Media and Audio

Overview
Touch the Media Player icon at the
bottom of the touchscreen to
stream music or podcasts (if
available), and listen toAM (if
equipped), FM or Internet radio
stations. You can also listen to
SeriusXM satellite radio (if
equipped) and play audio files from
a Bluetooth or USB-connected
device.
Note: The media options available
to you depend on market region
and options chosen at time of
purchase.
Media Player provides three different 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
play high definition versions of the
selected frequency.
Note: Use voice commands to search hands-
free (see Using Voice Commands
AM (if equipped) and FM Radio
If available in your market region
and location, Media Player provides
AM and 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
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 the Favorites list (see

SiriusXM Satellite Radio
If Model S is equipped with the
optional sound package, you can
listen to SiriusXM, a subscription-
based satellite radio service. To
receive satellite radio channels, you
must provide the radio service
provider with the radio ID for your
