Media And Audio - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Overview
Touch the Media Player application to listen to
the radio, stream music or podcasts, or play
audio files from your phone or an attached
USB device. You can also play Internet radio
(such as TuneIn), Spotify, and audio files from
a Bluetooth-connected device or a USB-
connected flash drive.
Available source content displays across the
top of Media Player: Radio, Spotify, TuneIn,
and Phone. An additional source, USB,
displays when you insert a flash drive into a
USB connection (see
page 106). You can browse the content
available on Media Player by touching a
source, or you can use Search to find specific
content (see Searching within Media Player
page 103).
The Now Playing view, which displays at the
bottom of Media Player, enables you to control
what's currently playing (for example,
pausing/playing, skipping to the next track/
station, etc.). You can also use the Now
Playing view to mark what's playing as a
favorite (see Favorites and Recent
105), and access recently played and favorite
stations, music, and podcasts.
The Now Playing view displays regardless of
the source (Radio, Spotify, TuneIn, Phone, and
USB) you select in Media Player. You can
maximize and minimize the Now Playing view
simply by touching it.
Volume Control
To adjust Media Player's volume, roll the scroll
wheel on the left side of the steering wheel up
or down. To mute the volume, tap the scroll
wheel.
The scroll wheel adjusts the volume for media,
navigation instructions, or phone calls, based
on what is currently being heard through the
speakers. If you're listening to a song, audio
file, or podcast, and you receive a phone call
or Model S relays a step in Trip Planner's turn-
by-turn directions through the speakers, the
song, audio file, or podcast is muted
temporarily.
Note: Muting the volume during a phone call
also mutes the microphone.

To search, touch anywhere in Media Player's
search bar and enter the name of the song,
album, artist, podcast, playlist, or station you
