Audible

Hi All,

I have a Model 3 on order and I listen to alot of audible books whilst driving. I checked online and it appears the Tesla software doesn't have an audible app available.

Just wanted to know what workarounds people have used and how well they work? I read you can Bluetooth your phone however that means I can only control the app via the phone which is not ideal whilst driving.

If anyone had figured out a way to listen to the books and control from the car screen itself please let me know your process.

Thanks in advance

I use Bluetooth. To be honest. I set a book playing, and I don't need more controls. Rocking the left wheel control skips forward and backward. Useful if I missed something or want to re-listen, but otherwise...

Ah this is perfect, I didnt realise you could control skipping forward and backward as that's pretty much the only control that I need. Thanks for sharing

I added an Echo Auto (gen 1, £20 at the time) to play Audible / Amazon Music when I'm out and about. Additional benefit is turning on the lights before I get in the drive.

Loss of Apple Car Play is the biggest disappointment in my Tesla. Besides Audible, Google Maps is terrible compared to Waze. There is a third party product that adds Apple Car Play to a Tesla but I’ve not purchased it… Yet.
