    Aftermarket ventilated seats

    No. The factory material is removed and replaced. The back looks like stock with the new material at top of course.

    Aftermarket ventilated seats

    Katzkin supplies leatherseats.com as well as T-Sportliine; hence why they all use the same installer network. I got these installed a month ago without the Katzkin seat coolers and I love them.

    Aftermarket subwoofer causing issues with Software Updates

    I went through this a year ago and it caused me to install a circuit breaker on the power wire for my amp. These days I don’t even need to open the circuit anymore to have a completely successful software update. Post in thread 'NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed' NVX Boost Subwoofer...

    HepaKing Alpine PXE-X121-12EV DSP Review

    So I purchased this DSP and have it at the house. I see that it has two 30 amp fuses; the 1K NVX amp has three 30 amp fuses. I'm wondering if I need to start looking into a secondary 15V battery. This post below is making me wonder if the possibility of pulling 150 amps (I realize this would...

    HepaKing Alpine PXE-X121-12EV DSP Review

    Great write up! I went stupid spending money on this car while it was down and I planned on slowing down but I might have to make this happen. I have an extra NVX 1k sub I’ll make you a good deal on if you decide you want to upgrade like @C-Bus Y suggested.

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    Tesla may have changed their internal procedures for installation of the module but it absolutely can still be completed (installed, activated and programmed) by a competent DIYer.

    Model Y OEM Roof Rack - Whistling

    I had the roof rack installed at my local service center last Saturday. I was leery of any potential noises which is why I had the installation performed by my Service Center. I’m happy to report that I have not encountered any “whistling” or additional wind noises (I’ve listened for whistling...

    WTB: BBS LM or TE37 for Model 3

    I've got a set of 20x9/20x10.5 Diamond Black BBS LMs that will be looking for their second owner soon. I'm going to be putting up a listing over the next few days.

    Anybody installed these "widebody" fender trim?

    With some heat you can get them to form better and tighten up that gap.

    I'm in NYC and running RM Performance Sport coils on my 22 MYP. The handling is definitely improved. The ride is OK, I'm not going to tell you it rides like my pervious car which was a '16 750i M-Sport but it's better than stock. I went with the performance sport as opposed to the GT because I...

    Tesla Model Y Subwoofer Enclosed Box 10"

    There were no problems really. I had gotten an error trying to complete a Tesla Software update which pushed me to install a disconnect switch between the amp and the penthouse. I was regularly leaving the circuit open in order to complete my software updates. I forgot to do it prior to my most...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Thank you both. No one was hurt and that's all that matters. It'll be back better than before. Going forward I will not drive this car on October 13th. I was hit on both October 13, 2022 and October 13th, 2023; Crazy Luck!

    HepaKing Alpine carbon fiber DP series series speaker / subwoofer set review

    I did the HepaKing Alpine rear stock subwoofer upgrade and I would say it is definitely an improvement over the stock subwoofer. With that said, it wasn’t enough for me so I also added an NVX 10” rear sub on each side of the car and a 1k watt amp. For most people this is overkill, I happen to...

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    Yeah both of my sub grills came slightly deformed... and they were deformed a second time trying to fit the factory trim back in place after installation of the subs. The good news is the subwoofer grill is thin and very malleable; the bad news is the sub and the sub mounting hardware are not...

    Should I remove my tint before?

    I would. They are probably going to replace the window altogether. Nonetheless, I would remove the tint so they don’t try to deny the repair and place the blame on your tint installer.

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    Nothing at all. After I have a software update downloaded and before I install it, I cut all power to the amp via the circuit breaker. I allow the software update to complete installation and then I reengage the circuit.

    Creaking noise after installing new springs on my Model Y

    I did install adjustable camber and toe arms in the rear but I’m not sure what that has to do with the creaking sound in the front of the vehicle which is the focus of this thread.

    Creaking noise after installing new springs on my Model Y

    For what it’s worth I’m running Redwood Motorsports Ohlins DFV Performance Sport Coilovers on Swift Springs; Aluminum Top Hats, Factory FUCA. I get that same creaking noise going in and out of driveways at times. I’ve looked everything over and it all seems good so I’m not overly concerned.

    Tesla Model Y Subwoofer Enclosed Box 10"

    I ran into an issue installing a 1000W amp in my ‘22 model y Performance. Others have had no issues running the same amp on their cars. As far as amp wiring harnesses, I used this for my install. https://catalog.pac-audio.com/catalog/amplifier-integration-harness/lphtsl01

    2023 model y performance factory ppf

    Not to mention the insurance implications. You could expect an increase in premiums across the board for ‘23 Model Ys if they’re being fitted with factory PPF. That’s just an added cost to cover in the event of bumper replacement.

    Planning a road trip from GA to NJ sometime in the early fall, anyone have any experience?

    I drove my ‘22 MYP from NYC to Pompano Beach, FL and back in February of this year. Aside from have my five and three year old sons doing what kids their age doing during long road trips the trip was smooth sailing. I used the in-car navigation the entire way and range anxiety was non-existent...

    Tesla Model Y Subwoofer Enclosed Box 10"

    Truth be told it fits like $hit on a ‘22 as well; the sound isn’t that impressive either. The latter might just require additional tuning on my end. If I could do it all again I would install one 12 in a custom box mounted in the sub-trunk.

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    Finally.... Thanks to @TwoK4drSi for pointing me to a Facebook post that got me sorted out. Long story short I had to add a circuit breaker to my setup. The new 16V battery setup seems to be more sensitive than the previous 12V system. In some cars, not all 16V vehicles, the system sees a...

    That was someone else whose vehicle needed to be jumped. I've been good so far as that is concerned as well as no other error codes besides an inability to complete an update. I've had two attempted updates fail up to this point (2023.26.1 on Saturday and then 2023.20.9 yesterday). For sure...

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    I’m also running the XLCA2X but it’s set to Aud and not DC offset. I may change that as well. I may switch to the 500 rms amp if the 1000W amp is the culprit. I’ll report back tomorrow with some more news (hopefully good news).

    It’s happened twice since Saturday. I installed everything on Tuesday/Wednesday of last week. Tomorrow I plan on doing what @C-Bus Y and @TwoK4drSi suggested to me over PM and start by disconnecting the LOC trying to update and then swap my amp ground point.

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    I have my VAD10001 installed in the same sub-trunk as the NVX install vid. I know my amp is not getting that hot because I haven't been able to use it that much since the last two days I've had my kids in the car most of the time. I'll report back after this weekend.
