Audio system unavailable message after installing front light bar

[MUTED]

Has anyone had this message pop up?
I saw others on Reddit stating the message came up after installing an aftermarket camera/rearview mirror.
I installed the tesstudio front light bar this weekend, and since then the message has popped up, however the sound system works fine.
I’m assuming it has to do with where the light bar is drawing power from.
Thank you.

Did the install involve tee cable that you added to an inline connector? If so, that's likely the problem.

Might want to jump into service mode and mess around in those left column maybe you can recalibrate the horn or the audio sources and error will reset

 

[REM]

you probably have a module that needs to reset or recalibrate; that's why the message says "if audio system does not recover". That means it will eventually try to reset on its own.

I had the same light bar and the same error for almost a year. It never reset. No sign of issues with the audio system.

I had to remove it recently because the last update wouldn’t work for FSD. Somehow the splice would interfere with the seat sensor and FSD wouldn’t engage. After removal everything was normal again.

Wow that sucks.
The audio system does Work fine despite the error.

Hmm. I have no idea how to do that.

I’m not sure how to reset the module. I did do a hard reset of the truck. Error didn’t pop up initially then after 5 miles it came up.

We don't have the ability to reset all modules, so you may just need to give it some time.

Otherwise, I'd be concerned that your new light bar is causing some sort of intereference with the OEM components. At this point you should reach out to the manufacturer of the device.


IMO, I have a very short list of companies I would feel comfortable tapping directly into the wiring harness of this truck.

I agree. I was nervous about doing any electric aftermarket devices but the light out out of truck isn’t that great and didn’t expect tapping for 12v to be an issue.

Might have to tap directly to 12v battery and see if that disappears.

wait, 12 volt? which exact lightbar did you get and where did you install it? need more details.

never mind your right. It’s 48v.

Tap it straight to the 48v Frunk outlet

FYI it works again after a recent update, it no longer interferes with FSD / seat sensor so you can reinstall and it should work again for you. (it works for me and a few others that have posted here)

That's not correct. If you bought the front light bar, meaning the LED strip that goes in between the headlights and replaces the black strip that is normally there, then that LED strip is powered by 12v that is tapped in at the passenger side footwell connection, and if you got an older version of the wiring harness that comes with the light bar then it is known to interfere with the speaker working and can throw the error you are seeing.

If you bought a light bar that goes on the roof of your vehicle similar to the factory light bar on the Beast version of the CT then it could be 48v, but that doesn't interfere with your stereo, so again, I'm pretty sure you bought the item mentioned in this article:
Starlink Bumper Light Bar from Teslaunch
