Model Y - Frunk automatic opener

[rengel79]

Hey guys, I've noticed a few of these frunk 'kits' online but have ready varying reviews on 'ease of installation' and questionable build quality, etc.
Keen to hear from folks who have bought/installed one (and whether it was from an Australian distributor or o/s?).
Does it work with the existing tesla app (to open the frunk) and then touching it would close it or is there another app I have to use for that function?
Tx... R.

I installed one 2 years ago and had to revert to stock. The power closer failed as it leaked water even though the mfg stated ip65 rating. I do not recommend.

There are so, so many horror stories out there of these things malfunctioning; a lot of them fail, and (best case) your frunk is stuck closed, or (worst case I saw) the frunk flies open while driving.

I would love to have a power frunk -- probably the feature I want most other than cooled seats -- but after doing a ton of research I am not risking it with these third party add-ons.

My power frunk kit (V5 version) is about 2.5 years old without any issue. earlier versions have issues like weak waterproofing. It also depends on the quality and location of the install.
