Wow - you can also close it from the screen in the car. Nice. Mine can’t do that. I misunderstood the tweets. I got the frunk ordered also. Love it so much!!! Awesome bro
Please do a mod where you backlight the door handles. They can be hard to find at night
That is a good idea. On the list now
should also let Tesla know too for improving their future products
Maybe a matte finish acrylic door handle with leds on the sides
Love your videos,Brian!Please make a video to show how you install it,I mean the whole process
I cut wire, fish it through the rubber tube using 14 AWG wire and vaseline, and then reconnect with Butt Splice Connectors. it was easy. the Hard part for me was to taking interior panels off to locate Tailgate signal plug behind speaker.
good job! I did not like the fact that a second switch was needed to close the other kit. No can-bus hook up is also a plus.
This is better than Ben's. Because he can't close the trunk from his Model 3 screen. He can only open it.
Tyran Mathurin that’s because this spoofs the system. Not technically safe since its incorrectly reporting the trunks open/close status. So in your app it shows as always closed
Very cool! My only complaint would be auto trunk and frunk should be standard from Tesla but great solution since that isn’t the case
Dude, there you go. This one I want! I don't have the $450 yet, but it's my birthday, so I'll ask wifey :p
The doors would be nice to
The new version 3 is available now. It show the status on the screen and also on the app. I ordered mine yesterday because of that and for the Black Friday there is 22% off (cost 427$ with foot sensor)
FYI: Handshow currently is having a Black Friday deal til 12/02 for $122 off the $500 price using code: hansshow!
Please let us know what companies in California install this item.
What a great guy. You are amazing. As always.
Thank you and so are you.
Seeing this as I just finished ordering all the stuff you listed on your other trunk/frunk videos hahaha oh well, I don't think I need the power one, but definitely looking forward to the auto-open. Thanks for all of the cool mods you figure out and share.
That option saves you $900. You win
Installed my power frunk and trunk from Hansshow. Love them. Can you test the frunk safety latch system again like you did assimilating groceries hitting the button while driving? 🙏🙏
Amp Tech claims those parts from Hansshow are a knock-off of their product and are not safe. They‘re speaking of cases where the trunk opens itself at the carwash and the frunk during high speeds causing accidents.
I love tesla but no other $40k car has a manual trunk. Crazy they thought it was ok to disregard that
Sean have you looked at the BMW’s? Lol they don’t
Wow, nice upgrade Brian. Continue your videos. :)
Now you show this after I made my trunk pop up with new struts and springs so hard that you are taking your life in your hands if you get too close. I also managed to chip the glass because I installed the wrong end of the strut first. Good thing you don't have my mechanical skills.😱
Can you ask mike to repeat your golf ball pushing the emergency button test when he does the power frunk install. This would be an important safety feature to not mess up, particularly if the unit is tricking the car into thinking it's always closed so it can be closed from the display.
I will tell him but I will do that in the X when I get mine soon
Prices coming down.....I may wait a bit longer....lol
Visiting Brian, on the list for later this year :-)
Thanks for the demo.
Thanks Brian this is awesome! Next on my list to do.
What is the reason no one seems to be splicing into the subwoofer 12v power line. It seems to be an obvious access point for trunk 12v power.
Hmm - looks like the connector thats need to be pulled through the rubber tube should be mounted later (TeslaOffer as changed this already for their version).
I also would recommend to connect the computer to the non permanent power available on the driver side footwell to avoid vampire drain. In case you do this I would add a second lower level fuse (eg. 15A) close by the computer so that you can easily change this instead of dismounting the footwell area when fuse is blown up.
BTW thanks for your vids - reselled (private initiative) now 25+ pairs of your front/trunk struts solution in Germany and Austria
The connector is going to be removed before they ship it so it is easier to get through the tube. I talked to them
@@i1Tesla 3+ weeks after order, I received the kit today, it does NOT have the improvements that you were told they would make, specifically the wire run thru the trunk lid electrical flex hose. It has all of the connectors on so it would be a bitch to fish thru the flex hose if even possible. I'm an electronics type so I'll be cutting and splicing my wires as needed to install. Also I did get the foot sensor, you must slice its wires into the opener harness yourself, no connectors provided for that part. Just a heads up for others.
Great video and good to learn there are options beyond the TeslaOffer kit. Sorry to correct you but I think the Frugal Tesla Guy is Mike Krueger (not Mark). He's Chief Meteorologist at KRCR TV in Redding CA.
Yes that is my mistake. He texted me on that but he looks like my friend Mark so I got confused
Hi!Can you please tell me how to calibrate the electric trunk drive. The previous owner installed the same set. Some kind of malfunction occurred, and now it did not open on its own, and at dawn the closure failed by mistake.
@i1Tesla With about 8 months of use, how is the rear window rubber gasket next to the truck actuators? I heard they get some wear and tear as apposed to the other company.
Thanks Brian
YOU ARE SUCH A TRUCK MAN - who did you say was DOIN the FRUNK?
Work it, work it
OMG I want this kit, thanks for doing your channel. I amazon'd your other lift kits without the motors, but hey, gota have goals ;)
It is wonderful. Way better than the one I came up with
Please do the frunk as well. And maybe the Model S frunk 👍👍👍👍
I will do the Model X frunk and the Frugal guy will do he 3 Frunk
@@i1Tesla yes I'm waiting for automating the X frunk.
I love your videos and I want a Tesla sooo bad
You do amazing work, Brian! Thank you so much for the discount code!
Question: Can you open the trunk by using the original method, or does that just unlock it for manual raising?
Thank you so much 😊
You can open the trunk from the trunk button on the trunk lid from outside the car, the app, the keyfob or the screen.
i1Tesla Thank you, Brian!
What is your 2/3 year review on the Hanshow power trunk? Thx
Good video. Thanks. I ordered the complete kit
Wonderful
Thanks Brian. So no sparking doing it this way? Was the car battery still connected and was the car powered down?
Still connected. Just loosen the bolt and slide it in
I'm glad someone found this mod less expensive. I never liked how the other versions use a separate switch to close the Front/Trunk. But this one has my interest! Not sure though that the foot sensor is something I need. I do wish there was an option for the trunk to automatically close when the car starts moving past a certain speed. Will the trunk stop closing if someones hand is in the way, like a Childs?
Yes it will stop. Forgot to film that
@@i1Tesla good to know! Thanks again for doing this video.
Brian, late response but have you considered or looked at the soft close door solution from Hansshow? If I was to spend on only on one product I think I would go for the soft close door solution since these doors seem to need more muscle to close than most. Just a thought. Keep up the great vids!!
I may talk to them about it. I have something else planned soon
Any solid details on how / if this mod impacts any aspects of the Tesla warranty? It would SUCK having a $60k car's warranty become null / void in any way.
Yeah you got it for free but do you also get a kickback when people use your referral code? Just curious in the interest of full disclosure.
Great video though not as detailed with the instructions on this one. Still far better than going off the included instructions.
Pretty soon we will be able to watch your tutorials from the Tesla screen!
Thanks again Brian. You're my go to guy for Tesla mod information and demo videos.
I got this for the video and I get a small kick back after 40 people use my code. Not counting on that as the product is $450 not 45.
@@i1Tesla Do you know any installers in the Bay Area for this?
Can the system be configured so that the car is able to see that the trunk is open? I think I would prefer it to operate like the frunk in the demo that Frugal Tesla Guy did. I understand that you won't be able to close the trunk with the touch screen but I don't think that will be an issue for me because I can use my key fob to close it if I find myself in the car while it is open.
Yes it can but you will have to reconnect the blue wire at the connects to the latch on the deck lid
Gee I can open my CMax Trunk from dashboard, Fob, or Foot. I can’t believe Tesla doesn’t do this already. This is supposed to be a Premium car??? By the way good video and you did good job.
Why TeslaOffer company also sell the same item for different price? The TeslaRaj recommend to buy from TeslaOffer company. So which one is the real deal or better compatibility but both looks the same wiring.
The other company offer $400 without discount. The other company actually own Tesla M3, MX and MS.
You can stop the beeping by just tapping the AP a bunch of times
The video I’ve been waiting for!!!
Do these modifications affect your car insurance policy?
Hi Brian. Can you explain in more detail what you disconnected to avoid sparking? Just don't want to make a big mistake! Thanks
The kit comes with an inline fuse that you connect to the battery. I removed the fuse to connected it to the battery. When I was all done and ready to power up after connecting the ground. Then I installed the fuse.
I am here in s. California. So this guy gonna install this for me. But looks like it's not soft close. He said it is. But he will have the frunk also next week. He sell n install yet.
It’s Mike from Frugal Tesla Guy 😜
Thanks for the video. Great job!
Have you verified that someone else with the app can't open your trunk if you're parked in a parking lot, and not around to prevent that
Nope, if they could, they could also drive the car away, the car is Bluetooth bound to your phone and no one else's.
Hi Brian, did purchase both frunk and trunk kits with your referral code and received them today. Thanks for your discount code. But i did not get the install manual with it. I see in the video that you have a guide with photos. Can you give me a link to that document? Thank you in advance. Greetings from the Netherlands! Frank
Contact Handshow for the most recent manual via their web site, they also have a link on the site.
Thanks for the video! It’s awesome how you mod your Tesla! Auto gang!
How long is the discount code good for? Indefinitely? 1 month? Thanks.
Forever. It is a great company
Thanks for the video!! Installing now and I just emailed you with a question
Awesome. Thank you. I really like this.
Awesome!
Thanks for the video Brian. Just wondering if the foot sensor is worth buying and installing. Do you use it often? Is it reliable to use? Or is it a waste of time for the most part?
I did not install it. i don't think I would ever use it.
Personally I like foot sensors, I added it to mine and it works very reliably. It is more of a project to install, but I was pulling my bumper anyway to install an "EcoHitch" stealth tow hitch for a Kuatt Bike rack.
Hi. Does your trunk close mid way if it felt someone trying to stop it manually. Not pushing the button
it will stop if your arm is in the way
Just ordered one! Thanks.
One question about passing the power out to the 12v. The manual/video suggests going through the driver's side. Is there a hole there to pass the wire? Or should I send it up the passenger side like you did and drill through that rubber seal?
You can do it either way. I did it that way because I just did it the other day for the sounds
Hansshow actually recommends that you connect to a pretty hard to reach 12V terminal in the drivers side kick panel, no running thru the firewall to the battery needed. It is a bit tedious but better in my opinion that connecting to the battery. Hansshow was pretty responsive to my questions.
This is awesome! I want to do my Model S frunk.
I think they are working on it.
I really want it installed in mine, but what about warrenty?
The only real change to the car is the latch mechanics and struts thayt are change from the original to 3rd party. Will that affect anything?
I know a simply change of the door lights will void the warrenty with the doors/windows. A member on a Danish forum told that his trim got scratched because the window rolled all the way up, while the door was open. But tesla refused to cover it because he change the puddle lights.
The only thing that Tesla could not cover is the latch. But if you have an issue just take everything off and then call Tesla.
Hi Brian, great video!
Do you know any reliable place in CLT that can install the power trunk on my M3?
Not yet but soon there will be one north of Raleigh
I see, thanks for the reply!
Brian, when you manually push the trunk close/open, or even when doing it through the automated system, is that sound/noise coming from the struts?
Yes that is the sound of the strut/actuator
How does it tie into the CAN bus? Any wire cutting or splicing required?
Watch the video. It dosen't tie until the canbus
No splicing or CAN bus wires.
Since this doesn't use the CAN, is this immune to breakage from Tesla updates? Will the manufacturer send updates if needed?
Just curious if anyone has had to purchase any of the white trunk retainer clips? If so, can you provide a link to where you got them. Thanks in advance.
I didn't get what you said about the car not knowing get if the trunk was closed or not? Doesn't the app show if the trunk is open or closed with this mod? I assume the latch only opens when the car senses that you phone is close to the car when using the foot sensor?
The car and the app think the trunk is closed. The foot sensor will only open if the phone is close to the car or it is unlocked
“I don’t want to void the warranty” this coming from the guy where most of the jacks he does voids the warranty
I have not voided my warranty. Tesla still services my car. I have only voided my rear seat warranty from cutting a hole in it for a ski passthrough
This is some good work. Is this kit different in any way, or have you changed its power source?
I have not changed the kit at all. This kit is different from the other kits out right now. It's better to me
@@i1Tesla different kit, nice
How about an automatic door opener and closer like the x? If they can make this it shouldn’t be that hard
That would be hard to do like the X. They have a soft close but it won't soft open.
Good job!
Brian, what are you going to do with the previous shocks? My auto open doesn't work all the time. If I can get those from you, I'll swap it out. Excellent video as always 👍
Come and get them
@@i1Tesla I may have to give you some money for shipping. I heard you mentioned that you'll be at blue ridge this weekend. We may be there. If so, I'll let you know and introduce myself to you. Great fan of your channel
It will be a fun weekend
I didn't realize that Tesla's had an intake. Is that an air intake that cools the battery?
Tesla's have an upper intake for cabin air and the lower intake (with electric shutter) to bring in air for the cabin A/C and Battery temperature management systems.
I wonder, is this affecting any warranty from Tesla?
No
Have you noticed any issues with it so far?
Hi, I've installed the same kit from hansshow, and tried to follow the manual to set a higher strength at closing. But for some reason the module can't enter the programming mode if I set the trunk lock to close status. Have you tried to configure this setting for smoother closing?
It took me a little bit to figure it out. Did you get it to open faster?
Hi Brian, do you know if the power cable can be hooked up to a switched power source, like spicing into the 12V cig adapter line under the armrest? I'm aware that this would limit the usage of the optional foot sensor, as there wouldn't be always-on power. But I'm not comfortable hooking up anything directly to the 12V battery... Thanks!
Maybe try tapping in to either the driver’s or passenger’s footwell.
Thanks to Jon Osborne
ua-cam.com/video/xl5rZBHsqdI/v-deo.html
You can hook it up to any power source but the car would have to wake up before the trunk is opened. So you would have to open a door before you open the trunk
I don't like the idea of having to slice open that cable shroud next to the right hand strut. Not at all. That's a big deal breaker for me.
They are shipping the units with the plastic end off so it will go through the tube. I talked to them and had them change it after the video
I don't get how this works if you don't tap into the CAN bus, maybe someone can explain. Both the app and the screen generate a CAN bus message to open the trunk. If the auto lift gate can't see that message, because you didn't tap into the bus, then how is it informed of the desired command?
magic
@@i1Tesla I'd like the real answer please. There has to be a tap of some kind if not on the bus elsewhere.
Vripiat Buzoi sorry 😐. No tap. There is a blue wire in the latch harness that is cut. This tricks the car into thinking the trunk is closed. That is why you see the trunk open and then it shows it closed right away. The only thing you are attaching to the car is to the front battery and ground. Works every time so far. I think you will be happy with it
Yes, it does open when driving *if you have the footwell sensor*, so I recommend that you *not* get that (not smart enough to sense you are driving - I believe it is the footwell sensor seeing pavement changes it mistakes for foot swipes). Opened 3 times on me while driving, so I removed the fuse for the sensor to disable it.
rich1383yt this is what happens when you don’t tap the can. Other companies that tap the can bus does so to keep the safety in tact like not opening when I’m drive. My trunk stays shut shut with foot sensor
The foot sensor has a 20cm (8 inch) sensing range, perhaps mounting it further back in the bumper housing, up the rear a bit. This would allow it to point rearward and down (like a 45 degree down pattern if viewed from the side) this is to not sense the ground as easily. I think I'll ask Hansshow about this issue, thanks for the heads up.
I have now installed my system, with foot sensor. I asked Hansshow about this and they sent me a video of the testing, the trunk will not open by foot or rear stock button if the car is moving at all. I have been driving mine for a week and the trunk does not open by itself period. The foot sensor needs to see a quick "kick" towards it for about 1/3 of a second to trigger plus it is ignored when the car is moving.
If you run the wires from the struts through the main harness on the trunk. How is that done on the Frunk?
Ne box up in the frunk as well
Who installs this on the east coast?
I contacted hansshow and they referred me to someone in New York for me (I live in Brooklyn). I got a 15% discount for both the kits and install. The guy is charging $430 for installing both the frunk and trunk.
The window in your trunk? is that something you added? I have seen it on a few videos, mine does not have this?
On the top? that is a screen that Tesla had in the early 3's.
I want this so bad! I think I could do this myself, but I'm not sure I weant to pay $500 pluis 12 hours of my time (I'm slow when doing this stuff) :P What do you think of using welding wire as a fish tape? So tempted, but I honestly have too many projects to do. Is there someplace I can get this installed for under $1000?
Great mod! 👌
I would like to install it to my model X's frunk. Can I buy the same kits for Model 3? Would you have a video for Model X auto frunk as well? Many thanks!!!
I am doing the frunk in my X this week
@@i1Tesla I appreciate your quick response and sharing. Thanks again.
HOW COOL!
I imagine if you do any wire tapping, Tesla will make it very hard to get any electrical work done under warranty and force you to prove it’s not the TeslaOffer powerlift gate.
They will see that the wires aren't tapped
i1Tesla I meant on the TeslaOffer lift gate
No warranty issue with it
i1Tesla maybe for now, but like you said in your video, a software update happens, and things change.
Not for this unit
I know you can open it by linking siri to Iphone with the Tesla app, but is it possible to do it also with android?
I think you can do it with alexa. So maybe through the Android alexa app. But that would not be “ok google”.
Brian,
What enables the trunk closure from the screen? How does it work by itself? I just finished installing the other kit Saturday. Since the hardware is made by the the same company, I have to assume the only difference is the brain unit. I take it the only tap into the can bus id via the trunk light harness?
it's probably just independently alternating between open and close. the app sends the "open" message no matter what, but the unit then interprets it as a "close".
Nathan Blaisdell , it certainly does that via the App. But the on screen button greys out. Brian, didn’t really focus on the on screen button closure. I wonder what makes the button go live again making it usable.
@@dennisschlieckau8723 ah good catch. I'm curious to know too.
@Dennis As per the video, this mod tricks the car into thinking the the trunk is closed even when it’s open, so the on-dashboard button is still functioning, allowing it to send a signal to the kit’s controller. Since the controller knows when the trunk is actually open, it will interpret the signal to mean "close" in that circumstance.
In the trunk switch there is a blue wire that will tell the computer that the trunk is open. That wire is cut to tell the computer it is closed. If you connect the wire back up the computer will know and display the correct placement of the door and in the app. But you wont be able to close the trunk from the screen.
Hey Brian I’m in So Cal. Can you recommend any places I can get this installed? Also, how is this kit able to close the trunk from the touchscreen? I thought that wasn’t possible with other kits. Thanks!
It is not possible with the other kits. There is a wire in the switch harness that talks to the computer to let it know it the trunk is open or closed. This one make the car think the trunk is closed so the button will open it.
@@i1Tesla Thanks Brian
@@i1Tesla Also, is it possible to close the frunk from the touchscreen/app?
Yes
So does it open and close from control of the boot release and not the CAN?
Yes it opens from the boot release button and closes from it to but it is hard to reach the button when the trunk is open
Thanks Brian however I guess I'm asking about the connections...does it connect to the boot solenoid wires? the toggles it up and down?
@@alicetronics-jaycarsplatin5629 Yes, the kit installs with connectors to tap into the boot solenoid and also the boot release button. They use mating connectors with short 10cm pigtails which allows this without modifying the car wiring at all, well thought out.
Fronts easier to install than the rear
Should be
Where do I find these links
Where does it connect in the battery it was unclear didn’t get the exact price
It attaches right to the positive terminal and the price is $450 after the 10% discount code. Trunk or frunk. Plus $45 for the foot sensor if you want that
i1Tesla thanks
It will definitely OPEN at 100mph - secret # (test required) 😳 .... AND please make sure you always LOCK your Tesla DOWN - absolutely NO LOCKING Tesla's UP! NoNoNo
Nice from india.
Pretty cool but not $450 cool
If you had a Tesla 450 wouldn’t be a lot to get rid of a major inconvenience
Who else has it cheaper?
@@jrslugwell yes it is . My tesla isnt 100k like the model s guys. I'm still pinching pennies lol
Nobody has it cheaper unless you go in and buy a group rate. This is the company that makes all the parts for all the company other companies
@@i1Tesla It's definitely a fair price just not worth it to me. Also one thing you'll have to remember is to not forget to check the trunk/rear window for rain/snow so it doesn't slide into the trunk when it's opened.
Can’t find the link. How to order @brian
