New headlights retrofit

[ranova]

wish there was an easy way to search within this thread - but Im interested in this retrofit on my May 2018 model 3. I briefly saw I would likely need a wiring harness (edit: maybe not?) as well as the headlights and special ethernet cable? Then do a day subscription to the toolbox to get it working?

Anyone here ACTUALLY made this change DIY with a subscription? I try to but is getting an "unauthorized configuration change" error.

Can you post some screenshots of what the option in toolbox looks like? My headlights are arriving tomorrow and I’d love to try this DIY as well.

I don't think you can do it that way, I think you have to use the command line option. See this post for how it is done for the Model 3:

According to VeryGreen, it seems that way, you just need the proper cables and a Toolbox subscription:

He even gives the command you need:

This is why I'm asking someone that did it SUCCESSFULLY DIY to share process.

Green’s twitter post is pretty much what you need to know. Send a reboot-gateway command after and reinstall the cars firmware.

Are you able to try the command referenced? The command is consistent with information I’ve seen about it. I’d love to try it with mine, I just don’t have toolbox access/my parts yet.

Like this?

1. log into toolbox
2. click Service Shell from left pane
3. enter command gw-diag SET_CONFIG_DATA 00 28 2
4. enter command reboot-gateway
5. from vehicle, enter service mode and press Reinstall Firmware button

Yep. Other options are similar. Most don’t require software reinstall, but headlights do.

You need the toolbox proxy application for service shell to work. There is a link to that within toolbox

Is the proxy application required when running Toolbox over Chrome on a Mac as well?

I believe so, but as far as I can tell they don’t distribute a Mac version of proxy. But you can run it in a VM which is what I do. Windows for ARM works fine for this if you have an Apple silicon Mac

I’m wondering if this would route would work on a Mac without running a VM. Might be worth a shot.

Pretty sure that part only applies to tegra cars (ie mcu1 pre refresh), but I don’t know if there’s a similar routine for Intel and Ryzen cars.

It does, but you need a matenet to h-mtd cable and an ixindustrial to rj45 Ethernet cable.

I actually have one with the appropriate cables that I’ve been meaning to sell or rent out.
