I have a model Y 15xxx and installed the update. No boombox option, I'm assuming due to the lack of speaker. I understand that all Ys came with the required plug so I have an email in to the parts counter for a price and availability on one. If not too expensive, I may retrofit. If anyone is able to get it installed for free however, please keep us posted

Be interested to find out. I've got an early VIN 6K's Model Y and didn't get the boombox. Does seem however the sound system is much louder with more bass then before? Or I'm just imagining it?

Looks like even with the addition of a speaker Bookbox doesnt work .,,,, certainly good to know..if anybody does get a service appointment happening please let us know here. Ive got a 13th Jan appointment booked, but i would not really want to get the speaker added if Boombox doesnt work..

Maybe yes, maybe no. He screwed up by not putting the speaker in before the update. As shown in his previous video where he had to reboot, the software is aware of the configuration. Rebooting got the speaker working as previously but no boombox. He should have installed the speaker before the update for a better test.
My understanding is that he did, but it is not 100% clear.
My Tesla Y is a very early VIN one of the first on east coast. It has the pedestrian speaker from factory. Received update last night and did not get boom box. Kinda surprised because you would think having it from factory it would get update. This leads me to agree that they based it on build date not equipment.
I scheduled a Tesla appointment this week because I am having battery issues (max charge only shows 225 mile range) I will ask about boombox.

Boombox feature is there but when I tried it no external sound, Model Y with VIN 5Yxxxxx. The strange thing is external emissions (fart noise) does work.
We booked a service request and they indicated there's nothing they can do about it currently. We already have the speaker so we probably just need a software update or for them to change the configuration to indicate there's a speaker installed. Others (such as @BMax_V.2 ) who had the speaker from day one (very early deliveries) reported the PWS works but they still don't have Boombox.
Actually, the first DÆrik Model Y was a March build. The second one was a June build.
They started installing in all cars in September 2020
The speaker was installed before the update. After the update was done, the regular PWS worked fine but the Boombox feature was not available.

Tesla service just canceled my appointment saying no speakers legally required prior to Sept 1st and no retrofits currently available. Early builds like mine not getting speakers nor Boombox. They did suggest this may change in the future???

Tried to make an appointment to get the speaker installed. I have a very early build. Tesla denied it:
Hello from Tesla Mobile the Pedestrian Warning Speaker is not available for retrofit on vehicles where it was not built on originally
