Just thought I would revive this again...because it's getting close to time to finally trade up my Volt for a Model S. I frequently listen to movies on my long drives for business, as I have a large collection of movies on DVD. My 2012 Volt had a DVD player built into the dash. Insert disk, start movie, and off I go (screen turns off but audio plays, which is fine). Hard to replicate this on a Model S. It's very difficult to rip DVDs, and I'm not sure if any of the old school DRM violating DVD ripping programs can convert it to a suitable audio format that can be put on USB. And it takes a long time to rip a DVD, especially since the DRM nazis made it so most newer DVD players cannot rip at over 2x speed. I can get a portable DVD player, but how do I get the audio into the car? Best bet I guess is to use one of those bluetooth transmitters, though I've heard some of those don't work with the Model S. Guess I'll just buy one after another until one of them works. And I assume it means I can't use my phone in the car if I do.
You know what would make the whole problem go away? Aux in port. My Volt has one of those too.
