Browse All SoundsCustom lock sounds need the car’s external pedestrian-warning speaker (Model 3 built September 2019 or later, Model S and Model X from the 2021 refresh, every Model Y and Cybertruck) and software 2023.44 or later. Every download is already named LockChime.wav: copy it to Boombox/LockChime.wav on a USB drive and open Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound, then choose USB. No renaming needed.
Yes, on 2021 refresh and later. Those cars have the external speaker required. Custom lock sounds arrived in Tesla's 2023 Holiday Update (software 2023.44). If you don't see the option, update from Controls > Software.
Download a sound. It's already named LockChime.wav. Create a "Boombox" folder on a FAT32 USB drive, place LockChime.wav inside it, plug into your Model S USB port, and select it under Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound, then choose USB.
Replace Boombox/LockChime.wav on your USB drive with a new file using the same name and path, then reinsert the drive. If the old sound keeps playing, re-open Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound and re-select USB so the car re-reads the file.
Yes. Plaid works the same as any 2021-refresh Model S, keep software current under Controls > Software.
No. Custom lock sounds play through the external pedestrian-warning speaker, which pre-2021 Model S cars don't have. A software update alone won't add the feature. The 2021 refresh and later are required.
