1. Introduction
The VJOYCAR Auto Power Frunk 3.0 is an advanced electric automatic front trunk lift system designed to enhance the convenience and functionality of your Tesla vehicle. This system allows for automatic opening and closing of the front trunk (frunk) through various control methods, providing a seamless user experience.
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Auto Power Frunk 3.0. Please read it thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper function and safety.
2. Compatibility & Important Notes
The VJOYCAR Auto Power Frunk 3.0 is compatible with the following Tesla models:
- Tesla Model Y
- Tesla Model 3
- Tesla Model X
- Tesla Model S
- Tesla Model 3 Highland
- Tesla Model Y Juniper / YL
Important: Due to variations in Tesla models and manufacturing years, it is crucial to verify your specific car model and year before purchasing and installation. Some Model Y (Standard Range) vehicles manufactured in American Austin and German Berlin factories after August 2023 may have different configurations. The Model 3 / X / S Highland / Y Juniper versions also have distinct requirements.
Special Note on New Y Juniper:
Our Auto Power Front Trunk can be installed on all New Y Juniper models, including those without an OEM front trunk button. While Tesla has removed the physical front trunk button in some models, our system is designed to integrate and function correctly. If you wish to add an aftermarket frunk button, it is advisable to wait approximately one year after installation, as it may require drilling into the front trunk. The Auto Power Frunk will operate perfectly without an additional physical button.
