That Purge sound has been my phone ringtone for years 😂. Great video mate, shame we don’t have the feature here.

[@leylahamchou]

AMAZING!! I saw around 4 tutorials and none of them worked, but this one did work!! THANK YOU SO MUCH :) very detailed... LOVE THIS. LOL, I can't wait to use crazy sound hahaha.

[@CashSitting]

Thank you!!! I've been looking for an answer on how to do this for a few weeks and you did a great job explaining the process.

[@coronhardman9718]

Great video as always, stud! A couple minor issues when I was trying to setup my custom sounds before I saw your video: 1) the file names "might" need to be without spaces; 2) I think you can only upload 5 custom songs; 3) my original files were in a M4A format. I had to convert them to MP3 (with an online converter). After resolving these issues, I got my custom files to appear in my Boombox dropdown ... prior to that, they were only available in the Music/USB section.

[@Sibs]

Thanks! Glad you got it worked out! My files were .wav format and those worked too, except for that one I mentioned.

Great video man! been looking around and havent found one that is very detailed on how to do everything, Love it keep up the great work@!

I appreciate it!

[@manfredschaub5691]

I finally got it to work! I was able to do lock chime sounds but not horn. I’ve been trying for the last two weeks and haven’t been able to get it. I followed your video exactly and the only thing that I had to change was the format to ExFAT not MS-DOT (FAT). I have 2023 model 3 so maybe it’s different now? Not sure! Thank you!!

[@sierra1266]

Im wondering if tesla changed something. I also have 2023 m3 and this worked for me a few months ago, but i got a new ssd and it no longer works

[@jmr0991]

This is the exact tutorial I needed -- Worked great! Thanks very much.

[@Sibs]

Awesome, good to hear!

[@MachitoLFC]

THANKS! Did this for my M3LR via macbook.

[@MachitoLFC]

By the way @Alex Sibila, you can't have spaces in the file song names. That may be why one wasn't showing for you!

[@vrgs1385]

Where did you download the thing that shows you your range and battery percentage on your desktop at the top of the screen?

[@mayaleex3]

If Sentry Mode is not showing, make sure you created a folder called "TeslaCam" if you didn't transfer old files over :)

[@JoeRussellProductions]

Where do you download all the sounds from?

[@Professor-Scientist]

anywhere

[@bethfusco3407]

I followed the video and the sound clips show up in Boombox but my the Dashcam is showing i have to format the USB drive.

Hi Beth, did you fix that issue ? I have the same problem

Great tutorial! Thanks so much!

[@tommckinney1489]

Thanks, Alex. It may be trivial, but can you do a video of how you got your sound files and converted them to .wav? thanks

[@Sibs]

Just downloaded from youtube and opened them in davinci resolve, then exported as .wav I believe it accepts .mp3 as well and there are lots of online converter tools that will do that for youtube videos!

Great little tutorial, Alex! Where did you go to download most of your sound clips? Thank you so much, as always, Alex Now, if only Elon comes up with a way to retrofit the "OLD" Model 3's to add a wiring harness and a speaker! The easy part is removing the plastic panel and drilling all of the speaker holes.

I got most of those from youtube and converted them to .wav !

Love this! Question though - do the custom sounds also work while driving? Or is this just all in PARK? Curious if you can have a FART horn on the highway?

[@Sibs]

The custom horn does not work while in drive, but I believe the driving sounds work at any speed

[@jg3nius135]

[@jeffmelgar564]

What year is your Tesla ? I see you have the silver trim so is is 2018-2020 ?

[@Sibs]

Yeah it's a 2020 model. Took delivery in November of 2019.

[@thomasschwarz1973]

FYI, "FAT" is File Allocation Table and "DOS" is Disk Operating System

[@Sibs]

good to know!

[@shinkatsuki7158]

does ExFAT works? or has to be MS-DOS FAT?

[@Sibs]

No problem 👍

[@GudePro]

@alexsibila were you able to figure out why all of your songs did not transfer over?

[@GudePro]

Actually I just figured it out after reading a couple of comments. The file names were too long. I shortened them considerably and they showed up.

[@craigjhart]

What app on the Mac are you using to see stats on your Tesla?

[@Sibs]

It's called "Stats Menu Bar: For Tesla Cars" from the same developer that makes the Tesla Stats App for iPhone. I think they've got one that can control your car via your mac too!

[@human-person]

So what’s the shortest/longest an audio file can be and are there any restrictions on file size?

[@nukem384]

So much fun that we're allowed to use our own sounds! I wonder if the cops would have any part of that though?

[@Sibs]

It does say "check local laws before use" so Tesla isn't liable lol

[@Cmflyer2044]

I where do we find mp3 or wav sounds to download.

[@proximajoe]

note to Tesla - Drive needs to be divided into 4 sounds - Reverse, Accelerate, Idle/Cruise, Decelerate - Someone suggest it to Elon. Imagine if you will: Reverse the Jupiter 2 crash howl, Accelerate - Jupiter 2 liftoff, Idle/Cruise - Jupiter 2 cruise, Decelerate - Jupiter 2 landing. The possibilities are endless.

Thank you so much!!!!! 🙏🏽

[@flwrpwr14]

Do you have a video of where you got the sound from (site)? And how you saved and put it in the drive?

[@Sibs]

Just random ones, but be careful downloading

[@danmitchell1143]

Tried going thru your steps with the included Tesla Y jump drive included in the glove box. The “partition” function is grey and not functional. I’m using a 2014 MacBook Pro to try and reformat and partition the original jump drive. Thoughts?

[@Sibs]

Probably need another drive that isn't from Tesla. The one I used is linked in the description

[@ericmindyc]

great vid. i ran into issues in the formatting partition step to MS-DOS FAT. Error: POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory.:(2) Operation failed...

[@ericmindyc]

figured it out. it was case sensitive. need to name the volumes with ALL CAPS for MS DOS FAT format.

I followed this video and now my sentry mode does not let me view the recordings. Do you know why? For example, it will say “2 events occurred” but if I click it it says Check USB drive

Tesla has been having issues with USB recently, so likely a Tesla issue. Can't say for certain in your specific case though
