my '21 M3P went to the local service center for the same issue before Tesla admitted to the software fault. They said they would not honor the warranty due to the "added weight of the sound deadening" that I added to my...

    2022 Model 3 Performance (premium audio) tips to 1300w 5 channel amp

    I put two Phoenix Gold Ti21600.5 amps in my '21 M3P. I did not install a second battery though it wouldn't hurt. I used the relay/resistor to make the car not respond negatively. I don't think you'll have any issues.

    Audio system looses bass or all sound, and strange clicking

    FWIW, My 2021 M3P with the premium audio (though all speakers are replaced, and aftermarket amps power them) does the same click but I seem to notice it happening when there is an audible indicator being generated by the computer (as in, a turn signal sound, or turning on or off of cruise...

    Model 3 subwoofer install.

    If I had to guess, I'd say the OEM sub box is about 0.3-0.5 cu ft, about what to be expected of an 8" driver. I was able to mount two amps and the relay/resistor in the spot where the OEM sub/amp used to reside.

    235/35/20 Front & 275/30/20 Rear with stock Tesla Ubertines - Stock everything -- would this cause any issues?

    Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on here in a while! I used 5mm spacers from Model+ and the simply slide over the lugs and rest on the center hub bore. No suspension mods, though I'd like to get some MPP coilovers at some point in the future.

    235/35/20 Front & 275/30/20 Rear with stock Tesla Ubertines - Stock everything -- would this cause any issues?

    2021 Model 3P Ubers are a 20x9 with a +34mm backspace. I run a 255/35 on my Forgestar +35mm with a 5mm spacer but I would think it would fit. It seems like I've seen a few people say that a 275 would fit.

    M3P: I'm done with the stock Pirellis. Where next?

    I run a 255/35/20 on my M3P and feel its the size that should've been on the car at delivery. Like someone else noted, slightly wider with a hair more sidewall. I can't comment on the PS4 or PS4S, the DWS06 fits just fine!

    Performance buyers who don't want Uberturbines/20s, what's your plan?

    I'm ok with the size, I'm just not a fan of the look. I swapped to a Forgestar wheel with a 255/35/20 and very pleased. Though it might not be every 18 or 19, I'm sure you can find a smaller wheel that fits.

    Has anyone upgraded door speakers (like the focal ISU200) and not dash?

    I agree with others, go ahead and do them all. I run a set of the amped garage adapters for my Illusion Carbon 8's in the doors, and used some 3D printed adapters for the Illusion Carbon C3CX's in the ends of the dash.

    255/35 on Uberturbines?

    I run a 255/35/20 DWS06+ on my M3P, 20x9 wheel with a +30mm offset. You'll be fine with plenty of room. You could have a set of 5mm spacers on hand from Danny at Model+ if you're worried.

    No software update received yet

    I haven't had the parts replaced (my appointment was this morning but we were hit with a winter storm so I decided to stay home), but from what I can gather there is a firmware mismatch that doesn't seem to allow certain components to update with the rest of the OTA update.

    2022 M3P All Season Tire Fitment Question

    I run a 255/35/20 Continental DWS06 on my 2021 M3P. No problems with fitment, using a set of Forgestar F14's in a 20x9 +35 with a 5mm spacer.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I recently went with a 20x9 +35 Forgestar F14 in bronze on my MSM M3P. I contacted Danny at Model+ for some info and he was very helpful (even though I didn't buy the wheels from him). I went with the 5mm spacer with a 255/35/20 Continental DWS06. I was able to get the BT TPMS sensors from the...

    Speaker Dead or ?

    I'm not sure there is anything that is supposed to come out of that speaker aside from possibly some chimes or other vehicle based information. I've had all of the "normal" front speakers unhooked and had no sound coming from that individual driver.

    Speaker on A pillar either extremely quiet or not working

    During the process of installing my new speakers and amps, I had to drive around for a few days with no "front" speakers, only the tweeter for the center and the "height" tweeters that are in the headliner at the top of the a-pillar. They do make some noise, but not very much, and like you've...

    Which USB port on the 2021 is Data?

    The USB A in the glove box will read music (and is intended to be used for dashcam and Sentry), and the two USB C ports at the front of the console will read music. The rear ports are charge only.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    My plan is a 20x9 wheel with a 20mm off set, 245/35 tire. Not lowered, stock M3P height. I know some people have used a spacer and given offset wheel to achieve the 20mm offset but I haven't heard of anyone doing this size and spacing natively.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I've at one point gone through all 200 some odd pages and possibly missed it, but has anyone used a 20" wheel with a 20mm backspace on the front of a M3P? I want a specific wheel (and the original plan was a 30mm backspacing but they seem to be on an indefinite backorder) but a 20mm version of...

    Nissan Leaf to M3 Transition Guy Needs Moral and Emotional Support and Advice on LR vs SP

    Welcome to the site! I won't try to sway you in one direction over what you've already chosen, but like you I sold a 2018 Leaf SL to buy a M3P, and never looked back!! Honestly, the current owner of my old Leaf has told me he will buy my M3P when I decide to get rid of it!

    TeslaCam / Music Solid State drive works in one Model 3, but not another

    Mine worked for a time in my 2021 M3P but recently started giving me the "format drive to use the dash cam" (or something similar). I've got a 1TB with two partitions for music and teslacam. I can only assume it's due to a recent software update.

    SiriusXM radio on Model 3

    What I've done is to save my most listened channels as favorites and simply switch between those channels using the favorites tab of the app. Kink of clunky and a big oversight in my opinion to omit SXM, but it is what it is.
