NEW Tesla S3XY Knob Review - 130 Programmable Features & Instrument Cluster

[@ShivaSapkota]

Here is a massive software update they released after I posted my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ganHoGh3l8yhntE

[@alfonsoalsina3604]

Hi Shiva, I just received the SEXY Knob haven’t installed yet, but I noticed that the knob feels kind of loose.. it’s that normal?

[@idk-vp5iw]

Your amazing

[@uwograd4045]

This is a terrible product due to a terrible customer service from enhance auto. You will regret it

[@jonathannolan1151]

Finally a product that incorporates most of tv's functions that Tesla owners want in one package. Would be great to be able to open passenger doors and to adjust front passenger seat. Great review!

[@ML-hf6ii]

You can open doors

[@apac4641]

You can now adjust the seats from a push of a button

[@deandawiz]

@@apac4641love you

[@frankadelson3082]

This is the best Mod that I've seen in a long time for the Tesla, I just ordered mine.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you! I agree, this is awesome.

[@johannesmeyer-dunker6044]

That is really great. I can stop the regenerative break and start the sailing mode. I can also take a look at the battery. Ordered one Knop. For the second one I have to buy a Tesla for my wife.

[@ShivaSapkota]

CORRECTION: The S3XY Knob is only currently compatible with Tesla Model 3/Y built after 2021. The functions list shown on the screen at 22:36 are for S3XY buttons not the knob. The knob is not compatible with Model X/S.

[@2023modely]

Including Highland?

[@ShivaSapkota]

@@2023modely They have a pre-order page for highland. They anticipate the product to become available late this Spring. Thanks

[@montu25]

Would it work with 2021 Model Y Performance?

[@ksampler6183]

Are there any features that work for pre 21? I’ve got a 19 and the knob looks pretty cool.

[@boscogong4242]

Does anyone know when the knob would get more functions? It really is limited. Most of the functions they offer now are not that hard to access. I would like to see recirculation available.

[@sabinfilimon1052]

Nice video. Thanks. Question: Where did you get the phone mount that you have on the video? Thanks

[@peye8712]

Thanks for the awesome review! QUESTION: Do you think this would still be used if you have installed one of those USB Charging hubs that occupies the same area is this item by having this sit in front of the USB hub?

[@theot6009]

Hi, I tried this and it is possible. In my case I had to keep it close to the usb hubs (on the side of the arm rest) and install the knob forward of it. Downside: entrance to storage is now limited. And you may have to split the remaining usb c port. But it all works!

[@blib7075]

I've had the knob for about a week now. Works great most of the time. The things that don't, enhance says they will be updating in the next few months. However it's impossible to find the buttons in the dark without looking down. They are too smooth, and blend in with the rest of the dash. They need to make the buttons more tactile, or put a light on each button. Even looking at the device at night, it's hard to locate the buttons. Not great while driving.

[@ShivaSapkota]

That is a great point. They should probably add some lights to the buttons. Thanks.

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Thank you for the great feedback!

[@Infiniteavatar]

Maybe glow in the dark stickers?

[@RAJames1978]

THIS is the product I've been waiting for! Out of all the purchased accessories for my M3P this is the one what will stay because it is needed! Thank you VERY MUCH for providing a review of of this product and continue the good work!

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for your continued support to the channel. I greatly appreciate it.

[@gtibbot]

Love to see some built in USB ports on the top of the bezel

[@sjbraveheart]

Can’t agree more. Gibbot

[@pjprachyabrued]

Just ordered using your code based on your review. Thanks for the review.

[@TheEdmaster87]

How is it possible to change many other features while in the main screen you cant? I am talking about regen and manual preheat of battery pack?

[@doop6995]

good review and the install is what other reviwers lack, its why your vids are king!

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏

[@RSchyns]

@ShivaSapkota Does the dashboard have blind spot notification? If not, please request that it be added.

[@linux230]

Man I don't even own a Tesla and you did a superb Superb job with this. 😊

[@megajoe811]

This was the most helpful video describing all the settings and thank you for testing the regen braking setting, as thats the main reason I want to buy this!!subscribed to ur channel :)

[@ShivaSapkota]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.

[@boscogong4242]

Just got mine 2 days ago. Your video is an exceelent tutorial, quick start guide.

[@yodagerhard8389]

A HUD with the Commander gen 2 would be very great!

[@Yingchanlan]

Looks very nice! Do you have info regarding the water resistant rating, or is it waterproof? Since it’s so close to cup holders.😅

[@ML-hf6ii]

It does not have any rating so it fail if you spill too much coffy

[@HLF31528376]

5:29 if you use the back connector you won’t have full control. Only by using the front connector you have all the use and also future supported actions…

[@davidhennessy4675]

I appreciated the video review, Shiva. I installed mine today and it is worth noting that a lot of what the S3XY buttons can do cannot be done with the knob. That's kind of a shame, as they marketed it to suggest otherwise. Useful feature to add: The ability to turn the a/c fan on/off. I'm hoping they continue to add more of the S3XY button features to the knob, as you'd figure the commander unit would make that very possible.

[@hughj776]

Wow, thanks for taking the time to do that review. I had no idea these were available. Definitely on my list of accessories to buy soon.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you for watching!

[@kenlouey6906]

I have a 2024 Highland model 3, can the bluetooth command device be connect at the rear? Can the device be use as left/right indicators by pressing the top left and right button instead of using the steering wheel?

[@Rick9482]

Just arrived yesterday after 1 1/2 month wait. I was not happy! Installed today in minutes and started feeling a lot better. Nice packaging and super easy install made me very upbeat. My car had the blue plug in back.....nice. Expensive but nobody was twisting my arm to buy it!

[@markpirola8152]

Been using mine in Sydney for several weeks. Best must have. I keep fan speed and wiper speed in same upper position on all three screens as these are most used. I would love the ability to drop front windows when unlocking driver door.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you my friend. I am glad to hear that you had the same positive experience as me using this device.

[@davidhargrave8611]

Awesome review! Do you have to power down the vehicle to install the commander?

[@Infiniteavatar]

YES!

[@baldisaerodynamic9692]

i love it, but does it have option to pop open the other doors? thats what I need the most the ability to pop open doors from the buttons.

[@CARimer]

Shiva, I agree with you - best accessory for Tesla, hands-down, now that I have it installed & am using it. For prospective buyers, know that I'll also vote Shiva's review as the best, most-thorough review I've ever seen of any product - super-clear from beginning (with installation) through review of the Knob as well as the Commander (he clearly explains that difference) - you get both with the Knob package. Well-done - worth watching every minute (trust me, don't cut any of this short). Thanks for the best-in-class review!

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it.

[@CapitanHarlockisback]

Best Tesla accessory, hands down. I’ve ordered one knob and two buttons for the highland, hope they’ll arrive soon.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for your feedback, I agree, this is the best!

[@theelect777]

Shiva well done on this post man. I found this through enhance auto's website, so way to make it on the S3XY Knob's product page. I love how you showed both installs quickly, and explained how it works. The stock button layout seemed pretty decent, but I know I'd rack my brain changing those often until I figured out what made the most sense for me (like people trying out widgets on your phone Home Screen). With so many different function/control options, what would be great is a tips and tricks video with suggested button layouts (like how others have best customized and organized their S3XY Knob button functions and why). Also, I'd like to know if certain functions like opening the doors/frunk, or shifting into reverse, etc won't work while moving or at certain speeds? Last thing I want is to accidentally spin to the wrong page and open the frunk on the free-way, or rear door with my kids falling out. Like how much safety override does Tesla still have over this 3rd party accessory?

[@cphu72]

I think this is the most useful gadget for my Model Y

[@UTECHPIA]

This is a Fantastic demonstration of an AWESOME product! 👍👍👍

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to me.

[@johnanderson9735]

I helped a friend install a button system and the rear cover plate did not go back on completely. It would be nice to show a detailed result of getting that rear cable harness cover back on cleanly.

[@lagqboy]

Awesome job on this review! 👏 adding this product to my wish list

[@ShivaSapkota]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@beachcrow]

How about a three icon per screen option? Many people would be fine with 9 functions total and with three larger icons per screen (pie chart style) it would be easier to select while driving and easier for people with poor eyesight to see.

[@idk-vp5iw]

THANKS SO MUCH

[@chandler4701]

Any idea if they'll make skins for the Knob?

[@10secondsrule]

This would be my instant first order after placing an order on tesla.

[@mckenleymason1212]

[@laughremixsquad]

Does the door to the center console close after installation?

[@joonyoon7900]

want it so bad! but the DADTC promo doesn't go through for korea!! is there a promo goin on for south Korea???

[@msbgone]

Great Vid! I dont even have a T and like your vids... This is pretty neat....

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for the support! It means a lot to me.

[@somedudeonyoutoob]

Does this have active blind spot monitoring like the teslogic?

[@bestofUS_90]

Which cars have the rear blue plug? Would 2024 MYP have rear plug?

[@BigMeanyVids]

One unavoidable issue is I have a console wrap I really like. I dunno if I can manage to cut a piece of vinyle to match the knob and have it blend in with my wrap that is already there. Maybe...

[@HLF31528376]

2:26 i have a 2021 model 3 performance and I could use the front install as it already had the connectors…🤔

[@tor3385]

Will the S3XY knob work with tm3P 2020 in the future?

[@NoTimeForThatNow]

FYI the discount code is good for $10 off the $319 price of this item. If this allowed changing the passenger seat position(height, forward/back, recline) I would buy it. The auxiliary dash is also an interesting feature!

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.

[@raulcastrodubon573]

Great video my friend Congratulations

[@hansheintz6392]

Nice to the point review/explanation. I see that press p let’s you select gear but i dont see neutral. Would be intesting in case of car wash stress 😅

[@r.schmalzried7315]

@shivasapkota , can you do an update for the HW3 cars that used the rear plugs that lost a lot of functionality with the USB ports power update by Tesla. How do those get moved to the front?

[@robb4357]

Love your videos you do such a great job. This mod looks amazing can’t wait to get one

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much!

[@JobGreg]

Awesome video. I see that you have a magnetic phone holder behind your steering wheel. What is that and also how do you power it. Thanks

[@ipb1966]

Looks a great product but why not just have five pressure points on the knob - that way you don’t need the buttons?

[@beelust4312]

I hope 🙏 I can order this from ur video

[@casanovalouigi]

Question regarding the app and battery degradation. I see an asteric alongside it in the app? What does that mean and how accurate is that report? If you know. Thanks

[@rscranman2002]

It's unfortunate that the knob won't allow the car to move into neutral. THis would be awesome as the stock is easy to move into D and P an R but neutral can be a bit more finnicky especially if in a hurry like at a car wash. Can you program it to get it to neutral (N)?

[@billh3860]

Very nice but as a passenger, I would like easy access to the Voice Control button as I use that a lot.

[@davidwho8215]

What is the regen percentage by default? What does Tesla have it set to without the S3XY knob on a model Y?

[@kyleb8117]

Great video and solid guide. I'll be seriously considering this one whenever I finally manage to get my hands on a used Tesla. I'm thinking I can probably manage a 2021+ M3LR with the current prices...just a matter of saving up that down payment. I have a feeling the wiper control and preconditioning the batteries alone is well worth getting it. I've also been thinking I want an instrument cluster in front of the wheel so this could double for that (though Tsportline has a really cool one with Android Auto and such).

[@brianmoss9399]

Been waiting on this product for a while - solely for the drive mode wheel option. My other vehicle is a 2015 Chrysler 300 and the gear shift is controlled by a knob in the center console. I love it and when I got the MY, it felt funny going back up to the stock arm like in my old model Expedition. Having the gear shift back to a knob sold me on this unit and will be purchasing asap. Thanks for a great review!!

[@4twentyevents]

Why did u skip one of the icons on the first set of buttons? Top right.

[@jonathan5354]

The only accessory that reallmakes it more easy to use a Tesla. Updates and new features ate comming approximately every 4 weeks. Now i don't need the buttons anymore

[@davidwho8215]

It’s a nice product. I just installed mine tonight. I’ve not driven it yet to test the autopilot upgrade on lane change, but I hope it works well. Mine did have to be rebooted twice already on the first day, as when going to the 3rd menu, it would loose connection. I tried to do the firmware update, and it shows percentage complete,up to when it just starts clocking around 98%, and then never finishes. Network is super strong in my garage, by the way. So far, I’m a little concerned, as day one, and it’s having a number of glitches. I got weird errors in a few places when connecting to my car to allow access. I’ll try the firmware update again tomorrow, but I was just getting discouraged for now.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thanks for the feedback on this. That is very interesting because mine is working perfectly fine since I installed more than a month ago. I would check the commander piece to make sure the plug is snugged. It reboots if it looses the Bluetooth signal. Please keep me posted and let me know if I need to reach out to Enhance. Thanks.

[@davidwho8215]

@@ShivaSapkota - I hear this all the time, across all sorts of reviewers, where someone says: I’ve never had an issue, like their set of one is any real indication of success, lol. Anyway, today I was able to get the firmware upgraded, and it has worked fine since that. I watched one of enhauto’s own videos where in it they even say it may occasionally be necessary to unplug then reinstall the device.

[@worldtrav72]

Quick question- Does the knob retain settings between drives or does the car reset to factory defaults when powered down?

[@boscogong4242]

Regarding features, CarWash Mode or Shutdown would be nice. Enhance should build a HUD that works off the Commander. There WiiYii based models out there like the T3 which uses the same ODB connection, it would be nice to have a Bluetooth connected unit that gets data off of the Commander to minimize wires.

[@gillesh.9405]

Can you use the Commander 2.0 coming with the new sexy buttons with the knob? Or is it a different commander?

[@Vidushaka68]

[@ShivaSapkota]

[@mondotv4216]

Great review as always Shiv. Just an option I saw there - is this going to work with Scan my tesla without a second OBD Bluetooth dongle? It seems like it will pass info along to third party apps.

[@Sergei6960]

Buddy I dont know the reason, but just connected the new knob to my model 3, but Iam not alle to chance the preinstaled funktion on knob. Do you know the reason why?

[@shdmd2118]

Is this able to adjust the direction of air?

[@DblSol]

Thanks for the review clarifcation. Some of my questions were answered. Since the Knob comes with 4 physical buttons, and there's an app for customization, I thought the Knob could do all the same features the S3XY Buttons could do. Also other products that add physical buttons that plug into the same port as the Knob and Buttons have more useful features. Like moving the front passenger chair forward and back and unlatching the doors for those who find the door handles tricky. Like the Tlyard physical buttons you reviewed or the Teslasy Physical Buttons I saw somewhere else. Fortunately I can reach every door except the rear driver door to open for others. And the moving seats feature would be nice, but I might have needed it before when driving a Model 3. Just got a Model Y so not sure yet. The preconditioning feature I definitely see myself using regularly. And the regen change since I no longer have the Roll option I was used to when driving the Model 3. Other than that, it would be cosmetic device but a cool cosmetic. I like the look of it but for the price and features I like not being there, I might wait a while and consider the other devices first. Is it faster to get the Knob from TSportline or from Enhauto? Enhauto says its still on preorder.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you! Enhance just commented on this video and said they are bringing all of those features you requested in their next month's update. I believe the timing is the same for both Tsportline and Enhauto and it will likely take several weeks to get this product as it is heavily backordered due to enormous interest.

[@DblSol]

@@ShivaSapkota Thats great. Thanks again for the review and passing along communication with the company. Looks like I have to reconsider ordering sooner!

[@kenjohns8245]

@@ShivaSapkota I recently installed the 12-function 4-button set, and like the ability it provides to release the 2 passenger-side doors as well as to move the passenger seat. If these features get added to this control knob I will be tempted to upgrade to it.

Great looking product but ive 3 questions: is it possible to put a particular function on all 3 'pages' (I'd like to have windscreen wipers immediately available no matter which page I was on), can you pair 2 phones for two drivers & also do you export, because I live in Ireland? Mark

Awesome product and review!! The product ever proposed, it fit almost perfectly my needs! And I learned some new stuff about my Tesla Y when listening to your review and reading some comments here. I will definitively buy one in few minutes!! Maybe it would be nice to propose a similar device but more accessible while we drive? Maybe one we can fix on the border of the screen or to the steering wheel? Thank you!

Really wish the options would reflect on the screen

[@ShivaSapkota]

They said they figure it out and will be patched using a software update in March. Thanks.

[@SSM04DC5]

I DM'd Enhance on X and asked about future updates for more features and they told me that steering wheel heater will be an option in a March update. They're also going to add headlights as an option in the future as well, which is the one feature I want/need with this. So far though, I love this knob. My only gripes so far are: If you change the temp/fan/seat heaters/etc on the screen, it'll show on the knob. But, if you change those on the knob, it doesn't change on the screen.

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Changes will be reflected on the Main screen in April :)

[@rhuynh]

On the ODB commander location, is that an 'OR' situation or INSTEAD. Meaning do you either have one or the other or you have your choice betwen both locations. Like if I have the blue connection in back then I dont have the connection in the passenger front?

[@JHCCAZ]

Shiva, thanks a million for this review and for the small discussion we had on the preview announcement page. Your review is the best one I've seen, really more informative than the short demo videos put out by the S3XY guys. Also I want to say that I have a 2021 Intel model Y, and I did the installation in the passenger footwell area instead of the rear console area. The needed blue connector is there but it's buried back several inches next to the side kick panel. It's open and ready to be connected, then you have to insert the smaller connectors in between the white power connectors that are right there on the metal column.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you so much for the tip. If someone runs into that same issue, this will be very helpful. Also, I talked to Enhance and they said they actually figured it out how to display the temperature control on the main Tesla screen. They hope to push that update in March.

[@dbmgreen]

Hey @ShivaSapkota do you run the S3XY buttons and the Hansshow Screen at the same time? Did you piggyback the OBD?

[@ShivaSapkota]

Yes, you can daisy chain everything together. Thanks.

It is most probably impossible to get passenger seat control by OTA update, cause in all the products you have to connect wires to seat control buttons. But could be possible replacing wires and adding software support.
