Tesla Model 3 Stereo - Part 9: Summary and Lessons Learned

Previously, Part 8: Finishing Touches Update 2019-06-05: Something to keep in mind, this article is written for my 2018 Model 3 Long Range with the Premium sound system. If you have a Model 3 Standard Range with a Standard or Partial Premium stereo, some of this information will to be relevant to you and some of it will not. The power systems and speaker locations/geometry will be the same, but you won't have the rear amplifier or subwoofer and some of your speakers will be disconnected. Other people are putting together how-to instructions for the SR/SR+ and the best compilation I've seen is here, on Tesla Owners Online . Additionally, Tesla is continuously updating the Model 3's hardware. At least one wiring connector has changed since I took delivery of my car (the VC_Left 12V turn-on pin is now populated). I expect more changes will take place in the future. Update 2020-06-01: As of Software Update 2020.16.2.1, the VC_Left pin that I used as a

Tesla Model 3 Stereo - Part 5: Electronics

Previously, Part 4: Hiatus Update 2019-05-31: A summary of this entire project is available in Part 9 . This page covers the initial investigation and Page 9 has the final results, so if anything on this page disagrees with anything on Page 9 then Page 9 is the one you should follow because I don't plan to come back and correct my mistakes in Parts 1-8. This page in particular has a lot of errors. I misdiagnosed the error messages I was getting and as a result I designed a not-wrong-but-incomplete solution. If you're installing aftermarket equipment in your car, you should check out Part 9. ---------------- Last time I said that I was pausing the stereo build process because I was considering returning the car due to computer bugs that made it very inconvenient to use. Those have been fixed. It took three months, but my car is finally working as expected so I'm happily keeping it. And so the stereo build continues. I'm trying to figure

I Give Up: A Teardown of the Beoplay E8 Wireless Earbuds

The second-greatest effort I've ever had to put into making a pair of headphones work was, one time I bought a pair of open air AKGs and they needed a more powerful amp so I bought a more powerful amp. I really wanted the B&O Beoplay E8s to work. I put more effort into trying to get these to work than any other pair of headphones, just about any other product, that I've ever owned. I kept using them for weeks even though they were buggy and unreliable and sometimes headache-inducing, but eventually I replaced them under warranty. I tried to like the second pair, but I replaced those under warranty after they developed the same problems, plus a few new ones. I even tried to like the third pair, but they developed an entirely new list of bugs and it was just too much to put up with. The B&O E8's are far too problematic and unreliable to be useful. They never should have made it to market in their current form. For the record, I bought a pair of B&O Be
