Setup, Compatibility & Care
This module is compatible exclusively with Model S vehicles using the generation 3 door handle system. Before beginning installation, ensure the vehicle is powered down and the 12V battery is disconnected to prevent short circuits.
- Preparation: Use non-marring pry tools to remove the interior door card.
- Access: Locate the handle assembly and disconnect the existing controller module from the wiring harness.
- Installation: Secure the ISTOVO module in the designated bracket and reconnect all plugs until they click into place.
- Calibration: Once installed, verify that the handle cycles smoothly.
Maintain the system by keeping the handle mechanism clean of road debris and preventing excessive moisture buildup within the door cavity.
