Audio

I've had a hard time finding Slacker and Spotify details so I'm going to post some observations I've made in the hopes that it might help someone. If anyone wants to add on to this list, please do so. To start, let me say that since v10, for me at least, voice commands will no longer directly...

Model 3 Sound Project After months of effort, days of writing, and countless hours researching, I'm finally ready to share the Model 3 Sound Project. From the project overview: These posts are my way of documenting my journey, a journey I didn't make alone. I'd like to thank all of the...

Saw this article on Techau today about the premium audio in some of our Model 3 versions. Hadn't really thought about the future ability to watch movies in a car having a great sound system, which the article points out will be coming soon. The article might make some people reconsider what...

Tesla Model 3 Aftermarket Stereo Installation : teslamotors The real breakdown of the electrical system and connections that will let you install anything you want on your own terms. The only real difference vs a normal car is that Tesla puts itself and the 12v battery to sleep. When it comes...

Has anyone else experienced a degradation of audio quality after the 16.2 update along with reduced bass and a nearly ineffective bass equalizer slider? My "premium sound system" is compromised yet again after a software upgrade and it's especially noticeable when playing "classic rock" songs.

Hello TMC. Brand new Tesla owner! Just got my Model 3 SR+. Unfortunately I am completely useless unless I am in front of a computer screen (im a software engineer). I have no hope of installing a subwoofer myself. I'd like to find a company here in San Diego to do the install. Is this an...

Since updating to 2019.12.x I've noted delays in both the rear camera display and interestingly in the audio volume adjustments. I plan on testing this next with the HVAC (specifically with fan speed) next. Today during my ride home, I noticed a delay of 10 seconds or more between setting the...

So, this is odd. When I first get into my S and try to make a phone call using Bluetooth connecting to my Android, the first call I make has no audio. I cannot hear the call being made. I believe the person I call can hear me, but I cannot hear anything... no ringing, no talk. The call timer is...

Hey all! I've been plotting upgrading my speakers since I got my car in December. Upgrading the 4" speakers might not require brackets to use 2 of the 3 holes, but I also want to do the woofers up front as well (probably with the 8" Focals), and mount all the speakers as well as possible, so...

Having just installed the latest software update (2019.12.1.1), I find that the audio system is - once again - messed up. Specifically, this is when navigating by "Folder View" from a USB Stick. The files used to appear alphabetically, but no more! They're now randomly arranged - in fact...

While listening to radio this AM while also navigating, I noticed that when the navigation lady is giving verbal instructions, the radio is not muted. Hence, much of the time, neither source is intelligible. Couple of questions: 1. Is the nav lady's volume independently controlled? (It...

Screenshot attached of the conversation. Basically, we need to spam [email protected] with a Spotify Feature request for US vehicles. It is IMPORTANT to note that we are not requesting Tesla to pay for Premium Spotify accounts like they do for Slacker. We simply want the option to sign...

B.O.O.S.T. Series Powered Bass Package At NVX, we feel that an amazing car deserves an equally thrilling sound system. The Tesla Model S is certainly no exception to our line of thinking, and that is why we are thrilled to introduce the PBK-TSLAS-VCW104 BOOST Series powered bass enclosure...

Hi everyone, our batch of NVX Audio BOOST Subwoofer kit for the S should be coming in very soon. I know a lot of people were asking/talking about it these past few months while they were on a long back order. The sub in the Model S is pretty sub-par (pun attended), so this will really kick...

I'm on V9 (2018.39.7 9736c9b) and I've been experiencing intermittent audio glitches ever since. The entire audio stack cut out (usually with some static distortion as it cuts out -- think of someone pulling a 3.5mm out of a jack while actively playing off that input, that's sort of what it...

Hi everyone, Was snooping around the car (M3 VIN 29000's) at 1AM and connecting it to the new Wifi Router and I noticed a squeaking static in a pattern (car was plugged in) that repeated itself over the right side speaker. Like a ringing from electronics - the fridge except with static white...

About 12:30 Eastern, my streaming audio, internet radio, and voice commands (at least for the Bug report I was trying to make) all stopped working. Plus I could not reach the car from my mobile app. This is similar-sounding to what some people reported a few days ago when the servers...

Ok, so I've had my car for a couple months... love it of course, but now I'm starting to get the itch to see what I can do to improve the already amazing stock (Premium) stereo. This made me realize that VERY LITTLE is known, in the way of actual specs / configuration. So I figured I'd start...

One of the most annoying parts of the model 3 audio system is the amount of steps it takes to switch from one audio source to another. It would be awesome if your default audio screen was a list of the past 5 (or more!) audio sources you've listened to, because one of those is likely what...

Looking for a NVX Sub Kit. Can't seem to find one now. Not sure if they stopped making them or what.

I'm hoping someone can help me. I got my car yesterday and have been unable to find an answer to this. I don't always like to listen to radio or music when I drive. For the life of me, I have been unable to figure out how to turn the audio/radio off. The media system seems very unintuitive...

I have noticed what I think is a new form of misbehavior by the audio system since the installation of the latest software update (2018.21.9 75bdbc11) a few days ago. The misbehavior occurs with the audio system playing a particular channel of streaming music. The song ends. It cues up the next...

Or turn on or off climate control?

Does anyone on here have aftermarket subwoofers installed? I'm a big bass head and audiophile. Just got my MS and one of my first ad ons will be an audio upgrade. I'm looking forward to some subs in this. HOwever i want something bigger than the NVX i see so many talking about. Anyone here have...

Hello fellow owners in the Southeastern U.S. I live in Atlanta and I think I will go looking for an after-market audio upgrade for my new Model X. If you have experience with this in or near Atlanta, I'd love to get your recommendations. Thanks, David

Just got off the phone with Tesla. I was advised to perform a procedure that seems to be recommended for everyone. Thought I’d pass it along… I called to report an issue I had last night. All audio was inoperable including turn signals, nav & music in my Model S (2018.18 MCU2). I recalled that I...

My impression is that the deep trunk acts as a resonance chamber for road noise so I took a look to see if there might be an easy fix. There are some noise dampening pieces on broad metal surfaces under the trunk carpet and one big sponge under the floor of the trunk. Here are pics looking under...

Anyone else notice the latest update seems to have altered the eq settings for sound? I used to have 12 as a max setting and now 8 seems to be it. I’m a bit of an audiophile and I can already hear less bass response as well as high end treble. What the?! They better not have messed up my sound...

I thought I had seen everything in terms of audio glitches. But yesterday I experienced one I had not seen before: The audio application displayed information (channel name, song title, artist, album name, and album art) for a different song from the one that I was hearing. Everything was...

PM me if you have one available

Has anyone noticed recently that the built-in Streaming service has improved when trying to play a specific song? When we got our X in December 2016, I knew it was kind of hit or miss when requesting to play a specific song. For example, it might play that artist, but not the specific song...

I have a February 2016 Model S without the premium upgrades so everything is standard at that time. My partner got the Model 3 which has obviously has the premium upgrades (since there was no option without). The sound system in the Model 3 sounds much better than my Model S, but I'm no...

my SVC recently upgraded my radio/phone to the 4glte connectivity board which fixed some of my problems. One thing That is happening every day, multiple times a day, is my radio will autoswitch stations. I get out of the car listening to something on slacker and when open the drivers door the...

Has anyone else experienced the following since the last over-the-air software update? Upon starting the car or « restarting » the center screen, speakers will play music OR will play Bluetooth phone calls, whichever comes first. BUT, if you start with music and you get a call, the car will...

Selling my 2015 Tesla Model S 70D AWD, Autopilot and only ~37K miles Car is in Mint condition with some extras: - It will come with Center Console - Storage behind driver and passengers cars - Plastic deep through exterior of the car for extra protection and looks really HOT. 19" Wheels Auto...

I received my Model 3 yesterday and I’m having the SAME issue as many with the Phone Key Disconnected, it’s annoying as hell. I also had an issue this morning while I was on a call through Bluetooth with. Co-worker. While she was talking it came through with a lot of static and not clear. Has...

if I’m parked and waiting for someone to come out of the store or waiting on the kids at their school and I have my Samsung phone in the little tray directly below the MCU I at time will get this weird static, buzzing, interference sound through the speakers. I know the obvious answer, move the...

After reading through a bunch of custom stereo install threads it became pretty clear to me that I could do an aftermarket upgrade that was better and cheaper than the Tesla premium sound system which I was underwhelmed by when I briefly took a listen in the showroom. For me adding more speakers...

I'm a big time audio nut thats into 2 channel home audio. I have an acoustically treated dedicated listening room with some reference monitors, high end DAC, FLAC collection, equilateral triangle listening position, the entire works... Big time snob. I ordered a CPO Model S that happens to...

Folks, I may look into audio upgrades for my MS and wondering who all (in VA) have done audio upgrades -- which ones and from which shop? No point re-inventing the wheel if others have liked (or disliked) some shops and/or certain upgrades. Can you please share your experience? Thanks!

Maybe I have missed this, but it doesn't seem like there is USB music in the 3? Stuck my Model S USB music stick in the 3 USB port (disconnected a phone dock cord) and... nothing. No change to the music screen. Does anyone know if it is planned for the future? Color me disappointed...

Just ran across this product - Tesla Model S Ultimate Kit from BA Design Works. I don't work for them. Looks like drop in 6.5" Rockford Fosgate speakers rated at 1.2 ohms with brackets and a sub/amp in the trunk for $995 available next month. Any thoughts? I've got a 2015 70D that comes off...

I'd like to be able to have music on a USB memory stick, and also connect two phones in the dock. Since the rear USB ports are only for power, I'm wondering if adding a small USB hub to one of the front ports might work. Has anyone tried this yet? Something like one of these...

Picked up my Model 3 today at the new Fremont Hub. Overall it was a great pickup and overview of controls and features. However, on the drive home I decided to turn up the stereo to test out the audio. It sounded kind of hollow and lacking any base. Upon further review just the front upper...

Has anyone had an issue with the audio for the Voice navigation not working? The volume is on and it is NOT muted. This occurred during our road trip to Michigan right after we got our annual Tesla service. I tried rebooting both screens by pushing the bottom buttons and top buttons, but the...

Did a search and didn't find a similar topic. I picked up my white model 3 in LA yesterday (non-employee) and love the car. Here are a few thoughts I had that could improve the car at this point in time via software updates: #1 - Scheduled Charging: Must have! I want to plug my car in and not...

Today I tested 24 bit, 192 kHz in my 2016 MS since I could not find where anyone had confirmed that functionality. I first tried a file from here: 2L High Resolution Music .:. free TEST BENCH and it was indeed much better than anything else in my car. I confirmed that on my home system, 192...

Anyone else notice that in the past few months the streaming radio seems to buffer a lot more than before. Mine buffers or gets a loading error close to 80% of the time when trying to listen.
