Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

[Durzel]

The alert has been present ever since getting the v2.5 kit. The alert only shows in service mode under service alerts, so you won’t see it under the normal service menu or notifications.

Must be something different about my config I guess, though couldn’t tell you what. I’ve never had any alerts in service mode or otherwise about trunk lights.

My 3.0 kit turned up today, when EVOffer did finally ship it it arrived very quickly. Looks pretty daunting to fit.

EVOffer have confirmed that the loom to the trunk lights aren’t needed once the Toolbox config is updated. Looks like I have a bit more work to do to remove the buzzer and reconnect the lights to the OEM loom. This will remove the soft alert from the service menu that thinks the lights aren’t working.

I noticed these alerts recently when I was in service mode during my Toolbox config a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for sharing. I will revert back to original connections based on this info. Did EVOffer explain why this was needed prior to the Toolbox config changes?

It’s possible that when your kit was fitted the person who fitted it didn’t bother attaching the loom to the trunk lights.

It looks harder than it is. The risk of something going wrong is low, but the impact is high if it does as you know. If you’re careful and patient you’ll be fine.

No, I suspect it’s to mitigate behaviour between the lights and the tailgate operation.

Just did the gateway config via Toolbox. It operates as hoped so I'm happy!

Yes, it does! Thanks for the help.

After the cost of the kit, the special cable, toolbox access, and the OEM button retrofit I'm going to attempt, it will still be cheaper than the Tesla retrofit.

Anybody have an active subscription to Tesla Toolbox?
Willing to pay for time.
I just finished up aa OEM tesla retrofit done on my 2018 M3P.
Just need to reconfig the gateway.

OEM as in the parts Tesla provide for the retrofit, or retrofit of the OEM powered trunk? Or the EVOffer 3.0 one?

I installed an official OEM Tesla power trunk retrofit
One you would get from the service center.

 

[davidalindsey]

Not sure which one to reconfigure as
-TESLA_REV1 Powered liftgate installed FEED
-HUADE_REV1 Discrete Huade power liftgate ECU retrofitted
I'm assuming the 2nd one,
figured I would give someone a $20 or something for reconfig instead of paying the $200 or whatever it is for the day.

So they actually just gave you the kit to fit yourself? Nice.

I know what I would guess but I think it would be as good as anyone else's. So I'd recommend getting input from Tesla directly on it.

I'm not planning on delving into Toolbox anytime soon, but if you can't wait then your best bet is to create an EU/UK service account with a different email address. You'd be able to access 1-hour for about £40 before conversion fees.

Yeah actually Tesla refused for me to even purchase the kit/parts from them.
Somehow I found an entire Tesla OEM retrofit kit available on eBay don't know how the guy sourced it but I bought it up for $500.

Not sure if I want to make another email account and sign up for another Tesla account and whatnot.

Is there a UK specific forum or anything I can hit up anyone for?

I see...would be interesting to see the difference between the OEM and aftermarket kit. Where does the ECU go and how do you get to the CANBUS?

There is a UK&I sub forum you can search for, but the members in that region likely to be using Toolbox are probably in this thread anyway. I might be wrong though.

Got it going works from the screen and the app
Ended up paying one of my contacts from Russia $80 to do it.

And FYI
Tesla_rev1 is factory power trunk and huade_rev1 is the official Tesla retrofit.

ECU goes right behind the passenger tail light on a bracket that comes with the kit.
Canbus is just like any other aftermarket kit I'm sure, plugs into the rear center console.
This video was actually very helpful for installing:
