FrunkShow

Your car, on a timeline

Two browser tools for Tesla owners: a light show designer, and a maker for the chime your car plays when you lock it.

Light Show Lock Sound

Lock Sound is live; the light show is not Model Y 2020–2024 first

Two tools

Light Show — ships second

Lights and closures on a timeline against a track you own, exported as the LightShow/ folder the car reads.

Lock Sound — ships first

A sound you own, trimmed on a waveform into LockChime.wav under 1 MB.

Three steps, all of them on a phone

  1. Pick a sound you own

    A purchased download, a voice memo, a recording of your own. Not Apple Music or Spotify.

  2. Design or trim it

    Everything happens in the browser tab.

  3. Copy it to a USB drive, plug that into the car

    An iPhone, an Android phone with an adapter, or a computer — the USB guide covers each. Then Toybox > Light Show or Toybox > Boombox > Lock Sound.

I own a Model Y. FrunkShow runs in a phone browser; a native iOS app follows, and a free account carries a show between the two.
