    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    Yes, but I want to clarify that this FIIO mp3 player will transmit audio via Bluetooth using aptX-HD, which basically gets you CD-quality audio. If there's a bottleneck, it might be that Tesla itself may still not support aptX-HD, but if / when Musk decides to tweak that, you could play your...

    USB Audio Getting Worse [2020 Model S]

    I've been dealing with this for 2.5 years and charted my experiences in this thread. I totally agree with you. USB audio should be great but it isn't, and I'm tired of letting the thing load for 20 minutes every time I open the door. If you read my updated post on that thread from a couple of...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    A couple of reasons. One, which also answers ianc's comment, the Bluetooth audio quality is much higher out of the FIIO than the phone. It sounds great, honestly. The second is that, for whatever reason, my phone has a lot of trouble dealing with that many files. Or maybe not the phone, but the...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    I wanted to update everyone on my experiences since I began this post. After trying every possible type of drive and format option, I had Tesla come and replace my USB module because they couldn't figure it out either over the phone. The new module was a different (and newer, obviously)...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    See, what's fascinating about that statement is that originally, when I first got the car, I had all my files in one folder and it was taking ages to load. I probably only had like 2000 songs at that point, and it would take forever. After a lot of digging, I realized the problem was that having...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    I haven't had a chance to try EX-FAT... this is my next (and last) resort. There's no USB hub, I've tried several cables, and not the cheap-o Amazon generic kind but legit 10G cables for Thunderbolt 3 drives, even. The re-indexing has been happening from the beginning, when I had like 4,000...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    I'm on a mac, so I use extFS for Mac as my formatting / mounting software. It's a little bit of a pain (and limits the drive to only opening on that one machine) so when it seemed to add no benefit, I stopped using it- but I have tried going back to it a few times over the 2 years with no...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    Thanks for that reply. I now can't remember about exFAT, but I must have tried that at some point- perhaps it was unsupported at the time, and now I should give it another shot..? I will try that. I haven't tried turning on the AC, actually. I did try fooling it by leaving it in Camping Mode...

    Trying to play mp3's without the 400 bugs and hurdles Tesla throws at you...

    So I've had my M3 for 2 years now, and I love the car in pretty much every single way but one... playing music. I don't like Spotify or streaming; I have a good 40,000 (and growing) collection of great music I listen to. Over the years, I have experimented with / tried everything to get Tesla's...

    Firmware Version 9

    I am still waiting as of today, oh yes.... anyone else?

    Don't want heater on, want vent

    This is my question, too- I just got the car. So far I find the auto setting annoying and wasteful, and just keep it on manual. I'm confused if you manually turn off the AC, does the car decide to heat itself when you leave it parked overnight? Or can you trust that leaving it off actually means...

    Key Fob To The Rescue?

    I can add a +1 to people for whom the phone option doesn't work. Like, ever. Only after I turn bluetooth off / on, or sometimes airplane mode, will the phone realize the car is 1 foot away and connect. I'm no tech dummy- it's not user error, it's a poorly-designed (or poorly tested) app. Yes...
