Media and Audio
To remove an item as a favorite,
touch the highlighted Favorites icon
on Miniplayer. You can also remove
multiple favorites by expanding
Miniplayer one level to show all
favorites for the applicable type of
source content. Then press and hold
any favorite. An X appears on all
favorites and you can then touch the
X to remove it from your Favorites
list.
To see selections that you have recently
played, scroll up one level from Miniplayer and
touch Recent. Your recently played selections
are updated continuously so you don't need to
remove them.
Note: Selections you play on FM radio are not
included in your Recent list.
Playing Media from Devices
You can play audio files from a
Bluetooth-connected device (like a
phone) or a USB-connected flash
drive. When you connect a
Bluetooth-capable device, the
name of the device displays when
you choose the Phone source.
When you connect a USB flash
drive, Media Player displays the
driver's source content.
To play the next song in a selected playlist or
album, touch the previous or next arrows on
Miniplayer, or use the buttons on the left side
of the steering wheel (see
Wheel Buttons on page 44). You can also
shuffle tracks in a playlist or repeat a playlist
or track using the shuffle/repeat icons (if
available).
USB Connected Flash Drives
Connect a flash drive to a front USB
connection (see USB Ports
Media Player > USB, and then touch the name
of the folder that contains the song you want
to play. After you display the contents of a
folder on the USB connected flash drive, you
can touch any song in the list to play it. Or use
the previous and next arrows in Miniplayer to
scroll through your songs.
Note: To play media from a USB connection,
Model S recognizes flash drives only. You can

Bluetooth Connected Devices
If you have a Bluetooth-capable device such
as a phone that is paired and connected to
Model S (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
page 143), you can play audio files stored on
it and you can stream music from it. Choose
Media Player's Phone source, then touch the
name of your Bluetooth-connected device,
and then touch CONNECT.
Your Bluetooth device begins playing the
audio file that is currently active on your
device, and Media Player displays the
Miniplayer view. If no audio file is playing on
your device, use your device to choose the
audio file you want to listen to. When the
chosen file begins to play, you can then use
Miniplayer's next and previous icons to play
other tracks.
Note: To play media from a Bluetooth-
connected device, ensure that access to the
device's media is turned on (see
Bluetooth Phone on page 143).

Audio Settings

Press the equalizer icon at the
bottom corner of Media Player to
access audio settings for tone and

turn on or off, such as Dolby
Surround and DJ Commentary.
