How to Install Hansshow V6 Power Trunk for Model 3 - TESBROS

[@tesbros]

Automatic trunk or no automatic trunk? Which do you prefer?

[@mincooper]

One of the better install videos for the power trunk kit and I've seen most of them. Running strut cables through the blue grommets is the best solution - I cringe when people run it through tail light hole as they deforms the seal there and makes it a potential leak spot. Even worse is when installers drill holes through metal body for these cables when holes are already available. Only thing I did differently there was I hole-punched the blue grommet (instead of cutting an X) to get a perfectly round hole for the cable plus added silicone sealant to make it 100% water-tight. Everyone that has installed one of these knows the wire-fishing process through the rubber conduit is a bit of a pain and even though I had lots of WD-40 on hand I decided to buy a specific cable-pulling lubricant as I was worried WD-40 could have long-term impact on the rubber conduit as well as electrical connector. Again, very very well done!

[@tesbros]

That's a great tip! I'll have to try the hole puncher, too. Glad you found it helpful and we'll try to do more videos like these! Frunk video is on our list!

[@hoboman1206]

that was one of the most difficult installs i’ve ever done. thanks for this video

[@tesbros]

It does take a lot of time and patience for sure. Glad you got it done!

[@KB-yi3by]

Guys - this is a great video. I have the V6 version and it’s hard to find a good video that shows the details from beginning to end. I really appreciate having this video as a resource to assist me get though this somewhat difficult install. Of course, it would take less than a couple of hours to do it a second time once i learned my lessons. I also ran the strut wires through the light holes instead of removing the bumper.

[@tesbros]

Glad it was helpful! And that's smart!

[@trumpetdudekjk]

Can you controller the trunk from the in car screen same as 2021 models? Or do you have to press the break and press screen to close?

[@jcyenting]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Have a 2018 LR and video addressed all areas. Did my installation today and did not encounter anything abnormal. A newb and did it alone, took about 8 hours.

[@tesbros]

That’s amazing to hear for us! Great job!

[@alexp7362]

I did install last night Hannshow V10 on my TM3 LR 2018 power trunk opener and there is no option to open it from the Tesla phone app or from inside main screen it works using OEM button from outside and to close using freshly installed Hannshow button can you use your app or main screen to operate power gate?

[@jcyenting]

@@alexp7362 I am suspecting a faulty bus. Mine can be controlled via phone, touchscreen interface and physical buttons (including the foot sensor).

[@alexp7362]

@@jcyenting the hannshow faulty bus of the main brain box? Ok yesterday I noticed that I can close it with app so now remain to figure out why I can’t open with app

[@gibboireland]

Just to say a big thanks for this vid. Helped me today with my install which I couldn’t have done without this, so many thanks!

[@frankdelao4067]

My new Hansshow struts are labeled left and right. I installed them on the wrong side and trunk would not operate properly. I reversed the struts and they work much better.

[@rijmer]

Guys good vid! 1 tip put in the title Hansshow V6 i think it will get you more hits :) And saw in another vid that you dont need to take off the rear bumper ;)

[@tesbros]

Thanks! Very true but it’s hard to fish it so we just decided to do it.

[@giangio27]

tomorrow, maybe, I can try to install with this video!!!

[@MeshalZKhan]

Thanks so much for this video!! Awesome job!!

[@Hugo-zs7fz]

Amazing video. I did it today myself. However i could not put the bumper back. It is a little bit hard to place. Can you please give me some tip or instructions about how to start placing it? By the middle staples, side? Quite difficult or tricky to place it correctly. The rest if the video is amazing. Thanks a lot for making it!

[@tesbros]

Congrats! We actually made a video on how to remove and put back the bumper for the Model Y so this video will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIjQcp-cr6inpcU But in a nutshell, put the middle in first. There is an arrow you can see to align. Once it clips, put the 10mm bolt with your fingers to hold it up and then the sides should line up very easily. Hope this helps!

[@Hugo-zs7fz]

@@tesbros Yes, thank you guys. It has helped me a lot. Amazing work

[@KevinCasipillai]

Really great video. I just installed it on TM3 LR 2020, everything seemed to work great to begin with, except i couldnt open and close the trunk from the app. But Now i Can’t even open the trunk from either the screen or the app. I Can only open and close using the button.

[@tesbros]

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: - Do a soft reset by holding down the steering wheel scroll buttons for 10 seconds. The screen should go black and then reboot. - Redownload the Tesla app. - Make sure all the wiring connections are secure and properly connected. Sometimes a loose connection can cause intermittent issues. Hopefully one of these will help! Usually issues like that are a glitch that can be solved by rebooting or updating something.

[@matttaylor3551]

use sprayway (or other foaming) glass cleaner to lube the wire pull thru the loom. no residue and wont stay "greasy"

[@tesbros]

good tip!

[@gbb0131]

We know from personal experience about the correct kit to have don’t we? Haha. A few new tricks after doing mine I see.

[@tesbros]

For sure!

[@sliderjm]

If you use glass cleaner instead of WD40 to lubricate when you fish it will completely dry without leaving residue. Plus if you get it on the windows it won't be oily.

[@tesbros]

That's a great suggestion!

[@ariip]

NOTE TO EVERYONE. I HAVE INSTALLED MY STRUT WIRING WITHOUT RUNNING IT DOWN THE TRUNK AND GOING IN THE TAILIGHT (BAD IDEA) OR DOWN TO THE TRUNK THROUGH AN EXISTING GROMMET. I obtained double sided grommets with a tube like the factory grommet that goes up to the trunk lid. My wiring comes out through the vertical wall (I had to drill a hole of course and had the rear deck top out) in the rain channel/gutter through this grommet/tube just behind (towards the back of car) the factory on the right side and alone of course on the left drivers side. Just above/forward to where the strut bottom attaches. The wire only comes down a couple of inches then to the strut. Looks like a factory installation. Not sure why nobody else I have heard of has done this.

[@giangio27]

about kick sensor and frunk? do you have the video? Thanks a lot!

[@tesbros]

We will eventually do one but for the kick sensor, it’s just a plug and play.

[@giangio27]

@@tesbros yes about kick is very simple and the frunk?

[@craigkarner9035]

Will a kick sensor work getting 12V from under the seat and not from the passenger foot well?

[@tesbros]

Yes, it will.

[@Daywalker-hz5ph]

Good job but you have just install the R side strud on the left side :)

[@YamiLionheart]

Just bought this I believe I have the latest version (black box, integrated speaker, round trunk button.) Is the canbus required on the latest version? I was following a different install video that did not connect the canbus cable and my unit doesn't respond (it beeps when receiving power.) Will run the canbus wire tonight but was hoping for some advice on this as well, thanks!

[@tesbros]

Yes you will have to connect canbus. The old one used to connect near the trunk and is different for this model. Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@YamiLionheart]

@@tesbros thank you I feel much better now! Was up late last night trying to finish everything and my heart sank when I saw trunk lights were off and the button didn't light. Can't wait to get home from work and get it going! Thanks again 😀

[@YamiLionheart]

@@tesbros Did what you said and it works! Only thing I noticed is I don't seem to be able to close the trunk from the screen in the car once it's open (I can close it via the app/trunk button.) Is closing from the screen no longer supported?

[@tesbros]

@@YamiLionheart dude that’s awesome! It’s supposed to work. Once you sit in the seat, the button should show up. That’s how it tricks the car.

[@YamiLionheart]

@@tesbros Figured it out! Gotta be in the seat AND press the brake, when you're holding the brake the button appears.

[@Francoladyy]

Is it durable and safe in case of short circuit etc.

[@tesbros]

yes!

[@alexp7362]

Last night i installed Hannshow V10 power trunk opener on my Tesla model 3 2018 LR and I can’t open or close neither from my app or from inside main screen just clicking OEM button of out side then clicking new installed button on the gate cover is anybody knows what’s the deal?

[@Laleyendadk]

Does This one shows the trunk is open on the main screen mine just “flicker” show quickly open and then closed even though the trunk is open?

[@tesbros]

It shouldn't do that. Is it working properly besides that?

[@johannesholmgren4041]

I'm having an issue with my V6 power trunk. Sometimes it only opens 1-2 cm and closes again while the control box starts to beep. It seems like it thinks that the trunk hits an obsticle or the trunk is too heavy. Is there a way to increase the opening strength? What else could it be? I have already changed the struts two times. Thanks in advance!

[@tesbros]

Yes, if you hold the trunk button for 10 seconds, it'll beep. The more beeps, the stronger the strength. Try that and find the best setting for you. Let me know if you have any additional questions!

[@johannesholmgren4041]

@@tesbros isn't that just the speed setting? It is on max speed already.

[@mntran]

can i use this trunk kit version on my 2018 model 3? and also is the install for this version 6 the same or similar to the version 7 that hansshow is currently selling?

[@tesbros]

Yes! It is similar to the V7. Email us at [e-mail] and we'll send you the v7 manual

[@mntran]

Does the 12volt connection go to the battery under the seat for the version 7 ?

[@tesbros]

If you reach out to us at [e-mail], we can send you the PDF for this.

[@ChristianBlond]

I've installed mine like you did, where i took the power from underneath the rear seat. Everything seams to work, but I get an error on the screen saying there is being drawn to much power from 12 v battery. I've tried to reset the car (two buttons and brake) I've tried charging the car. No luck. Do you have any ideas to what the problem and solution could be?

[@tesbros]

There could be a short circuit or wiring issue causing an abnormal power draw OR the 12V battery might be weak or degraded, unable to handle the additional load. Troubleshooting: - Ensure all connections are secure and correctly installed. Verify that there are no exposed wires or potential short circuits. - Inspect the 12V Battery: Check the health of the 12V battery using a multimeter. A fully charged 12V battery should read around 12.6 to 12.8 volts. If the battery voltage is low, it might need replacement. - Reduce Load: Disconnect any other accessories or devices connected to the 12V system to see if the error persists. This can help identify if the power trunk alone is causing the issue. - Check for Tesla Software Updates: Sometimes, errors can be caused by software glitches that might be resolved in a newer update.

[@ChristianBlond]

@@tesbros it does say that the battery needs replacement. But that just came up right after installment. It also seems like it doesn't go into hibernation because the app connects very fast when I check, where normally the car has to wake up first 🤷‍♂️

[@ChristianBlond]

@@tesbros thank for the help 😃

[@ppppp2049]

How do you close the power trunk from smartphone?

[@tesbros]

It tricks the car so when you press open again on your app, it’ll close.

[@MeshalZKhan]

Hi I have this installed for 3 months and all of the sudden it doesn’t close on first try anymore. It takes 3 tries automatically going up and down and finally locks down on 2nd or 3rd try. Anyone know how to fix this issue???

[@tesbros]

That’s an alignment issue. Usually due to the rubber guard. Make sure it’s all the way down. Either that it’s the stopper by the sides.

[@MeshalZKhan]

@@tesbros yes I removed the stoppers and put the rubber guard down all the way. It’s very finicky very rarely it will close on one try most of the time it needs 2-3 tries up and down before it closes

[@tesbros]

@@MeshalZKhan other thing is to change speed setting to fastest. Also, rubber guard looks like it’s all the way in but use a plastic prying tool and make sure you get under and tuck it in. It will go down much further than you think.
