Good video, nice to see one with the updated Hansshow kit. One thing, I wouldn't have fully disconnected the battery in that way... better to simply hold it in place firmly while slipping the harness connectors under the nuts and refastening immediately. Also, you may want to point out that the hood when finished latching should be ever so slightly lower for aerodynamic purposes.
Glad they made the wire harness longer , I have the previous version and it’s super short and can only mount it under the bumper-looks like they decided to copy the EV offer version
Just Installed on our New 2024 M Y Fremont version. Works great only took ~2-Hours. U would definitely recommend. (New controller version, Button is on the side - white silicone cover with button located on white silicone cover, also Red LED shows thru Silicone cover)
Sorry for the confusion! The only difference is the lithium ion battery has one slightly different connection. You can see a photo of this in this blog: blog.tesbros.com/install-hansshow-power-funk-2023-tesla-model-y/
VERY helpful! The module and wiring have changed significantly AGAIN since you published this video but you greatly helped my install since other how-to videos' components are drastically different and the provided written instructions are not only ancient and almost irrelevant but also have blurry photos and skip crucial steps. The new module doesn't have a button on the face like yours did, but rather has a silicon strip on the edge opposite the connector that protects some kind of port plus the LED plus a tiny button that you kind of have to already know is there. You just press a nub on the silicone strip to actuate the button the same way as you describe in the video. The connector from the wires to the module is completely different and no longer includes that nifty little lever to lock it down. It's now much more like any other connector. Also, rather than being a separate piece the splice-in wire for the OEM motor is now incorporated into that mess of wires that connect to the main module. With the large HEPA filter on my 2023 Model Y I couldn't mount the main module where you did. I ended up mounting it on the interior of the passenger wheel well where there were no other wires in the way and using the double sided tape to mount it vertically on a slight angle so I could plug in the wire connector without interfering with the filter. I took advantage of one of the several holes through the wheel well to run a screw through one of my module anchor brackets and used some old rubber spacers and blue loctite to solidly anchor it to the car.
You can take out the plastic clips that hold the wiper trim on. Then pull up a little on that trim to get much more room to see and put your hand and tools in there to get the shock bolt out and bracket in. Just an FYI. You did it the hard way 😊
This was a super helpful video. Thank you! Two questions: 1) when the frunk is closing and gets about 10” from being done it drops suddenly. It is not smooth like in the video. I’ve tried resetting the controller but it continues to do this. 2) I cannot get the passenger side to not sink too low. Can I adjust the length of the struts? I don’t want to try unless that is an OK thing to do.
thanks for the content. question on durability since I see comments here or on other platforms that the hansshow v5 system has some issues after time. Did you experience anything similar or yours is still up and smoothly running?
The alarm will go off if someone tries. However, the frunk cannot be opened through the emergency cable - it only unlocks the electric suction lock if it's burnt out and in suction state. So, it would release that so you can open the frunk with the app or touchscreen.
What is the solution to connect to the new 2023 MYLR 16V LITHIUM BATTERY? Is it true the new 16V battery set up detects the draw and causing it to throw errors?
A lot of people say not to buy these bc the hood can come up whole driving or if a side fails to open it will bent the hood. Have you heard of anything like this?
Maybe a stupid question; if someone watches me open my frunk and sees that it's an automatic, therefore aftermarket version, wouldn't that give potential thieves an easy target to everything in my frunk using the emergency release?
That’s a good question. Yes, if they know about the emergency release then that’s a possibility. But If your car is locked when someone tries to open the Frunk like that, the alarm should go off
Im assuming because of all of the pass-thru cabling that ties into existing cables, that this will still work to open the fronk from the inside of the vehicle?
Great video, thanks for putting this together. How come the light on the button stopped working at the very end of the video? Also, are you able to show the functionality of the emergency cable? We saw it installed but never tested. Thanks!
Thanks for asking these questions! The light is on now. It was off for a second as it was powering up since it was just reconnected. If you pull the cable, it'll release the latch to open it up manually. Would you like to see a video of this part?
Hmmmm what if I have a model y from Austin??? The kit I ordered from hansshow didn’t come with brackets for the struts. Does that mean model y from Austin don’t need brackets for the struts ?
We haven't installed one on the Austin build unfortunately. Reach out to Hansshow support if you have questions with install. Sorry we couldn't be helpful!
No, this is a DIY product. You might could find a shop that works on Teslas and is familiar with this that could install it for you. It does not void warranty.
@@tesbros I forgot to take a picture of it. Where you mounted it on top of that cross brace I mounted it behind it. Between the brace and the, I guess the firewall if that is what it is called. It is in ICE cars. Not sure what the EV term is.
Good question. The frunk cannot be opened through the emergency cable - it only unlocks the electric suction lock if it's burnt out and in suction state. So, it would release that so you can open the frunk with the app or touchscreen.
If the center is sticking up but the rest is fine, it's possible the brackets being misaligned could cause that middle to buckle. Check your brackets first and make sure they are sitting correctly and securely tightened. If that seems fine, incrementally adjust your latch to line up horizontally and then focus on vertically. Checking one aspect at a time really helped me.
@@tesbros thanks I did notice my driver side bracket for the struts doesn’t sit flush up against the body of the car and it bends a little maybe I’ll stick a washer on that side to see if it fixes. Thoughts on the rubber height adjuster
Everything went well and no matter what I do how many times I reset I can't get this thing to close on its own. It makes the unlocking mechanism sound but won't actually come down via power. Is it an ECU problem? Is there a reason for the two extra plugs the d6?
Hansshow does have a kit for the Model S - www.hautopart.com/collections/model-s-accessories/products/tesla-model-s-power-frunk - but we don't have a video on it yet. It's very similar to the process in this MY video though. Here's Hansshow's latest video on Model S plaid install that hopefully helps too - ua-cam.com/video/SOhWr7c02dU/v-deo.html
Does it gives problems with the new battery instead of the old 12v one ? Wondering if the 2023 Berlin cars are identical to install ? Just received my quicksilver y performance and looking in to this autofrunk.
It's the same install except for that power connection being slightly different. There's a photo in our blog of what that connection looks like on the 16v - blog.tesbros.com/install-hansshow-power-funk-2023-tesla-model-y/
The fail safe cord will release the latch...but what about the struts? Aren't they motorized so will the frunk be able to be pulled opened without power?@@tesbros
Looks like Hansshow upgraded the kit again (still V5). Apart from the fuse cable, everything is all connected to the main cable harness now. Also, the controller box is different. Q: What are the 2 smaller bolt for (not the larger bolts holding the strut brackets)? They're shown still in the plastic bag in your video. Q: When using the Tesla app, I cannot get the frunk to close. It works just fine to open. The screen controls inside the car works fine too (open/close) Any help on these?
I bought a Y that already had the kit installed, but it's not closing properly now. The frunk is coming down, but I have to push it to shut it like it's a factory setup. Do you have any ideas for troubleshooting this issue?
@@tesbros I have the 4.3 version, and found out the suction control box isn't water proof, and it was full of water. The original installer mounted it in a bad position, so I have a replace coming.
I ran into an issue after installing. When closing the frunk, the passenger side has a bigger gap than the driver side. How do you adjust that? Also before I put the frunk bucket in, it closes properly. After I put the bucket in, it closes down and popups higher not flat. Anyone was having the same issue able to help me out? Thanks.
Have you tried adjusting the latch? If you loosen the two bolts and raise it up, this might fix both issues. You might have to adjust a few times before it fits exactly right with no gaps.
I put it on my previous Model Y and it was on for over a year before the car was totaled. I've only had this one on for a couple of months now. Haven't had any issues. I would say to make sure the bracket placement is correct; that seems to be an issues for some people.
My 2023 (Fremont) MODEL Y LR does not have a conventional battery as the one in your video. It has a 16V LION battery with no real way to access its terminals... so???? What do you recommend?
Check out the link in the description that goes to the blog. There’s a photo there of what the connection is supposed to look like. Let me know if that helps.
@@tesbros Thanks - I did connect it to the orange plastic covered 16VDC positive terminal hanging from the cowling, I was a bit concerned to connect a 12V device to a 16V source. So far it seems to be fine. I did have 6 leftover parts that appear no where in the installation manual or this video. (1)An stainless steel tipped, orange plastic covered steel cable about 2' long, (2)&(3) two different small Phillips fine threaded screws, (4)a weird looking double looped fine steel cable with a spring and a red funnel shaped plastic cover, (5) & (6)and a couple 3" x 6" pieces of double side foam tape.

I like this version (v5) and what I also did, I detached the small speaker after adjusting the speed. Nice video! Many greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thank you! And yeah, that speaker is pretty loud
Newest update on older car with lead battery and not lithium ion battery. Very helpful indeed
Sorry for the confusion! The only difference is the lithium ion battery has one slightly different connection. You can see a photo of this in this blog: blog.tesbros.com/install-hansshow-power-funk-2023-tesla-model-y/
VERY helpful! The module and wiring have changed significantly AGAIN since you published this video but you greatly helped my install since other how-to videos' components are drastically different and the provided written instructions are not only ancient and almost irrelevant but also have blurry photos and skip crucial steps.
The new module doesn't have a button on the face like yours did, but rather has a silicon strip on the edge opposite the connector that protects some kind of port plus the LED plus a tiny button that you kind of have to already know is there.

Have you made sure the brackets are in the correct orientation? This might help with both problems. And no, can't change the length of the struts
@@tesbros Thanks for the feedback. I'll check that and keep working the problem. Take care!
Good luck!
thanks for the content. question on durability since I see comments here or on other platforms that the hansshow v5 system has some issues after time. Did you experience anything similar or yours is still up and smoothly running?
I haven't had any issues on this car or my last Model Y that also had a power frunk
Question, can anyone just undo the tow hook cover, pull the cord, and get inside of the frunk while the car is locked and parked?
The alarm will go off if someone tries. However, the frunk cannot be opened through the emergency cable - it only unlocks the electric suction lock if it's burnt out and in suction state. So, it would release that so you can open the frunk with the app or touchscreen.
I am looking at having this done to my 2023 Model X. My question is, will it impact the warranty (for the battery) since it’s aftermarket?
No and it is easily reversible. Also look into Magnuson-Moss Act that states that aftermarket parts does not void warranty.
great information Sir. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! How is it holding up? Any reliability issues?
Still going strong!
What is the solution to connect to the new 2023 MYLR 16V LITHIUM BATTERY?
Is it true the new 16V battery set up detects the draw and causing it to throw errors?
I'm not aware of the errors but if you reach out to support@tesbros.com, we can send you the PDF on how to connect to the 16v.
A lot of people say not to buy these bc the hood can come up whole driving or if a side fails to open it will bent the hood. Have you heard of anything like this?
No, haven’t heard of either. It opens from the latch, so it either opens or doesn’t. There aren’t sides to it where one side can open and one can’t.
Maybe a stupid question; if someone watches me open my frunk and sees that it's an automatic, therefore aftermarket version, wouldn't that give potential thieves an easy target to everything in my frunk using the emergency release?
