You are a very bad man

I may have missed it @TwoK4drSi but what year is your Tesla? I see you reference 12v, so I'm assuming you don't have the 15.5v lithium ion LV battery, correct? I'm in DFW as well - and I DON'T want to hear your car because I will then become depressed and will want to figure out how to do this...

Is your install still working and are you happy with it? Looking at getting one for my Model Y with the same 15.5 LV battery

You get what you pay for in this instance…

You aren't alone - I disabled my setup due to errors. Annoying. I'm currently researching how the Highland is powering two amps and hoping that will lead to some ideas. Really hating this 15.5 lithium-ion set up. I guess its better though than the 40v setup the Cybertruck has 😂

I had a 2019 Model 3 LR and used the NVX system without any issues. That used a 12v system. That was solid. I put that system in a 2023 Model Y Perf and started running into "low voltage" warnings. Also the amp got very hot (probably cuz it was running at 16v now.) The short version is the...

I'm curious - did the front spoiler attach with tape on the corners, below the fog lights? I got this same bumper (w2bodykits) and the tape doesn't even touch. Horrible design. I'm dealing with them now trying to send it back and get a refund, but they too are giving a runaround.

This is very helpful. For comparison, I was quoted $600 (which includes applying a ceramic coat). Thanks!!

Thank you. Any ideas on what a reasonable cost is for doing matte PPF on this particular lip?

Is this kit available in matte?

I stopped checking at this point

I just did the 32.6 update and the error persists, but based on what the SC said above, I’m not worried

Seeing the same VCFRONT_a557_TLVBMS_ConfigFromBmbModIdFailed error on a 23 MY. Got the error on Monday. Glad to see others got it as well - kinda comforting! 😁

Update: I pulled my system out to see if errors persist. Other than always worrying if the amp was going to melt my carpet (runs a lot hotter on the 16v system) lol, I started getting strange errors, with the last one being VCFRONT_a530, saying the car detected a surge in the low voltage system...

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

The craziest thing… I swapped the mobile charger (since I have two) but kept the same 14-50 adapter. Still overheated. Then I changed the 14-50 adapter itself and no more overheating. Maybe those wear out? Not sure yet - still “testing”. The fan idea did cross my mind too lol. This constant heat...

I’m running into similar issues (in Texas) but of course to make it complicated, my 2020 Model Y charges in the hot weather (using 14-50, 32A) without the mobile charger going into heat protection mode but when charging my 2023 Model Y, it gets too hot at 32A. (I’ve had the charger since 2019...

I'm leaning toward a similar route, but with the NVX 10" that I currently have. I found a box from Altrend but they discontinued it, so now it is build time if I can't find something else. Tricky with the sub-trunk dimensions - basically needs to be a 14" box

Nice! Is this in addition to the circuit breaker that comes with the NVX kit?

@Kwame Yeah, I liked that other post like a minute ago LOL Unfortunately it says it is for only the 2020-22 Model Y. I’ll keep an eye out tho.

There is a PAC harness?! Where did you get that from? Update: found your other post. Thx!!

I agree that in the grand scheme of things, the amp draw is nothing. If the update failure is somehow related though (which others have said similar), that’s the only thing it could be IMO. I’ve had updates “hang” over the years myself - never had this error though. One way to find out is to...

If it helps, the NVX tech is the one who told me to set it to DC offset after I explained what was happening. I then tested it multiple times to make sure it was shutting off (which it is). It basically mirrors the factory amp in terms of when it turns on/off. Also, I just installed the...

Dang - it must be pulling enough to throw off the battery mgmt system. Also, the XLCA2 never shuts off (as you know) - don’t know if you saw my post about the XLCA2X Pro LOC but that does shut off when set to DC offset. Regardless of the LOC though, it has to be the amp pulling too much. I did...

@Kwame out of curiosity, are you pulling power for your amp from the penthouse or the front?

Whoah. Haven’t seen that one yet. I’ve done at least one update since I installed mine. (Never saw that on my 3 either). Interesting…

What is that from? The regular OTA update?

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing DFW: Tesla 18" OEM Aero Rims for Model 3. Please add to the discussion here.

Ok - lifted the deck in the trunk covering the amp and drove into work for 30 minutes listening to Drake, Ty Dolla and Slim Thug (chopped and screwed). 85% volume. Hitting hard. Feeling good. Got to work and checked and it was very warm, but not dangerously hot (like it had been). No real...

Has anyone looked into the feasibility of powering either the line out converter or the amp with the low voltage power socket in the trunk? My guess is the amp will draw more than 12amps but the line out won't - just looking at options to minimize having to tap power (even though I already did...

Lol - yeah, probably right. I’m pushing the little guy for sure

Cool - that will be helpful info. I’ve been running it pretty loud - maybe 85% volume, which I know it’s pushing the sub, but feels so good lol I’ll try some stuff tomorrow, with one being not cranking it up all the way

Been testing throughout the day. My low voltage battery SOC is staying constant around 78, whether the car is turned on after a few hours of sitting or when it’s been on for a few minutes. Stuff is definitely shutting off which is great. My only issue now is heat with the amp. The LOC used to...

Oh yeah, that's for certain. don't blame you for going with the toggle, just to be 100% certain. So far, going good with the XCLA2X PRO loc. Amp isn't hot when coming back to the car after 30 minutes, which lets me know it is cutting off. (before it was very hot all the time). Now I'm...

It goes off when going to sleep after about 20 minutes - basically the same time as the factory amp. Are you using the NVX amp? I ran the 500RMS version for 2+ years in my Model 3 and never had it drain my 12v. However, that was with signal sense and maybe it was shutting off real quick. (I...

Important Update: I tested again and it using DC offset and it does work. I forgot I had to let the car sit for a few minutes when I tested last time. 🙈 I put a camera in the back and checked after 30 min. Sure enough, the power LEDs were off for the LOC and NVX amp. Also noticed the Tesla amp...

Yeah - I’m teetering between doing a toggle but be a little ratchet (which is what I normally do) or be fancy and all. If Orella has solved this, I may jump ship - if not, then it’ll have to be a toggle lol

I contacted NVX regarding XLCA2 never shutting off. They responded and said to use DC Offset instead of signal sensing. However, the XLCA2 doesn’t have that option. So I ordered the XLCA2X and tried DC offset, but that didn’t work . Really lame. I know I can tap into something like the driver...

Yeah, I should have said that - late 22. Basically when they starting carpeting the whole side

That plastic piece is a change in the 23. It pops off

It actually says 2020-Up That’s OK though, because now I’m on a mission to fix a bandpass or ported box for the sub trunk. NVX actually has a ported box for their 10” sub, but it’s slightly too large. Looking for something comparable - needs to be around 1.2cubic in total enclosure space (if...

Yeah, I had it for my Model 3 too and the fit/finish was excellent on that one

Which box are you using with the Kicker sub?

Another option - the simplest, and that’s just to put the NVX box in the bottom trunk. I can live with this for now lol

Pictures from my install in a 2023 MYP. Not happy with the fit-n-finish at all. I know this isn't a 100K car, but now it looks like a jalopy in the back, which I don't like. Definitely do not recommend for the 2023, which has a different trim setup and dimensions in the back. Not flush at all...

After installing the NVX boost box in a 2023 Model Y, I'm not happy with the fit and finish at all - it is 💩. I would not encourage anyone to purchase the NVX sub box if you have a 2023. 2020-22 only in my opinion. Current options: Hope NVX releases an updated boost box for the 2023 Model Y...

Where did you get it for $750?

LOL - I did! So hard to tell if it’s running hot due to the 15v system or running hot because it is so incredibly hot outside! The low is in the 90s right now

I had to unplug the high level input to the XLCA2 and it finally shut off (along with the amp). Any ideas for what else can be used as a remote lead for the line converter on a 15v system? I tapped the wires at the amp plug; maybe I need to tap the wires leading to the sub (from the amp)...

So, slight caveat - I noticed today that the amp and line converter were almost too hot to touch. A little concerning. It doesn’t help that it is a billion degrees in Texas right now though. I figured maybe some of it was due to running the VADM1 in bridge mode too, so I stopped doing that...
