Clear detail. A+++++
This is an amazing tutorial, thank you very much.
This post need to be removed!!! It is damaging cars!
does this work with 2021 ?
Nice video! Audio levels were too low in this edit though ;-)
Does this activate speaker on the door as well? (Near side mirrors) if so whats the diff of this on buying teslaoffer/hauto audio upgrade kit
This video has the connection for the mirror speakers: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m3mbw5epaa62XZc.html I did this before the TeslaOffer/Hansauto kit was available. The concept is the same - tapping into an existing signal to connect the other speakers. The kit makes it easier, but you still need to buy the pricier kits to get the amp or sub.
Your voice is MUCH too low...the music interferes.
Amazing! 😳
Awesome job! Where did you buy that yellow tool? What is it called ?
Amazon amzn.to/3kWKRNK It's sometimes called a Turbo Squeegee and it's often used to install window tint and PPF.
Was it difficult getting the B Pillar removed?
You don't have to remove it - just open it enough to get access. Once you pop the clip it, the bottom opens up for access.
DIY by Albert ok thanks
This sounds so complicated. on Hansshow channel they have a wiring harness for enabling the six speakers and it’s just basically finding the plugs and plugging their wiring harness into it.
I recently saw that too - the harness does seem to make it easier. I did this before they launched that. I wouldn't personally power the additional speakers without an additional amp though.
DIY by Albert Yeah should definitely have a subwoofer and amp with it.
DIY by Albert Would this be the process for someone with a model 3 standard range or plus. Purchase wiring harness to enable all 14 speakers then purchase an amp and sub?
It should be the same for both. I think the SR is just a software locked plus model. If it's a 2020 or later model, you may need to wire in the rear speakers as they may not be physically present.
Hello @2:40 you had a huge finger going at the top but your video skipped to when it was tacked down. May I please ask what you did to bring that finger down given I noticed you had tacked the surrounding area of it? Thank you.
I must have missed the process when cutting the clips together. I pulled the film down (after using the tack solution) and tacked it to an adjacent panel as well for ease of keeping the film in place (more surface tension). The panel gaps are pretty wide around the headlight of this car so I was able to trim the film using the gap in this area and was able to wrap the edge. Note: this was not possible for the lower edge of the headlight.
Thank you @@diybyalbert127 for sharing. Great job for a DIY, got the job done and in a short time too
Just added a subwoofer. Sounds great. Planning to add the Alpine KTP-445u, tap front and rear signals to keep the fader working.
Are you going to add rear speakers ?
My car has the rear speakers (2019 model). Quick outline of the wiring of the amp to power them here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m3mbw5epaa62XZc.html
Will this work on the Standard range Model 3 as well?
I would assume so since the SR I believe is just a software locked SR+
What state are you in? I want to pay you to upgrade my audio
Would this void the warranty of the car?
That's a good question! I'm under the assumption it will not void the warranty for the car. In the US, the manufacturer has to prove that the mod caused the damage itself. But it may depend where you are in the world. tsportline.com/blogs/owners-guide/will-installing-aftermarket-parts-void-my-tesla-warranty
@@diybyalbert127 I live in the USA as well. I live in MD.
@@diybyalbert127 It looks difficult to me and I aint handy in such things! Can I take it to a shop ask them do it for me?
Some audio shops can do it. I seen some advertise it, but most seem to be in Cali.
I wish you showed how you took apart the vehicle like you did in your A Pillar video...
I'll likely include taking the back seat apart when my amp gets here for the subwoofer install.
This is awesome! Pretty bummed about the lack of premium audio options in the SR+. I'll probably do this with mine once it arrives (ordered last month)
Go for it! Removing the rear deck on the 2020's to install the rear speakers doesn't look fun.
Did you do it? I’m gonna do it when my sr+ arrives
Looking forward to see the completed project.
What year is your car?
2019
@@diybyalbert127 hm have to check this in my M3 2020 when it arrives.
Thank you for this video. It helped me connect an amp with a subwoofer + the rear dash speakers. I didn't connect the tweeters but it already sounds a lot better.
Nice thanks for this tutorial, I’m thinking of giving it a shot
This is the best Tesla tutorial channel. You rock!
Did you have to add bass blockers for the tweeters?
Yes, I added it after. The sound was too harsh without it. I still find the front tweeters a little too overpowering that I might end up tapping the dash speakers for the fade and balance and to lower the gain.
@@diybyalbert127 So, I am interested in just activating the mirror tweeters, not the rear shelf speakers. In order to do that, would I still need an amplifier?
I think the mirror tweeters are 35w speakers so running them in parallel to a tapped connection would not be enough power to split between 2 speakers. But you can use a cheaper 2 channel amp though.
Have you added a subwoofer? Would love to see a tutorial on how you do that.
I haven't yet but it is planned. I want to use the OEM sub to keep it stock and not to potentially lose any trunk space. I missed out on a well priced one on eBay yesterday.
@@diybyalbert127 Would love an in-depth tutorial on how you do the sub. This is a great video! Thank you so much for sharing. I subbed!
Thanks for the video! Did you only use slip solution (water + soap) to squeegee down? or did you also use tack solution (water + alcohol)?
For most of it, I just squeegeed out the slip solution because it's pretty flat. I did have to use tack solution for the wrapped edges to get it to stay down.
Help please! I was able to get the mirror off, but I can’t pop it back in. Can you describe how to reattach it?
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It seems you are not the only one. I have since added a disclaimer to the video. I shot a close up of the mirror this evening. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zmt7ubRrksuzYJs.html The first time I did it, I had to move wiggle and move it around many times. Push down and in because you lifted up and pulled out to remove. My video was one shot because I done this on 2 other cars already.
So I don’t recommend using this video. Yes I got one side done, the other I couldn’t get the mirror back on right. Ended up with a half engaged mirror that I may need to fully replace ... in the future please spend more time on how to safely remove and reattach mirror instead of a quick clip saying oh it’s easy
So sorry to hear that Daniel. Did you turn off the auto fold mirrors before you removed it? It sounds like it's not seated correctly. I'm not a technical expert but try power folding it a few times, it may catch on again.
@@diybyalbert127 yeah, I've tried folding and unfolding to get it to catch, but to no avail. Then tried to pop it out again but cant get it out now. Seems it may have "caught" a quarter turn from the rightt spot or something... SC says it needs a new mirror, but I'm hoping I can just get it to pop in. Very frustrating. I'm in Mountain View if you want to give it a shot and are nearby
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have added a disclaimer to the video. The motor itself is on the mirror not the base. If it turns when the mirror power folds, and no plastic is stripped, the mirror should be fine. I shot a close up this evening. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zmt7ubRrksuzYJs.html When I first did it, I had to move wiggle and move it around many times. Push down and in. My video was one shot because I done this on 2 other cars already.
@@diybyalbert127 Yeah, brought it to Tesla, it is not repairable. Wiggled it around plenty of times. The problem is if it "catches" on the wrong part of the mirror it is now stuck there... If it is not the right angle it will not be able to come off again and you can't get it in the right place either.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Like you said, it'll give people who want to take this project on more confidence to do this. Awesome! Would have loved to see a longer video!
Did you end up having to buy the Audio Control LC7i? Didn't see it on your list
I didn't use the LC7i. I used a cheap Scosche line output converter because I didn't want to spend the extra money or find a place to hide the LC7i. If I hadn't bought it already I would have just cut off the RCA plugs of the amp and wire the input directly. I tried shooting the full install but it didn't turn out that well because in some places there wasn't a lot of room to work with.
Did you disconnect the car’s main battery power before popping the mirror off? I’d be worried about damaging the internal motor
I turned off auto fold from the settings. You can also power down the car from the settings as well.
Are you going to post a part 3?
Yes. Should be up within the next week. Got side tracked by the audio upgrade for the SR+
So Asian
Excellent job you did much better on the lower part in me paying professional $6k.
Pro tip : watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Lucian Kendrick yup, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
Very informative video I can applaud you from doing it from scratch however wouldn't be easier just to get to Niko Chrome Delete precut kit? Or the cost-saving a lot more better from scratch 50%?
The Nikola Pro precut kits or any other brands are an easier option. The Nikola Pro kit, IMHO has too many pieces for the mirror - but it has many pieces for ease of installation. There is some cost savings with the bulk or the 2" roll. I also don't have to line up the pieces like with a precept kit and I happen to have a lot of time on my hands with the lockdown.
@@diybyalbert127 that makes good sense Albert but does it look cleaner than the pre-cut kids I don't know yet I'm about to start on it can I ask for your help are you here in the Bay Area California
I emailed you close ups.
Good isolation project! Ordered materials and waiting for it to arrive.
I usually don't leave comments but this is the best DIY chrome delete video I've seen by far and I usually wouldn't expect seeing any good content from videos with not many views. You definitely deserve to have your video on the first page when searching for this topic! Keep up the good work and thanks a lot for these videos! They really helped me out a lot! :)
alex .m2z agreed!
Good job bro!
nice work
