I did this about 2 months ago, wish I had this video when I did it. It took about an hour, but def had to double and triple check everything to make sure I was doing it correctly. Very glad I did it, it improved the imaging and treble of the sound system by a ton. Well worth the $60 and time it took! Great vid.
Big thanks! I watched your video once before the installation, and played it as I attempted the installation successfully! Took me about 45 mins from start to finish. Getting that first harness clip back in is VERY tricky. I had to contort my body a lot to get a good angle. Definitely want to put your passenger seat all the way back. Thanks again!
Tesla recently put a software block in place for at least the 2023 models. As noted from a recent post: Just came from Hansshow Tustin California installation/service location… Was gonna buy and let them installed this on my 2023 M3 SR… They told me that they won’t be able to install it coz they just found out that TESLA planted a bug that when those 2 pillar, 2 side mirror speakers are activated by AFTERMARKET Harness.. Bug will make them speakers muffled or static noise..: So they told me to hold off till they find out if there is any solution they can do🤷🏻♂️
Helpful video, everything was exactly as shown on my 2023 RWD. The bug battery didn’t disconnect immediately for me when flipping the lock, and it was slightly difficult to get the plug into the computer. Otherwise, pretty straightforward. I immediately noticed improved imaging when I turned on the music. It was worth my time.
Just did this but had crackling noise from top speaker. As it turn out, the wires are rubbing against the chassis. Some people were missing the foam piece in between. Mine had it but it rubbed all the way through. So i put few layers of electrical tape and fixed the problem
Great video! Just installed this and was super easy. I have not had distortion issues at high volume like others have said. The highs sound way more immersive too
Thank you very much, this was very helpful for my install. The only struggle was the Black plug spot, it was not plugging in easily. After an hour of try, I had to scrap a bit of the the kit’s plug i order to fit in! Overall satisfied with the results!!!!
thanks, I compared with another RWD 23 car without it using same song same volume, there's clear difference, sound is closer, and highs sound brighter. if you are here watching this awesome video, you are interested in the sound upgrade, it's worth the effort. Installation was not bad, just difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. the hardest one for me was the b-pillar, even with the door seal pulled out and moved out of the way, space was tight. Result was pretty good, no bumps on the floor, or loose wires
This was the video i was looking for , finally found a perfect installation...it was a pain in the butt plugging that harness under the dash board coz was super cramped with those wires and the passenger door to settle the harness in … my car sounds awesome now wow big difference!!!
Thank you for the video. I was under the impression you had to connect the harness under the dash on both driver and passenger side. You just saved me a lot of effort. Looks like it’s just the area under glove box and right side B pillar lower area.
Just did it on my 2023 RWD, took me about 30 mins (only thing was that I broke a small plastic tab that holds that swing down bracket), everything else went smoothly, overall was an easy process + thanks for the video. To be honest I didn't notice too much of a difference. I can hear all the speakers playing. I try different type of songs.
This was super easy thanks to this video. The only thing that I spent some extra time on was the new clip on the side of the silver controller. Other than that, very well explained. Thanks!
@@BRichSolution BTW, almost forgot to mention. The layout of the coverpanel below the glovebox of my 2023 RWD (Made in China) is different than yours. It has only 2 pins and one Torx-screw. Besides that, it removes quite easily and after that the instructions are the same.
Thanks for the extremely helpful video for the hannshow harness SR+ model3 2022/2023 Few things to note, if you're going to do this: 1. Watch the video once fully before getting started so you know what's in store. 2. Be extra careful when unplugging existing harnesses from the trim, in most cases if you're tugging too hard its not right! 3. Push the tiny encased depressors down (located on top or to the side) on the existing male plugs harness to have them come out easily from the female junctions, you can also use the Phillips screwdriver to do that gently while holding and pulling the plug out 4. In total there are only three main pieces of the inside trim that need to be removed for full access and following installation instructions a. one under right side dash, to this is also the speaker and footwell light connected (remove this first) b. one big below right door and this exposes the front two main harness connection (remove this last) c. one small one in the corner of the right door, where there is a small pin like holder (remove this second will allow to remove big right door side trim) 5. Before removing the battery connetors in rear seats and frunk make sure your front seats are pulled all the way back and reclined all the way down for easy access 6. Use a adjustable head lamp to get proper light under places of the right dash trim 7. In the underside right door area use a clamp to hold the trim back, or a big stopper! the white plug over the large light blue cable needs to be unplugged and the thin dark blue cable need not be unplugged and can be simply fully removed from the cable plug protector casing for access 8. Post making all connections, you can push some of the excess cabling either under the seat trim or easily mostly into the right front underside of the door, make sure there are no bends and that its not tugging on the connectors 9. Don't forget to reconnect the tiny speaker and footwell lights when placing the right under dash trim back in 10. All male plugs should make a clickety sound when properly inserted into the female parts and this is good! 11. Enjoy the immersive sound (Mostly treble and mids frequencies are amped with this) 12. Prepare for your sub-woofer installation with a monster energy drink! Haha
Start to notice that the car now feels more "alive and chirpy", including the navigation announcement @@BRichSolution super happy with this installation!
2 things that might help that weren't mentioned. 1) Move your passenger chair back before taking out the battery 2) the harness with the swivel lock needs to be pressed in in order to unswivel it. There's a small area that clips it into place. I used a punch to push it in and then it swiveled. It took me about 30-45min from start tot finish. It would have been faster if the swivel didn't hold me up.
Ok I got through doing this thanks to this video. Not sure how else to say thanks but I'm running it on repeat and letting the ads go It really wasn't difficult, took my 30 mins. the hardest part was getting the bunched up wad of cable at the b-pillar to stow away without bulging the panel. That made me bleed. For anyone that's saying they don't hear a difference or the bass sucks.... You're either going deaf or your ear is so incredibly fine tuned that nothing short of an audio overhaul would work for you. It's night and day for me. Much more immersive and the bass rattles my car. Def worth the time and money
Thanks for the video, I did this last week on a 2023 M3. Getting to that black connector under the dash was pretty hard, I had to get the wife to help because she is smaller than me and has smaller hands. Once we sorted that one out, the rest was relatively easy. Although it is hard to properly fit the extra connector under the trim on the B pilar. I managed to fit it in, but there is a small bulge under the carpet next to the seat. It does not interfere with the seat operation, but I don't like it. Speakers are operational now it feels like too much trebble 😂. Sounds really good. Now I want the sub 😅 and rear speakers. I wish there were some guidelines as to how to tuck all the thick cable away under the B-Pilar on your video. You sped up that part ! 😅 Anyway, success story for me and thanks again for the video.
April@@guatamalenpianoplayer9800 . One warning, very very rarely there is a noise coming from the (newly activated) left speakers that sounds like some voltage spike. It goes away. I couldn't determine what it was. But it happened maybe 3 times in 3 months.
Hey. I am thinking about doing the razor sx500 1800w build that you did but want to see a top speed and acceleration test with a gps phone app. if you could make an updated video it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey! Thanks for a great video. I'm just a little confused near the end with the final connection with the blue end. Was the blue end connected to something before you attached the new harness? And where do you connect the final end after you connect the second last piece to the blue end?
I do wonder why Tesla doesn’t offer these at service. The process and parts aren’t expensive and they can probably charge a pretty penny. Even then, they’ll probably get a sizable customer count.
Yes premium has an amp & subwoofer which you can also buy from Hanshow but you have to take more of the interior and trunk apart. Use “brichtesla” coupon code and receive 10% off any orders from Hansshow
Did you order the DIY (new version)? I saw another video where he installed a connector on the driver and passenger side. Does the new version only require access to the passenger side?
I installed the harness and the front left side speakers worked fine but the right side had no sound, including the original active factory speaker. Trying to contact Hansshow to determine if it is a defective wire harness.
@@BRichSolutionthat's good to hear. There's been reports of some sound distortion in the pillar speakers (not the door tweeters) at moderate to high listening volume due to the harness new dyi design overloading on the amplifier running off the same single channel. How's the harness holding up since the install? No issues or distortion notice at moderate to high listening volume? Pillar mid frequency Sound quality is detailed (assuming that you're using very high quality music streaming)?
I had a serious issue with the newest DIY design. It almost muted the driver speakers. I put every back and was testing the balance. Very low, distorted sounds coming out from the driver side speakers. I wouldn't recommend installing this. What if it overloaded the amp and fry the primary computer as well? Also, 90% of the wires are all gray, no color coding. How on earth they put them together? Very high chance of cross wiring.
I have the same issue on the passenger side. It worked fine for a while and then it started doing what you described. I think mine was built in November 2022 from Fremont. Help
Why would they install the speakers and then just not bother with a few meters of wiring. Does not make any sense that these speakers are there, if they are not connected...
@@BRichSolution It just seems strange to not install a simple wiring harness that will probably cost less than the 4 speakers. With your logic they should just install it all, and just disable the speakers in software instead :)
Ok update, took me 2 hours but finally installed it, Yes the speakers are all on but i don't really notice any difference. Is it just me or the sound still feels like its front end. like all the audio is coming from the dash not immersive enoughh
Most of the speakers are in the front of the car. Only rear speakers are one in each rear door. You can buy a kit to put speakers in the rear window deck which would make it much more immersive sound
0:23 so I have a question about when you said it works on the 2023 and back, since I have a 2021 Model 3 SR+, will this $59 version work on my Tesla? If so, I’ll grab it today and be sure to use your code. Best 😊
I’m not convinced that this wiring harness works on the 2021 m3…. Picked part the car and the plug 1 is different, grey plug instead of black. Also the stock Hannshow video for 2021 talks about wiring under the center console to the drivers side (LHD). What is that for?.
Caution: The 2022+ version did not work in a 2023 model 3 Sr+. While the driver side additional two speakers started to worked, the front passanger side speakers stopped working (except for the speaker in the passanger door which sounds a little muffled). So basically it seems the harness took the power from the other front passanger speakers and re-routed them to the A pillar driver side speakers (which otherwise sounded great!) Tried soft reset but didn't change anything.
Didn't actually realize the issue until I changed the balance to front right of car. I uninstalled it and the original speakers are all back to working again. Possibly an issue with my harness?
I just discovered I have the exact same problem. After I install the harness, everything was working fine I didn’t notice the change until the other day I start playing with the balance and discovered the same issue you have. Should we get a different harness? What’s the solution?
@@juanbarbieri6918 not sure. I removed my harness. Could be a harness issue. Could be a car issue. Unless I get another harness to test it out, I'm just going to enjoy the factory speakers for now.
Yes they are reserved for LR and performance model. The performance model has an additional subwoofer in the trunk. These 4 speaker help will the cabin
I am confused. Why aren't they active? I have a 2019 M3 SR+ Intel atom and have Premium speakers and no external amplifier. Does this mean those 4 speakers aren't active in my car? Please help me understand so that I can purchase this.
Just tried ordering a cable on 1 May and it hasn’t shipped. The customer service just kept saying hold on, which is concerning since they are based in China. I told them to cancel the order and we shall see if they go through with it
Nice video, I think the main reason why the speakers are included but not enabled is to keep consistency in aesthetics Besides 4 speakers probably cost 20 cents to make
The main reason is to simplify the supply chain and production line. It’s much easier just to order, warehouse, supply and fit 100,000 type A widgets, rather than 50,000 type A and 50,000 type B.
Thanks alot , I have model 3 2023 rw , car info says that i have premium speakers no external amplifier, and the 4 speakers are not working, should i install the harnesses or my problem is something else
@@BRichSolution BTW, thank you for tutorial, took me 30 minutes to install it watching your videos. And sound change didn't really impress me :( I might just remove it later as I didn't hear much of a difference :( those extra speakers are too quiet to make a huge difference
B Rich, I am a little confused about Model 3 configs. The Standard RWD model has 4 speakers disabled or two pillar speakers disabled and no Subwoofer? The model 3 SR Plus has additional rear speakers? the model 3 LR has sub woofer?
I bought a 2023 Tesla model 3 RWD and got it in the middle of March. Does this already have the speakers activated? It doesn’t sound like it but I want to make sure before I tear the car apart to put the harness in. Also, has anyone had any issues with the warranty getting voided due to this harness install?
Are the connectors on the 2022 and 2023 Model 3 the same? I ordered a harness from a different site, it said it worked with a 2022 model 3, but the black connector from the box does not match what's on the harness....trying to figure out if 2022 and 2023 are different and I ordered the wrong one, or if they're the same and the seller misrepresented their product.
I just bought a 2023 RWD 2 weeks ago. Manufactured 5/23/23 so it's brand new. Has the AMD. Will this work? On the website it says 2022, nothing about the 2023 and will i void my warranty at all????! Thanks a bunch!
OK so got the kit, got everything connected until I got to the pillar connections at the driver's seat which were not there. Had no luck and nothing. Would these be located somewhere else for a RWD 2023 car? Would you connect the last 2 possibly into the driver front part?
@@MrBrooklyn295 with footlights it’s not worth it. You’d have to manually switch them on and off everytime unless you tap into teslas 12v power which would void any warranty.
I attempted this install on a 2023 RWD and that second black connector is not there! There is one sideways in between the first and second one. I gave up after that. Also even after turning my screen power off and including 16 volt battery then HV battery, my screen would turn on. It’s not supposed to unless I press the brake pedal.
@B Rich just did this install 2 days ago. Finished it in under an hour thanks to your video! Hardest part was removing and reinstalling the first black clip and tucking in the last one. Thanks for this video! With your discount code, it was $50 and well worth it
Hello! I believe I have received a faulty kit and emailed hansshow about it. Is there anything else I need to do on my end in order to receive an exchange kit! I really want this to work and was wondering if you had any ideas. Thanks!
@@BRichSolution No, no hum or white noise, basically this is what happened: We plugged everything in properly then booted up the car and turned on the sound system. The drivers side tweeter and window speaker worked, but not the passenger tweeter/window speaker. Also, the front dashboard speaker on the passenger side was somehow disconnected even though everything was connected properly. At first, I thought maybe we missed something but after troubleshooting, we found out the module for the rocker panel on the passenger side was doing some funky stuff. After disconnecting the white male connection, the passenger window speaker started working along with the front dash speaker, and the driver tweeter/window speaker stopped working. No humming at all, just completely disconnected.
@@BRichSolution I have a 2022 RWD (early January 2022 build) with the Intel Atom chip. Hansshow sent me the 2022 harness for the AMD Ryzen chip instead. Do you know if I can still go ahead and use this harness??
