I didn’t unbundle the other end to see which one it went to, or if it was the cut one. So i guess maybe cap it off and see if the system works as described. You could also WhatsApp message them. They are probably just getting into the office/shop right about now.

I’m texting with Hansshow and they said they have a new light cable that fixes the flashing light issue when modifying the wire harness to allow the touchscreen and Tesla app to show the open/close state of the trunk. However I can’t get an answer to whether that cable is included in new shipments or whether they will provide instructions to modify existing light cables. I think it may be a language problem.

Having this same issue. Talking to them through WhatsApp and sounds like it can only be solved through adjustments. Not sure what adjustments as I believe I went through them all but still waiting for more info.
Just got a message from hansshow regarding the modification of the trunk to display the correct status. They asked me to delete my post for the moment because they consider this solution not tested enough and they are still working on a better solution.
So reverting to the OEM Springs over the grommets doesn’t help? Was going to try that today. Are you going with those or putting the rubber grommets back in? I was curious if the Spring/mini boot would interfere at all with the ‘soft-close’ or full seal when closed due to the extra length over the grommet seal.

Can we get a vid of the trunk slamming? I'd love to compare it to mine, which seemingly is pretty gentle overall.
I’m not sure what is going on at Hansshow. I asked them about the light flashing issue with the wiring harness modification and firmware update you had posted and they responded that they have a new light cable to fix that issue. I then asked whether the new cable would be included with their new shipments or if they can email instructions how to modify the existing light cable. At that point a different person (I think) responded to me on WhatsApp and said they are not sure about the fix to show when the trunk is open. I indicated that someone in this thread ( @jebs2k ) said it works fine but for the light flashing issue. They responded it’s wrong, I asked what’s wrong but they stopped responding.
A concern I have with the existing design (where the touchscreen and Tesla app do NOT show when the trunk is open) is whether the alarm would activate if someone broke into the trunk. If the car thinks the trunk is always closed, it’s possible the alarm might not be triggered by a break-in. I haven’t tried it (still waiting for my kits) so I’m not sure whether the alarm gets triggered by the open/close status change or by the trunk lights turning ON.
I hope Hansshow provides a definitive answer as to whether the modification you posted actually works and how to fix the light flashing issue. If those 2 things are addressed, the product would be essentially perfect. Maybe @jebs2k can provide additional information with respect to the operation of the modification.
I am getting things ready for my install this weekend and I have a question. My kit came with only the white wire cut in the main harness that connects to the hub. I managed to push all the heads of the wiring out of the connector so I didnt have to cut the other wires. Once I put it through the tube with the fish wire, do I need to reconnect it to the same white wire in the connector? I am planning on using a posi-lock to reconnect the white wire.
So I can't get the foot sensor to work for the life of me. Followed the wiring diagram. Been troublshooting with Hans himself but now it's pretty late and he's sleeping. He told me I absolutely needed to connect the white wire from the plug connector to the white wire coming form the harness. But now I'm wondering if my white wire is cut also, don't I need to reconnect it?
For those people that are installing the kick foot sensor, I suggest you view the following installation video starting at about the 52 minute mark:
The guy that made this video shows how to install the kick foot sensor without having to remove the bumper cover. Apparently there is a service panel that can be removed that gives one access to the bumper area. Since Tesla constantly changes things on their cars I’m not certain if every car has such a service panel, but if your car does, this greatly simplifies the installation of the kick foot sensor.
