    2023 RHD Model 3 RW - accessing power from frunk Li-Ion battery for auto frunk.

    Damn... That took a while. :P. Glad you're at the end of it. Hope you finally get to use the frunk properly.

    2023 RHD Model 3 RW - accessing power from frunk Li-Ion battery for auto frunk.

    This was a picture I took April 2022, was testing the frunk kit from EVOffer (and still working to date). Have since made it a lot neater than wrapping wire around it.

    2023 RHD Model 3 RW - accessing power from frunk Li-Ion battery for auto frunk.

    0.0??!?! I've not seen for a long time, a car battery at zero let alone below 10v (ICE included). if your car is moving / starting then your battery is certainly fine (check for warnings on screen). I'd think the contact for +ve and GND isn't done right. The metal post on the battery (the...

    2023 RHD Model 3 RW - accessing power from frunk Li-Ion battery for auto frunk.

    The other reliable constant-12V is the ciggy lighter all the way in the armrest. But if you're not getting constant / consistent power then your ciggy won't neither. So if you just use old school car lightbulb and connects to the battery, does it light up? Multimeter readings?

    2023 RHD Model 3 RW - accessing power from frunk Li-Ion battery for auto frunk.

    I did something similar last year but less elegant. The Li battery is effectively the same barring higher voltage. Can you confirm if you are indeed getting 15v through the line via multimeter (or an old school car bulb)? If you are but the frunk ECU still doesn't power up, probably something...

    Model 3 LR (right hand drive) - Clicking/Popping passenger side.

    I may have the same issue - 2022 M3 RWD, first batch MIC into Aust. Always suspected either speaker or sticky residue. Have disconnected all speakers on left side but still persist. Seems more frequent when warm. Always a single pop. Have reseated the door trim, secured down all loose...

    2023 RWD M3 lowered on Eibach Prokit, too low. Bad install or because of LFP battery? Help!

    Yes I did the full alignment after and camber is about -1.02 left and -0.5 right.

    2023 RWD M3 lowered on Eibach Prokit, too low. Bad install or because of LFP battery? Help!

    you mean, how does it look after installing the kit?

    2023 RWD M3 lowered on Eibach Prokit, too low. Bad install or because of LFP battery? Help!

    Since the front struts would need to be removed for the springs to be replaced, a wheel alignment would need to be done anyway.

    2023 RWD M3 lowered on Eibach Prokit, too low. Bad install or because of LFP battery? Help!

    Just installed Eibach pro kit on my M3 2022 RWD (MIC), since it has LFP battery (and heavier), our local installer said the US-made springs are shorter and should only be used for the non-LFP RWDs. The ones we have in Australia are German-made and specifically for MIC M3 LFP (RWD). LR and P...

    Intermittent seat position failure

    Mine has always been the moving partially issue. More so when I step on brake pedal and shift gear quick and try to drive off swifting without seat fully finishing. However it isn't reproducible all the time so it is annoying..

    Intermittent seat position failure

    Pretty sure it would be software related. If I'm not mistaken, the driver profile seating position would merely be some number of revolutions per motor. For the profile to be able to continue where it left off then it shows it does remember that data, what is triggering to stop prematurely is...

    Intermittent seat position failure

    Been like that since 2023.4.x. Recalibrate did nothing. Mobile service came out did the same thing but to no avail. Can't delete the profile to try again as that is my Tesla profile as opposed to local driver profile. Workaround is to bring up the driver profile menu and click on the profile...

    Noise from Sun Visor

    @gtrad91 I just pried off the magnet part of the visor (the one attached to the roof lining). The plastic clip was rubbing the inside of the head liner and hence the squeak. Wrapped a layer of felt tape over the clip and problem solved.

    Noise from Sun Visor

    For me has always been the magnet catcher. Any movement or pressure would squeak. Will need to pop that out and see if it is that or the surrounds that is making rubbing squeak noise.

    Noise from Sun Visor

    I may have similar problem to you, perhaps you can record a clip of the sound and what action you're doing to terrier that? Mine is 2022 MIC RWD.

    Mod: adding Footwell ambient interior light to SR+ partial premium

    @OzBrown I did that earlier in the year. Long thread but can start reading from this post. 2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    Model 3 Road Noise

    No not MLV, but had some spare foil closed cell PE foam to test. now that I can confirm it does make some difference, it would be a matter of testing different materials and see which is best to apply to the rear wheel arch.

    Model 3 Road Noise

    okay, had couple of hours spare earlier to be in my shed. :p NOTE - I did over do the C-pillar edges and had to trim some materials off before the panel can be re-fitted flushed (the pictures shown is before I did that final trim..). Not sure if this is different to yours @enemji but my 2022...

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    front footwells have LEDs but they're severely underpowered, hence you see a lot of people having Premium interiors (LR, P) just go with upgrading the LED bulb itself and be with it. However, that requires premium interiors and hence all SR+/RWD owners have to figure out their own ways of...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    @enemji , ha haaa, fire blanket material? oh wow, never thought looking into that direction. Ah yes, the two pop-outs from the rear seats, it escaped my mine when I did the speakers activation upgrade months ago. now have to revisit that and pop the bottom bench seat off as well. On your...

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    No, the only thing(s) that I tapped into was (1) the ciggy 12/15.5V + and - to power and energize the SSR; and (2) a pin into connector X288's pin 3 as the trigger to the SSR. Everything else is made from scratch. plain wires, connectors, bulb holder, etc. for serviceability, i added extra...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    i guess so, and which isn't something everyone at home can replace just the spring isolator unfortunately. probably best to play around with different deadening / proofing materials but concentrate on floor / frunk / trunk / wheel arch from the inside. Side question - i know you've taken off...

    Fixed my squeaky seat (issue I haven't seen on the forums)

    @DrHoon that was some months ago I did that but from memory I didn't have to remove the entire lumbar support. see attached diagram, you will see the rod going through the grommet isn't a lot, if I remembered correctly I managed to ease the lumbar suport all the way, then was able to pull...

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    Hmm... like i said earlier i literally only bought the SSR for the homemade harness as I have all the other materials at my disposal. (am not going to sell the harness but i do this for the sake of, staying in my shed away from fam on the weekends, ha haa). roughly what you need to create...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    so around the top of strut and wheel well?
  29. Ernest H

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    yeah, looks right. i think mine was rated for 25A or 40A. need to look. if you haven't used SSR before, it gets hot when it is continually energized (like if you have your dome light on all the time. perhaps wise to get the heat sink as well.

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    the only thing i purchased off aliexpress was the SSR. Make sure it is DC control DC, most are rated 3-32VDC. the exact item i bought from doesn't exist anymore but this is a similar one. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003639593518.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.71.21ef1802WS4JWP

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    nope and it shouldn't as long as you cut or tap your wires right and you're using low amp LEDs
  32. Ernest H

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    yes, so I ran it off the left rear dome light as trigger and get my power from 15V ciggy wires. Whenever the left rear dome light comes on (manually, or via door) it energizes the SSR to power up the four LEDs. When the left rear dome light is off - that de-energizes the SSR and hence off...

    ha haa... I'm a coffee roaster by trade but always happy to try other coffees around the world. :P Please read from post #82 to #85. Have done the write-ups of how to create the harness and wiring route. let me know if you need more info. happy to share.

    12v Switched?

    no difference tbh. goes back to how servicable you want your connections to be that's all. make sure you have inline fuse added as you don't want to short out anything else.
  35. Ernest H

    12v Switched?

    i see your location is from Melb assuming your ride is from MIC M3. What exactly you want to do? just getting a switched 12V for your amp?

    Audio speaker upgrade

    Yes but it is for MIC 2022 RWD. So wiring might differ. Driver side A pillar panel (right hand side) red wire. Just 1 wire to posi-tap. Please check with EVOffer on what variant your car is as different year will have different harness.

    are you referring to the aero cover or the aero wheels, and for which year? :)

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    Night view of the footwell lights. Am thinking of changing out the 4 LEDs to a warm white or even an amber, since our dome lights are yellowish. But doubt I could get the exact same temperature as dome's. Oh well, still a win but took a long time. Learnt a lot though.

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    To report back - all is working now based on my DIY harness. (1) the airy space I was talking about between the driver and passenger under the centre console. Once you pop both sides' kick panel there is a massive area to hold all the wiring and SSR. (2) the felt-taped harness. moving...

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    DIY harness day last week. Top left connector (red black pair for illustration) to power and negative. Connector under SSR has a red wire (for illustration) is my trigger from x288. Then the other four T10 holders to run under the footwell. :) Finished by testing for continuity before...

    Don't think it terminates at a- pillar. More so it ends at front dome connector harness (think canbus...)

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    nope, never tapped into yellow nor black. like i said in my previous posts, i'm using X288's pin 3 (or 4) as my trigger, running it towards my SSR. The other 3 posts on the SSR are LED +ve, 15.5+ (thick blue extension from ciggy), and GND -ve (thick brown extension from ciggy). By the way...

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    are you referring to the thick BN wire as the trigger? or the thin BN? Or the thin TN? if you're referring to the thick BN wire on the diagnostic plug - it is the same as ciggy 12v BN which is -ve.. but sounds like your connector differs to mine 2022 MIC RWD.. check out my other thread as...

    12v Switched?

    I do believe my March 2022 MIC RWD has different sockets / harness compared with NA vehicles, since a lot of yous been saying there is still the brown wire there, but can confirm there is none by itself and that in the diagnostic connector there are two thin browns and one thick. The thick blue...

    Frunk LED Light Strip for Model 3 or Y

    In case you want to know my side project.... 2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod? B.t.w. I made a mistake in my last post - the Eagle-eye DRL was drawing 1.51mA not 2.14mA. :)

    4 x T10 2-sided bulb (canbus) hooked up to same ciggy 15.5v output. 3.1mA in total. Mimic the 4 footwell lights. Will stop here for next week hopefully. Much less draw than what I currently have in the boot. Will replace next. Side note on LED amperage.. Frunk LED Light Strip for Model...
