Can my Tesla use a custom lock sound?
Check the actual car before buying a sound. Model 3, Model Y, Model S or Model X branding alone does not establish compatibility.
Three checks before you buy
- With the vehicle parked, look for Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound. Check that your car offers a custom USB sound option and read the on-screen instructions.
- Confirm the vehicle has the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) external speaker. Tesla identifies PWS as a requirement for custom external lock audio.
- Check your own vehicle manual for a data-capable USB port and supported storage. A charging-only port will not read your sound.
Features and menu wording vary by hardware, region and installed software. A WAV download cannot add missing hardware or enable an unavailable feature. If the option is absent, check with Tesla before purchasing.
What “Tesla-ready” means here
Our catalogue downloads are already converted to mono, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit linear PCM WAV, under 950 KB and no longer than five seconds. The supplied filename is LockChime.wav. These are our production specifications, not a guarantee for every Tesla.
The MP3 player on a sound page is a listening preview; the purchased file is a WAV. Your browser may append a number to repeated downloads. Remove that suffix before copying your chosen file to the USB root.
Next steps
Follow the installation steps or diagnose a sound that will not play.
