    Very minor problem.. but a bit frustrating as I am listening to music over Bluetooth 90 percent of the time I am driving... I would say about 70% of the time, the album art doesn't load when playing music/podcasts over Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this and have any suggestions on how...

    Car "hijacks" phone audio while I'm at home.

    I searched for an answer to this but couldn't find anything more recent than 2017, so forgive me if it's been discussed more recently. And it may be a problem for all Teslas, not just the Model 3. But this never happened with any other of my Bluetooth enabled cars. When I'm at home, using my...

    Questions about bluetooth and bluetooth microphone, when is it on?

    So this is in relation to getting "ok google" to work in car. Currently I have phone set to use car as microphone, but it doesn't seem like it can hear me, so I was thinking that maybe bluetooth isn't sending the microphone data most of the time since it is using it for its own commands. Note...

    Bluetooth Echo

    I couldn’t find another thread on this. We have had a horrible echo for people we are talking to on our cell phones when making or receiving calls from our Model 3 using Bluetooth. We both have iPhone 7s. Anybody else experiencing this? It is unusable the way it is right now. I hope there is a...

    Android Problems With First Call

    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...

    Car won't unlock until I handle my iPhone

    My two iPhones have never worked properly with my 3. My brand new iPhone XS Max, for example, will fail to hands-free unlock the car most of the time. The odd thing is, however, that once I take the phone out of my pocket (waking up the screen) the car immediately unlocks. I don't have to...

    Bluetooth vs Many Tesla Window Smashing?

    Nowadays there are so many window smashing break-ins with Teslas, especially in the Bay Area. Thieves use Bluetooth scanner to look for laptops and phones.

    Bluetooth Kidnapping

    Why is it that my Model X takes over my phone call before I get into the car? Why is it that when I'm at home and walk by the garage door, the car takes over my phone call and I can't hear the caller because I'm NOT IN THE CAR? I'm talking to my doctor or another important caller (or any caller)...

    Relocating Bluetooth Mic due to wind noise

    Hey all, I keep seeing all kinds of posts about how people on the other end of a phone call made from a Model S at highway speeds commenting things like "Are you under water?"

    I have a LG G4 (ATT) and had a less than 25% success rate in unlocking my Model 3. I downloaded "Bluetooth Auto Connect" from the Google Play Store and so far (couple days) have had a 100% success rate. It keeps the phone in discover mode whenever it doesn't have a bluetooth connection. It...

    V9 audio glitches

    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...

    Bluetooth media pairing issue, phone as a key works fine

    I'm wondering if others have had this issue and found a workaround that I could try. I have a Oneplus One and using it for the key is fine, I mean Bluetooth usually has an issue but quickly turning it off/on works 100% of the time after that. What I can't do is setup my phone to play media...

    Model S and X unlock using phone

    The Model 3 is shipping with no fob. They are providing an RFID card instead. Most people will just use their phone, which when paired with the app, unlocks the vehicle as you approach.

    Why doesn't Tesla's Bluetooth support AptX?

    Dump of background information now follows. If you aren't interested in the nitty-gritty of Bluetooth used for streaming audio playback from your phone, you're about to be bored so just skip to the TL;DR. First, we all know that Tesla cars do not have 3.5" Aux In jacks, which look exactly like...

    Why can't smartphones communicate directly with your Tesla?

    Phones have WiFi and Bluetooth. Teslas have WiFi and Bluetooth. Why should smartphones need to go thru the internet (which isn't always available) just to allow keyless entry and driving? Wouldn't it be convenient if your phone or watch virtually replaced the key fob? One less thing to carry.
