    Dashcam Model X APH4, 2019.5.17

    I just got a new Tesla Model X which has HW3.0, APH4 but running software 2019.5.17. My VIN is in the 157xxx range so definately in the latest production batch. I can't get Dashcam to work. I've even acquired a BRAND NEW USB drive, which is FAT32 formatted and I just created 1 folder called...

    New 512GB USB causing music to skip on 2019.5.15

    I used to use a Patriot Rage2 128GB thumb drive formatted into 2 Fat32 partitions, one for my FLAC music and the other for the TeslaCam. With the new software 2019.5.15 adding the Sentry Mode I noticed the drive for the TeslaCam filled up and stopped recording so I went out and purchased a...

    Disabled Touch Screen

    Hi All Recently, after the latest software update, my touch screen was disabled. It still did show everything but it would not respond to any inputs. I did try restarts and all and actually called support. But no use. I had to learn to use the car without the middle screen for a week or so...

    Cost to fix busted/bent USB outlets?

    My X is heading into its 3rd year of service and the 2nd row USB outlets have taken a beating from various yanks over the years. Curious about repair and costs.

    TeslaTari Game Controller

    I read that the most recent update (2018.48.12) allows people to play the video games via an XboxOne or PS4 game controller when plugged into one or the USB drives. This sounds great to me as I have a video-game obsessed kiddo and we have multiple gaming systems at home. I MUCH prefer handing...

    Streaming Audio and Error Loading

    I posted this in another area but thought it might be better here..... I solved my streaming issue, but I'm not sure why.... Since my update to V9, my streaming music would do mini drops or error loading..then after loading it would skip through the songs. This has been quite annoying. I tried...

    USB Splitter for Dash Cam & charging dock

    I purchased this splitter from Amazon and it seems to work for simultaneous charging of your phone from the console dock and USB recording of dash cam footage. I actually didn't think it would work to do both but it does. Using my USB multimeter charging my iPhone 7: Plugged directly into M3 USB...

    Dashcam - Setup and more -- Ring capabilities?

    So after we setup the Dashcam and was 'lucky' enough to witness and capture this accident, we were discussing the benefits of the Dashcam and the Model 3's other cameras-- 8 outside, 1 inside. We LOVE our Ring and it really does make a difference in our home monitoring and telling UPS to put...

    [V9] How to Format USB into 2 Partitions for DashCam and Music [Windows]

    Introduction I find the requirement for a separate USB drive for music and the v9 dashcam feature to be annoying. Without some type of work-around, that would use both USB ports in the front of the car, leaving you with no USB port for phone charging. It's been reported that you can partition...

    USB corruption for dashcam recording

    After a couple of hours using dashcam, it stops working. The "dashcam" icon on the main display now includes an "X" instead of a red dot. Looks like the file system got corrupted. Plugging and re-inserting the drive didn't help. When I swapped in a new drive as the current one, the dashcam icon...

    Work around for albums being Split on USB Flash Drive Music

    This isn't the first time I've had to "tweak" my music library for a new car or Radio. I have about 10,000 songs 600 albums on a 128gb USB 3.0 Drive. There is a "bug" in Tesla Model 3 that splits Albums if the Artist Tag is different between tracks within an Album. I have lots of "compilation"...

    USB port management if the Dashcam update in Rev 9 takes 1 port

    I know in the "interior and exterior" area of the forum there was a lot of talk about the possibility of adding a hub, but as far as I can tell, the majority of the users were looking at hub management for phone charging purposes. This seemed more of a connectivity issue. Now that there is...

    Front USB ports not working

    All, Ecstatic new M3D owner! Unfortunately, within 24 hours of delivery, my front USB ports no longer work. The rears still work. Thru these forums I have discovered 2 methods that might fix it, unfortunately, neither worked. Method 1: Screen reset by holding down the scroll-wheels on the...

    USB Phone charging cable swap

    So I just took delivery of my red Model 3 today. I am very happy with the car, the way it drives, the way it looks etc. I got one little surprise (and I mean little) today during delivery. The sales guy said they provide one iPhone and one Android charging cable with each car. I asked for a...

    Music--How can I prevent duplicate Categories for a single Artist?

    I have used my Apple Laptop to download a number of Albums from www.hdtracks.com to a FAT32 formatted flash drive which I am then able to insert in a USB port on my 2017 Tesla Model 3 and play music. The individual songs from each Album get put into a separate Folders on the flash drive and the...

    USB Charging Speed Slow?

    What kind of charging speeds is everyone seeing in their Model 3? My Moto X4 (USB-C) only charges at 0.5A (confirmed with Ampere app and USB power meter). It's the same with both the front and rear USB ports. I've seen reports that it should charge at up to 2A. What are you getting?

    Does anyone know how to put USB playback on repeat?

    On the S/X, USB playback has a repeat and shuffle button, but I couldn't find it on the 3. Does anyone know how to do it so the music doesn't stop after the last song?

    Longer Lightning Connectors for dock?

    I'm having a heck of a time trying to get our iPhones to fully seat on the lightning chargers in the 3's phone dock. We have cases on the phones, but they're not particularly large (I have a Mous case). The connectors are too short by just a millimeter or two. Has anyone else found a...

    No USB Music?

    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...

    USB Hub for Model 3's front ports?

    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...

    Tesla not playing certain .m4a music files?

    Hello- When I bought my Tesla few years back, I converted all my iTunes songs to .m4a, which was the recommendation at the time if I remember correctly. I put the .m4a files on a USB stick, insert the USB stick into the Tesla USB receptacle, and all is reasonably well. However, there are...

    USB Ports 3.0?

    USB-C Quick Connection Phone Dock

    Has anyone found a good USB-C cable to use with the Quick Connection Phone Dock? I'm getting a new phone soon, and it is going to have USB-C. I know Tesla still doesn't offer their own USB-C cable for the phone dock, but I'm hoping that there's a decent aftermarket cable I can use with it.

    USB Stored Music Selection

    I have an extensive music collection on a USB drive. We have ordered a Model S that should arrive at the end of the month. How does the audio system display the albums/songs/artists on the USB, and how do you select what you want to play? Can you use voice commands to select songs/artists? Thanks

    Model S - USB Port Compilation Thread

    I was reading more about USB ports on the Tesla as I'm thinking of "expanding" the ports on the Model S to passengers (read "kids") in the rear seat (e.g., let them plug in USB devices to play their music) in addition to charging devices. Along the way, I found a few threads that had to do with...

    No Song Info in Folder Mode on USB

    For me at least, it appears that playing a song from a USB drive through the Artist, Album, Song selections will display the artist, album and song info in the music app. If however, you go through the Folders selection, the only thing displayed is the name of the song. The MP3 file (for...

    TeslaOS: What will connect via the USB port?

    A wired mouse will connect via the USB ports in the Model S but (in my experience) a wireless one will not. A thumb drive will connect. A wired USB keyboard but not (in my experience) a wireless one. What have you tested?

    USB audio for iPhone?

    When you connect an iPhone via USB, I understand that it charges, but does it connect to play audio? Or does that only work through Bluetooth? Based on what I've heard in other cars, I would prefer to listen through the USB, since it typically sounds slightly better and is less susceptible to...
