No bracket for HomeLink was installed. There are spare threaded holes to mount the bracket, however.

2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

Thanks for the quick reply!
I imagine removing the homelink module from the bracket is pretty easy. It looks like there are tab(s) keeping it in place. But removing that bracket, not so easy.
I've also seen installs were people just zip tied the module in place because they didn't have the bracket or didn't want the hassle to trying to install it.

No. You need to buy a new Tesla with HW4 to get your radar. Radar is reincarnated in the form of HW4. There's no pathway to retrofit older cars to HW4.
I doubt Tesla even cares about those cars, especially when they're growing 50%+ year over year and a portion of those were discounted. Radar-less cars make up an even bigger portion of the fleet, (nearly 2 years) but now HD radar is available, so why not go back if it makes FSD development easier?
I own one of those and realize that it may never drive like HW4 or a later version, but that's been true all along after looking back at AP1 threads. Not a big deal, I'm happy with free autopilot as-is.
I agree, it would be pretty cool if they've been installing radar since the first of the year and are just waiting to announce it. Then I'll have to upgrade at some point!

The HD radar is tied to HW4. If you don't have HW4, you don't get the HD Radar. I don't see Tesla creating a hybrid system for this short run where there are HW3 cars with the HD radar. And retrofitting the older radar to USS-less cars is meaningless, as Tesla has already abandoned it even in cars that still have the older radar unit in them.I doubt Tesla even cares about those cars, especially when they're growing 50%+ year over year and a portion of those were discounted.

Got rid of my 2019 M3SR+ and I'm taking delivery of a 2023 M3 RWD next week. Might be very poor timing on my part (or a very good one).
Same here.Got rid of my 2019 M3SR+ and I'm taking delivery of a 2023 M3 RWD next week. Might be very poor timing on my part (or a very good one).
Delivery schedules for 27th.. I'm just hoping that I got really lucky. Even if I don't have radar. I'll still be happy to finally own a model 3

Wait, your 2019 car doesn't show distances? My 2019 Model 3 does (HW2.5 w/ radar), as does our 2022 Model Y (HW3 - no radar).
Distances displayed have never had anything to do with radar. They come from the ultrasonic sensors, and they haven't been disabled.
If you aren't seeing distances, then something is likely broken, and you need to open a service request to have Tesla fix it.
Ok, I thought the radar being disabled had something to do with it. I have distances when I back in but when I pull in, it is a tight fit, I almost hit my toolbox each time cause there is no distance showing.
I will be making an appointment to fix a few other things as well.
they won't restore the old radar. Software deleting the installed radar of older vehicles just to make them "equal" to vision-only vehicles was a pretty bad d**k move imho.

Any news on restoring the Summons, Auto Park and Park assist?
I saw that with FSD v 11.3 park assist is back but it’s not out yet and.no actual confirmation.
I have a 2023 M3 and I love the updates but really want those 4 features to show up!
the support page still says “coming soon”

Note the park assist being back is talking about for cars with USS. FSD Beta previously made it so park assist didn't activate in most situations (for cars with USS). V11 Supposedly fixed that.

Source? I have only read about the rumor the software to get HW4 working was planned for March, not that USS features would be restored.

Some people say the features aren’t coming. I just don’t believe that.
They make you sign off when you get the car that they are coming soon. The support page for Tesla vision still says coming soon. If they weren’t coming or ran into issues that made these features impossible to do with vision, they wouldn’t keep the “coming soon” thing Ongoing. I’m sure it will be coming and I just hope it’s sooner than later.
