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.
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.
This is the only video I found that knew exactly what to do on the 2022 Model 3. I would have never figured the driver side audio was connected on the passenger side lower sill area where you used the wood to help hold it out.
Hi, I'm French and I bought the audio upgrade one week ago, but I was stressed to do it. Your video is very clear, precise and reassuring and so I will try next year. I will telle you about. Thank you
Same for me, I will try the installation next Saturday... If the weather will be enough nice. FR : je vais faire l'installation samedi prochain... Si le temps le permet 😅 Very nice video, much more useful than the official Hansshow videos...
I installed the kit this Sunday and... I understood why you didn't show the end 😂. It's very difficult to hide the cables 😮 But all is working fine and I'm really happy. Hanshow should reference your video amon their website 🎉
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!
Excellent! Just finished and everything went well. Pointers: watch the video through before starting Don't rush - plastic scratches and breaks Put passenger seat all the way back before power down Use a flat head to push on side of clips to release them After pulling the black clip that's hard to reach, connect the replacement white before connecting the original black to the harness The hardest part for me was putting the new white into the computer box where the black had been.
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
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.
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
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.
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🤷🏻♂️
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.
i did this a few weeks ago, the first plug is so hard to get too, but took around 45 min to do. would recommend, but as expected, bass is still very bad
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!
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 video. I just installed this kit in my 2022 M3, and it works well. However i noticed, that the audio is a little louder on the driver side than on the passenger. Did anyone else have that problem?
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.
That first plug was an absolute Muther to install!!!!! Sound like most other tubers mentioned is subtle but there nonetheless. Wish I had a sub though. But that is a wee expensive to do…..
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
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?
Great video! Have you noticed any difference in max volume? Or does the amp automatically take into account the extra power draw from the 4 speakers. Thanks again!
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.
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
Great video. That first black plug is easy to get out but very hard to get the new plug in that spot. I was freaking out thinking I could not get it into that tight space. You can make it easier by removing the white plug below it first. I found it almost impossible to get the new black plug in without taking the white one below it out. Once I took out the white one, the new one went where the black one was quite easliy. Then I just plugged the white one back. Sounds great and an easy upgrade after that first step. I did it while installing a Aroham ambient light kit.
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?
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
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?.
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.
Crazy they include the speakers but not the harness, like why not save $ and weight by not including the speakers and extra wiring??? Also no software changes needed....interesting.
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
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
Question, after I watched your video and ordered the cable from your link and installed it, it was working great for about 2 weeks Has any of your followers had any issue with either side? Stop playing cuz right now the right side stopped working all of the tweeters did on the right side
@@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)?
Other owners commented does not void warranty. Your just connecting speaker not being used. Sound is more immersed. Not sure if it takes volume from others
Because i heard the premium speakers have 2 amps to enable those speakers and just hooking the harness in theory just makes the noise “louder” not better , and not enough amps to properly powering thr additional 4 speakers
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
I installed the hansshow DIY harness on my 2023 model 3 and it was underwhelmed. My right side speakers didn't work when the cabin temperature got too high (30C/86F outside). Hansshow started a service ticket with me but stopped responding after day 1, and it's been 20 days with 8-10 unanswered messages. I ended up uninstalling it. Wouldn't have minded the "underwhelming" results if the harness worked properly for me, so I'm indifferent. Great value to have 4 extra speakers for $59 USD!
Interesting because I had the same problem with the right side not working. It was also warm that day but don’t understand why that would affect how it would not work. Will try to reinstall and see if it was a connection problem.
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?
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.
Did you just assume that you have to unplug the 12v battery or it's actually confirmed that you would get fault errors? I would prefer to not mess with the battery
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.
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?
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
Just did the install. The new speakers sound is pretty minimal, most is still coming from the front speaker. Is this the case? Should I be noticing a huge difference? I have to hold my ear to the speaker to try and hear sound
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 :)
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.

Few things to note, if you're going to do this:

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.
this will be key in helping me in my mod, great work
Glad I could help
That first plug was an absolute Muther to install!!!!!
Sound like most other tubers mentioned is subtle but there nonetheless. Wish I had a sub though. But that is a wee expensive to do…..
I agree
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
Got mine done today - took a bit of patience but all connected as described and sounds great.
Great to hear
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.
Here is speed test from my latest 1800W build

Thank you
I'm buying the Long Range, or Performance. But somehow I stopped and watched this video anyway. Thanks for sharing.... lol
Okay
Going to assume this is the same process for the Right hand side 2022 Model 3, with everything still being in the same spots? Great vid, thanks :)
That is correct
Is there still only one side to remove the panels from on the 2023 right hand drive? Thanks, great vid!
Yes only one side
Pretty cool.. bizarre how Tesla wouldn't just activate the speakers though
Cheaper to build same module for all 4 trim levels
I believe that it’s so we void the warranty early into ownership
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?
Blue end of harness plugs into the unused socket on the car in the door jam
funny, this is exactly where I lost track of what was going where.
Great video! Have you noticed any difference in max volume? Or does the amp automatically take into account the extra power draw from the 4 speakers. Thanks again!
Its not much louder, but the sound is much more immersive
The subwoofer isn't present in the rwd Sr+ 2023 though right?
@@sergiolanatta7087nope. No sub.
I tried 3 differing cables in my 2021 SR+ however none matched. I have a 2023 arriving in a couple of weeks - now I have the video will try again
Okay
I’m not convinced this kit works for 2021. The computer and black connector is different
Thank you very much. This helped a lot
Glad it could help
How many hidden speakers in 23 Model 3 RWD? Some says 4 and some says 6?
4 in the a pillar. 2020 and earlier had 6, 4 in the A pillar and 2 in rear deck
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.
let me know what you find out
Did you figure out what went wrong?
Great video. Anyone have had problems with the bance on the speakers?
Speakers small & don’t emmet a lot of sound compared to larger speakers
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.
Did you order harness from Hanshow or Aliexpress?
@@BRichSolution Hansshow
I had this same issue, but for the passanger side. Also bought from Hansshow. Did you take delivery recently? My 2023 was built May/June 2023
@@thedhdrake March build, from Fremont.
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
Great information this could be my first electric but don’t understand why this isn’t done from the factory?
Cheaper to make one model for all cars and tesla doesn’t connect to delineate trim levels
@@BRichSolution thanks..probably this audio upgrade is standard on the dual motor trim…
Great video. That first black plug is easy to get out but very hard to get the new plug in that spot. I was freaking out thinking I could not get it into that tight space. You can make it easier by removing the white plug below it first. I found it almost impossible to get the new black plug in without taking the white one below it out. Once I took out the white one, the new one went where the black one was quite easliy. Then I just plugged the white one back. Sounds great and an easy upgrade after that first step. I did it while installing a Aroham ambient light kit.
All good ideas
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?
The DYI new version wite harness you only have to remove 3 panels on the right side
I have 2022 with the old chip, is the same harness works? It says amd on the website they sell these. Thank you
So activating this speakers means almost the same as the more premium system. What left in compare to the premium? the amps and the subwoofer right?
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
@@BRichSolution lmk if u make a video on that
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 😊
Yes works on 2021 model
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?.
What do you think about it decreasing the impedance at the ICE, since the speakers are wired in parallel?
I don’t have a good enough ear to tell the difference
I’m not really educated on speakers, do you mind explaining what you mean by “decreasing the impedance at the ICE”?
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.
For sure
Does this add any bass? Ik it would be like an actual subwoofer but a lil something would be nice
Not much bass, speakers are small more filling sound
Do you know how this will affect me if I want to setup a subwoofer later? Or will I be okay to do this now and then doe the subwoofer later?
If you want subwoofer buy the package on hanshow with the subwoofer and use code BrichTesla to get 15% off
@@BRichSolution Should I do the speaker activation first? or will it interfere with the subwoofer upgrade? Could you send a link to it?
I had this one on my 23 model 3 rwd. But passenger side top speaker is not working. Any iideas? Please help!!
Werid one speaker not working. Not sure what to do. Try rebooting the car?
I’ll try!! Thanks
Crazy they include the speakers but not the harness, like why not save $ and weight by not including the speakers and extra wiring??? Also no software changes needed....interesting.
Probably cheaper for supplier to build one configuration
@@BRichSolution yes not that crazy lol
So if I’m ordering a 2023 Model 3 RWD now, which harness do I order? Thanks for the video, it would have taken me forever to figure that out.
The harness for 2022 model 3 with Amd chip
@@BRichSolution On the video, is this the Right Hand side or Left Hand side harness?
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
Installed the harness several times. Harness failed to activate the 4 tweeter speakers
Hanshow or Aliexpress version?
Hansshow
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
Install harness
Question, after I watched your video and ordered the cable from your link and installed it, it was working great for about 2 weeks
Has any of your followers had any issue with either side? Stop playing cuz right now the right side stopped working all of the tweeters did on the right side
This is the first issue I have ever heard of. Maybe a bad cable?
I had the same issue - was it the cable? Did you ever get it to work??
I have a 22 MYP. Aren’t the pillar speakers for the immersive sound which is something that RWD and SR+ don’t have?
Yes, thats why activating the speakers makes the sound more immersive but not as good a performance which has A subwoofer
Any idea if this would influence warranty when you bring in the car for issues in the future?
Many other people commented no
This does not include the speakers in the back and a subwoofer. Is there an easy way to add thise speakers?
Yes Hanshow sell kit to add the rear speakers and sub but its $750 and you have to take a part a lot more of the car
Is anybody experiencing distortion from the pillar speakers at high listening volume?
I haven’t
@@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)?
Doesnt this mess with the speakers because theres less power for the rest of the speaker. Does this void warrant?
Other owners commented does not void warranty. Your just connecting speaker not being used. Sound is more immersed. Not sure if it takes volume from others
Because i heard the premium speakers have 2 amps to enable those speakers and just hooking the harness in theory just makes the noise “louder” not better , and not enough amps to properly powering thr additional 4 speakers
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
Been 9 days and they haven’t shipped the cable, so far I do not recommend
I think mine i had no tracking info for about a week and then it showed up in 10-12 days
Bought mine on May 5, tracking was received the next day, now shows that it has cleared customs. Hopefully this week is here.
I installed the hansshow DIY harness on my 2023 model 3 and it was underwhelmed. My right side speakers didn't work when the cabin temperature got too high (30C/86F outside). Hansshow started a service ticket with me but stopped responding after day 1, and it's been 20 days with 8-10 unanswered messages. I ended up uninstalling it. Wouldn't have minded the "underwhelming" results if the harness worked properly for me, so I'm indifferent. Great value to have 4 extra speakers for $59 USD!
Sorry to hear that
Interesting because I had the same problem with the right side not working. It was also warm that day but don’t understand why that would affect how it would not work. Will try to reinstall and see if it was a connection problem.
Did the addition of this overload the small speakers and distort when at loud volumes?
No
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!
Yes it will fit a 2023 model. The car in video is a 2023 model 3
is disconnecting the batteries necessary? I've seen other video where the installer didn't do that..
Not sure… i just saw in other videos if you didn’t you could get a fault code.
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?
Yes try connecting to the front connector and see if you get speakers to work
@@BRichSolution Do you know which 2 I would connect to? There is no videos online on this way
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.
Yes all SR and RWD the cars built with speakers but not hooked up so tesla can delineate the trim level
Did you just assume that you have to unplug the 12v battery or it's actually confirmed that you would get fault errors? I would prefer to not mess with the battery
Instructions from hanshow say to disconnect the 12v
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
I agree
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.
cost cutting that's why
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?
2021 & 2022 SR+ and 2023 rwd and 4 deactivated speakers in A pillar. 2020 and earlier SR+ have 6 speakers (4 in A-pillar and 2 in rear deck)
any idea why those speakers are even there if they're not activated from the factory? Are they reserved for a higher trim package or something?
yeah i think they're activated on the Performance Model 3
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
@@BRichSolution interesting. I wonder how Tesla service would react to that mod in the case of a service call...
@ they wouldn't lol.
I have a 2022 M3 Long Range, are those 4 speakers off for only the lower models? Also if anyone knows, why were they even off?
LR are on
Only SR or RWD models have deactivated
Just did the install. The new speakers sound is pretty minimal, most is still coming from the front speaker. Is this the case? Should I be noticing a huge difference? I have to hold my ear to the speaker to try and hear sound
It sounds different with different types of music. Some songs sound a lot more immersive compared to before
@@BRichSolution checked again, seems like it's only the passenger side that seems noticeable. Flawed harness ?
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...
Cheaper for Teslas suppliers to make the parts with one configuration for all trim levels. Then not add wire harness to delineate between trim levels
@@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 :)
Why aren't they activated to begin with? Is Tesla still charging extra to activate all speakers for the premium interior?
Cheaper for vendor to build one configuration for all model 3. Only not active on SR+ and RWDt trim. Long range and performance they are active
So just to be clear, for 2022 SR+ order DIY new version?
Yes
The link for Ali express shows 2022, would this work for a 2023 Model 3 RWD?
Yes 2022 cable works on 2023 Rwd
Does this work with 2020 Model 3 RWD ? UK, Right hand drive. Thank you
Yes, you have to buy right hand drive harness and and the one for 2020 as the computer chip is different
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.
Yes connectors are the same from 2022 to 2023. I ordered a 2022 harness as the 2023 was not available when I ordered and it fit on my 2023 model 3.
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.
What month was your 2023 rwd built? My car is 2023 rwd and it works
@@BRichSolution May/June 2023
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.
I've got a 2018 M3 with the premium audio upgrade already. Is this still needed?
You don’t need it. Only SR or rwd with standard audio
Hi.. would it be the same harness for the 2024 Model y rwd long range??
If the 2024 LR model Y has deactived speakers in pillar then yes
@@BRichSolutionyeah the four speakers on top doesn't work.. that make me angry. Thank you..

Did install this, but the treble is very sharp and oversteered. Listening to heavy metal has become painful with this. What can I do?
Adjust treble down?
LOL 😂 SAVAGE @@BRichSolution
So on a right hand drive would the connectors be on the left passenger side?
Yes
@@BRichSolution Thanks
do all Tesla 2023 model 3 RWD have the inactive speakers. I heard rumors that they have been removed
Yes as far as i know
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?
No all rwd do not have these speakers activated. Does not void warranty
Do the 2021-2022 RWD / SR+ have the speakers in the A pillar?
Yes
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!
Did the speaker start to hum or whine noise?
@@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.
I've seen a video of this kit, where you also have to plug something in on the drivers side.. Is this no longer the case?
Its no longer needed
@@BRichSolution What about in a 2021 Model 3?
Why is not connected to begin with ?
Delineate between trim levels
So the model 3 standard range do come with extra speaker but not activate?
Yes
