Overview
Touch the Media Player icon at the
bottom of the touchscreen to play
various types of media through your
vehicle's speaker system. The media
options available to you depend on
market region and options chosen at
time of purchase. For example, you can
stream internet radio or podcasts (if
equipped with premium connectivity),
listen to FM radio. You can also play
audio
files from a Bluetooth or USB-
connected device.
Media Player provides three dierent levels of viewing
that you can access by dragging the Media Player
window upward or downward. Initially, just the
Miniplayer displays. The Miniplayer, which occupies the
least amount of space on the touchscreen, displays
what's currently playing and provides only the basic
functions, mostly associated with what's playing. Drag
upward to display Recents and Favorites and access the
icons you can use to change your media source
(described next). Drag upward again to browse through
all available options for the chosen type of source
content.
Use the icons across the bottom of Media Player to
change your media source (for example, FM, Streaming,
or a Bluetooth-connected device). Use the tabs on the
left to narrow down the type of content you want to
browse through—the associated content displays on the
right. For Radio, you can browse through Favorite
Stations or you can touch
Direct Tune to enter the
frequency of a
specific channel. For Streaming, you can
browse through Favorites, Top Stations, DJ Series, and
Genres.
Volume Control
Roll the scroll button on the left side of the steering
wheel up or down to increase or decrease volume
respectively. The scroll button adjusts the volume for
media, navigation instructions, or phone calls, based on
what is currently being heard through the speakers. You
can also adjust the volume by touching the arrows
associated with the speaker icon on the bottom of the
touchscreen.
To mute the volume, press the left scroll button. Press
again to unmute.
NOTE: Pressing the left scroll button during a phone call
mutes both the sound and your microphone.
NOTE: If you're playing media and you receive a phone
call, or the navigation system is speaking directions, the
volume of what you are listening to is temporarily
muted.
Searching Media Content
Touch Media Player's magnifying glass
icon to search for a particular song,
album, artist, podcast, or station. Select a
filter to narrow the scope of your search,
or leave it at its default setting to include
top results from all available source
content.
If available, touch HD® to play
high definition versions of the selected
frequency.
NOTE: Use voice commands to search hands-free (see
Using Voice Commands on page 140).
FM Radio
If available in your market region and
location, Media Player provides FM radio
stations that you can select from the
Radio source. Touch the next or previous
arrows to move from one frequency to
the next (or previous). Or touch Direct
Tune to enter a specific frequency. If
available, touch HD® to play high
definition versions of the selected
frequency.
For easy access to radio stations you listen to frequently,
mark it as a favorite so it's readily available in your
Favorites list (see Favorites and Recents on page 135).
Internet Radio and Music Streaming
Services (if equipped)
If equipped with premium connectivity, internet radio
and music streaming services are available over a data
connection. To listen, touch the Media Player icon and
choose the streaming service you want to listen to.
You can use your Tesla account or you can sign in with
your own account by scrolling to the bottom of the
streaming service window and entering your account
credentials.
Browse through the available categories and/or stations,
then touch what you want to play. When browsing
through a large category such as genres, you may need
to drag the window upward to enlarge it and view more
available options. When you choose an option that
displays multiple results on a new window, touch
BACK
at the top of the window to return to the main browse
page.
You can also use voice commands to play a specific
song, artist, or album from an Internet radio service (see
Using Voice Commands on page 140).
When listening to internet radio or a music streaming
service, the options available on Miniplayer can vary
depending on what you are listening to:
