    2016 model x 90D speaker system and Bluetooth microphone(s) location

    Hi there, Does anyone know how many speakers are in the model x 2016 90D? I just got one and wondering if anyone has a speaker array image or information. I noticed the front left and right door speakers aren’t working. Perhaps they are blown which makes me want to check all of them. Also my...

    Confirmation button for Bluetooth call transfer not available on older Model S?

    My wife was frustrated with this last night, so I am checking the collective wisdom of this forum. The setup: She is on a call with her earbuds physically plugged in and is walking out to get in the car. Bluetooth is turned on. With her car, a 2022 Model Y, when she gets into the car, the...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max and Bluetooth cutting in and out

    Anyone have an issue with the Bluetooth cutting in and out whether in the middle of a call or playing a song. Not sure why but I’ve noticed that it’ll disconnect then reconnect. It’s pretty weird. Should I just plug the phone into the usb for music? I already have one usb for the sentry...

    Incoming callers hear the radio

    On a new Model S Plaid, incoming callers hear my music playing on the FM (HD) radio for a split second, long enough to identify the genre. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Hubble network (Bluetooth!?)

    The result is a radio signal that can be detected around 1,000 kilometers away — or almost 10 orders of magnitude longer than what can be detected from a Bluetooth chip over terrestrial networks. Here is an interesting project. These people want to connect a billion existing (and new) Bluetooth...

    Is there still no way to split the audio in the S and X? Music in the front, kids watching youtube in the back? With our without headphones? If not, that rear screen is a useless tablet...

    2023 Model 3 RWD on phone via bluetooth speaker distortion/crackling

    I just picked up a 2023 RWD 3 and when I use my iPhone in the car over bluetooth to make phone calls, the person sounds like they are talking through a partially blown speaker. The person I am speaking to says I sound clear to them but they don’t sound that way to me. Playing music sounds fine...

    Does it mean anything if a brand new model Y has 66 miles when I receive it and a previous iPhone already connected via bluetooth?

    Just got delivered a brand new Model Y. I am told that it’s new and it has never been used for demo, but it has an iPhone already connected that isn’t mine, and came with 66 miles on it. Does this indicate that the car isn’t actually new? Or is this normal?

    Car advertising SBC Codec only, Not AAC

    When I got in this car in October, the audio quality was better than any other car I'd been in. My wife and I both commented on it, before anything else - performance, driving dynamics - "wow, this sounds great!" I noticed a few days ago that the audio quality was noticeably worse and...

    Is there a way to send text messages to my car instead of my Apple Watch?

    I'm testing out an old Apple Watch Series 3 to see if I like it and the problem I'm having is that it keeps eating my text messages when I'm in my car. Before I got the watch all of my text messages would get sent to my car for me to see and respond to. After I started using the watch all...

    MYLR Bluetooth Microphone Cutting out

    When I am talking on the phone using car’s Bluetooth, the mic randomly cuts out. I can hear the person on the other side, but they cannot hear me. Only way to make it work again is to toggle between phone’s speaker phone and Bluetooth. This happens every few minutes. I am using iPhone 13, but I...

    Multi-Device Bluetooth....Where Is It?

    When Tesla first unveiled the refreshed Model S/X, they promised multi-device Bluetooth which would presumably be useful for rear-seat passengers watching media on the second-row screen. It doesn't seem like this feature has been added yet. Does anyone have any insight into if/when this will...

    Phone on Bluetooth and navigation muffled

    I just picked up my new 2021 S yesterday. On the way home, I noticed the phone through Bluetooth was very muffled. Sounded like it was coming from a small speaker to the left of the driver in the dash. Also I cannot understand the navigation at all. Sounds like Charlie browns teacher. Otherwise...

    I have a Tesla Y, iPhone 13 max pro, and an Apple Watch 6. My iPhone works flawlessly as a phone key, but pairing for audio and calls has become a constant headache since I started using an Apple Watch. The phone will no longer automatically pair to the car. I have to manually choose it to...

    Tesla Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) API Documentation

    Hey, I recently reverse engineered Tesla's BLE protocol which is used by (model 3 + y) keyfobs, the phone key, tire pressure sensors, and possibly more! I had a very fun time reverse engineering the Android app, and figuring out how cryptography even works; yes there's good cryptography...

    Do I need to spend the CDN125$Each for Bluetooth TPMS or can the much cheaper MHz-based options work with 2021 MY? The shop I ordered from tells me they won’t work.

    Tesla Bluetooth API

    Hi , guys. I'm a iOS developer and now I'm developing an app to control my Tesla car. I have got most of Tesla API done, but the most useful which is Phone Key Function is not in Tesla API doc list. I think it's a Bluetooth API, does some one develop this function? Thanks.

    Bluetooth TPMS for MY/M3 to Norway

    Hi From what I have read, the new bluetooth tpms is of use in MY and maybe later for the M3. Regardless, the service centers in Norway did not know of the bluetooth kind, maybe because the model y hasn't been delivered in my country. I am in search of the bluetooth tmps, but can seemingly not...

    Walk-up and unlock doesn't ever work when my phone is locked and in my pocket. I always have to physically remove my phone from my pocket and then either hold it horizontally or unlock the phone itself before pulling on door handle actually unlocks the car. My guess is that the gyroscope moving...

    Hello everyone, Sometimes when I turn on the indicators on my Model 3 they go silent. I can still see that they're flashing, but I can't hear the noise that's associated with it! It doesn't happen a lot, but seems to be happening more often, is it something I'm doing? At first, I thought it...

    Does MCU2 fix bluetooth audio / video delay?

    One of the things I'd like to do is watch Netflix on a tablet or phone using the car's audio. Unfortunately, in my 2016 model S, there is a full second of bluetooth audio delay between the video on the device and the sound coming out of the speakers. My previous car, a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, had...

    M3 Bluetooth disconnects from phones every 18.5 seconds.

    Disappearing Bluetooth Door Locking Radios

    During most of our first 12 months with our Tesla Model 3, using an Authenticated Phone as a “key” worked as expected.
