Model 3 is getting pedestrian warning noises (AVAS)?
- Thread starter Huggybear

interesting tweet here from a tesla service tech, saying they would need to push a reinstall of the firmware for the speaker to be activated - i.e. boombox is enabled during install of the firmware if it detects a speaker.

Not that I can recall seeing it, but apparently there is now an option to reinstall the latest software update.

My software update finally arrived during the night (must be the mince pies i left out) so i re-booted the car to make sure the pws sounds were working and then installed the new software.
I let the car sleep and it was back to square one with no sounds, a re-boot as before brings them back. Back to the drawing board.

I found the connector on mine, with some hints from Facebook..it was taped up really high up, about as far as my arm could reach.
Now to find a compatible plug.

I suspect it gets installed as an optional package during the update hence the response from tesla above. There's no way at the customer end to force a reinstall as far as I can tell.
Until the bits to do it properly arrive I rigged up a speaker with some parts I had lying around (bell wire and completely the wrong impedance speaker.. which surprisingly still worked).. the noise isn't as nearly unpleasant as I thought it would be (coming from the leaf, that sounded like a failing analogue TV), I might leave it on.

Does anyone understand the transition of EU Laws into UK laws? I can't really follow the process but does this mean that the EU requirement for AVAS hasn't been adopted ?
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1576 of 26 June 2017 amending Regulation (EU) No 540/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System requirements for vehicle EU-type approval (Text with EEA relevance) (legislation.gov.uk)

That's just an automatic copy/paste of the EU law into UK law, as is. It becomes active after 31/12.
To make any sense of it you have to go to the original document. Laws are a bit annoying like that, expressed entirely as diffs..
TBH based on the AVAS that I've heard from various manufacturers, nobody is taking the 'should sound like an engine' bit seriously.

Farnell part numbers:
2 x 3226658 (Crimp)
1 x 2575768 (Housing)
Definitely correct items, I'm using them now! It's great to have a few others along for the ride trying to get this to work. I see quite a bit of interest on Twitter and US forums about retrofitting, a few US owners even booking into service centers to have it installed. Be interesting to watch and see if they figure out how to make it switch on permanently. Wanted: Model 3/Y pedestrian warning speaker
I imagine they will get serious if people start being silly with it.
Same with the horn sounds, if it's something stupid that causes a safety issue it will get looked into. MOT failure as well.
Ouch. £1.14 for the parts and £9.99 for the handling charge, plus VAT. I'll hold off.. really needs someone to do a bulk buy to make it worth it.
Also, I need to create yet another farnell account as they've locked it again..
btw. There was a post on facebook that a hungarian site had managed to unlock boombox without going back to Tesla. I'm sceptical - and they may have used the diagnostic port to put it into debug mode or something (which doesn't scale even slightly as a means to do this).
Edit: Found the parts on RS.
909-7781 and 909-7766

Do you have a link to the Hungarian site at all, would be interested to see if there's been any developments for us being able to force a software re-install for Boombox without going to the SC
