Can you use an iPod in a Tesla model 3?

[Husky Fan]

Hi All, just got my new 2022 model 3 Tesla and we are in love. What an amazing vehicle! Learning new stuff daily…. but… does anyone know if you can load your iTunes account to Tesla? I love having my iPod in my CRV and would love to have the same in the Tesla. FYI - I’m technologically challenged so make it simple for me if it can be done

Welcome to TMC.

You can only use an ipod as a storage device to store........ Let me stop right there, based on what you said here:

So, the effective answer is "no, Teslas do not work with media players in the way you are used to, and there is no "easy" way to do it that would keep it compatible with your other car.

I'd expect you could bluetooth-stream the iPod to your car the same as you would with an iPhone.
Alternatively, you could add your iTunes library to the USB drive, but library updates would be much more cumbersome and Tesla's interface for playing USB tracks is miserable.
