Retrofit newer sun visors

[AGator]

I have a 2015 MS with auto pilot need to know if my car is prewired for lighted sun visors - was told there may be a connector already available under the A-arm cover that I can use. When reading online I also read that the connector is only there for MS without auto pilot
Can someone confirm this for me? Also if there is no power connector available can someone point out where I can tap12 vdc to power each sun visor

Those connectors will not fit the lighted sunvisor’s connectors. There are several older posts about this topic. Let us know if you cannot find them.

These headliner connectors:

do not fit these sunvisor connectors:

You need to make an adapter from the headliner's 2-pin Molex micro-fit to the sunvisors connector (which varies depending on which sunvisor you have).
For 2020- MS lighted visors, the connector you need is JST PNIRP-02V-S, which fits these visor connections:

For 2021+ MS lighted visors (pictured in previous post), the connector you need is Dephi 13649799 (cannot find the external order link for this one though).

This is all easily searchable at service.tesla.com.

Hi where was the connectors located- what did you have to take apart to get to them? Thanks in advance

Or you can just roll with no light on your vanity mirror. That's what I did when I out one in. The fit is a bit snug and may require a smidge of Dremel to make it fit flush but it's totally compatible just wasn't worth the $170 to buy 2 so I only got 1 for the driver side **** them passengers

The picture above looks like a TE-Connectivity MQS connector to me


https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2-1718333-1/5437700 Should fit. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/9-1718333-1/10478386 should also fit

The contacts would be https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/5-928999-5/10478369 or https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/5-963715-5/9925461 depending on wire gauge.

I am basing my data off the 2021+ Model S parts catalog only. I have not seen the visor or it's connections. But based on the pics, it does look like the connector you posted should mate up to the visor pigtail posted above.

Is that gray one even a 2021? As far as I’m aware, the 2021+ models only come with black headliners and visors.

That's a good question. I just assumed since I've only seen the <= 2020 visors and their connector is as I posted. Are the headliners from a 3 or Y? Or a completely different vehicle?

My Tesla is a 2013 as I posted above. I dyed my headliner and visor black
