Hi,
I have just received the footsensor from autoease,
It came in small brown box, and included a reasonable if non detailed set of instructions.
The sensor was a neat black box with attached cable.
The sensor needs to be screwed to the underneath of the Tesla behind rear bumper, with provided self tapping screws.
The cable needs to be run from the sensor into the boot ( trunk) area. I haven’t looked to see if there are any handy holes in underneath ( rubber grommets) to enable easy cable entry into boot without drilling an extra hole.
The cable from the sensor is then attached to the supplied harness.
This consists of four wires, 3 in a single cable with strpped wire at the other end, and a long green separate wire.
The 3 wires in the harness are black for earth, yellow for constant 12volt supply, and red for ACC, from further investigation this means a switched 12 volt supply that is only on when car is on.
We know where to tap a constant 12 volt supply from the power liftgate installation, hopefully one of the other wires in the Tesla sockets is for switched 12 volts.
The green wire needs to be connected to the liftgate button, which wire on the button will need investigation.
The kit also includes some tapping connectors, some screws, and a label to stick on the bumper.
The installation does not look too daunting but does mean removing the same panels as for the liftgate installation, and having had a hard time replacing the large liftgate panel, I think I shall wait a while for the scars to heal further, before attempting an install.
