Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

Me too! Me too!

Actually I don't really care. It shows up when it shows up.

Lol. It's true. In my experience ordering from them, and this may be different but, the thing arrives way before the tracking even shows it shipped. No worries on shipping speed. If there is a concern about where it is delivered, that is another thing.

My DIY harness should be here today. I actual got a alert through my Fedex account that it was shipped. Never got anything from Hansshow in regards to it being shipped.

A total of 18 days. Not too bad.

 

[beachsideev]

It was shipped fedex? Did you pay for shipping?

No, I believe shipping was free.

 

[beachsideev]

Mine just showed up! And it was delivered via fedex as well.

It came with a trim piece removal tool as well. Nice touch! It seems pretty well made. I plan on opening up the little box to see what they are doing in there.

So far, nice job Hansshow!

There is pretty much nothing in the box. Just 4 electrolytic caps. I was expecting maybe some impedance matching transformers or maybe some type of crossover. Nope.

I guess it is to keep the impedance of the system to 4ohms so that the amp does not get damaged. Do you think it will work?

 

[beachsideev]

Caps aren't going to do anything to change the impedance.

Will it work? Reports are it does. I didn't bother tracing out how the extra speakers are wired up (series or parallel). The amp probably has enough headroom to deal with the different impedance so that it doesn't matter unless you are really cranking it up.

 

[Chetanh]

I was told that the SR+ amp has lower power rating than the premium amp. so i am really not sure about the headroom.

 

[beachsideev]

Overall that might be true if it has more channels. It is the per channel power that matters.

 

[Chetanh]

Sorry, i am not very good with electronics. When you are connecting multiple speakers to one channel wont it increase the load on the channel?

 

[beachsideev]

Let me preface this with I have no idea what the difference is between the partial premium vs full premium amps.

Let's say the partial premium only has a 2 channel amp with 50 watts per channel. That is 100 w total. Let's also say the the full premium has 4 channels with 50 watts per channel 200 w total. So the full premium amp is more powerful, but the per channel rating is the same.

Get it? That's what I was speculating with my earlier post.

 

[Chetanh]

Well then why did some people experiencd distortion in the first version of the harness and why add the cap.

Sorry: not challenging you, just curious

 

[beachsideev]

I don't recall any posts about distortion. All of the recent ones indicate it sounds ok, even at higher volume levels.

ymmv.

 

[Chetanh]

OK thanks. The website wehre you can buy the teslaoffer wiring harness clearly states that the harness may cause damage to the amp.
The hansshow website states that the diy harness adds crossover to prevent amp damage. I am just trying to understand technically how this works (prevent damage) since there are no crossovers and just caps

 

[beachsideev]

that hansshow line is bs.

don't be stupid and you'll be fine.

 

[Chetanh]

Thanks.
Since hansshow is on the forum, i think they should comment on the DIY wiring harness crossover/capacitor thing.

Hi all, I have recently purchased a DIY Audio Upgrade kit for my 2019 Australian right hand drive Model 3 SR+. I have installed the audio cables and box yesterday. The sound was good and all 6 of my extra speakers seem to be working.

Unfortunately after the install my microphone is not working any more. The car does not respond to any voice commands and the hands-free phone functions do not work. I tried rebooting the car (soft and hard) and it didn't fix the problem.

When I unplug the Hansshow cables/box and reconnect original cables, the microphone works again.

Has anyone come across this problem?

I haven't heard of this issue with anyone else, but I could see where someone might not notice right away.

Could it be a issue with right hand drive models only?
