Basically you have to partition the drive you're using for tesla cam. Right away I've noticed the tracks can't be uploaded to the Tesla's internal storage so you need space on the drive that can't be written over. To partition is to assign a small portion of the total hard drive to one specific purpose which effectively makes it into to separate hard drives.
I only know the PC (WINDOWS 10) fix but there are videos on foxes for Mac which is the same concept: erase your drive, re-format into partitions, and insert your media into the one for Boombox.
Step1- you need admin privileges to your computer in order to manipulate drives.
Right click the windows start button and select Disk Management.
Step2- find your Tesla drive in the list at the bottom, right click and select the option to erase or Delete Volume.
Step3- the blue bar on the drive should turn black "unallocated" and you can then right click and select New Simple Volume.
Step4- click through the Wizard until you see a number box. Type a number which you want your Boombox size to be (you can only use five tracks on the Tesla so don't go nuts on size). Example of your total disk size is 283472, you could do 5000 and end up with 5GB if space -or so- for your music which is likely overkill.
Step5- click next and select how you want to save it (I'd just got next through this unless you want a specific letter for your drive)
Step6- make sure you select fat32 or exFAT for format (not NTFS). Name your partitions accordingly; if you're currently trying to make the Boombox one, label it Boombox.
Step7- finish up by clicking next and double-checking your selections before completing and select finish.
Repeat steps 2-7 for the other half of your drive to assign it to Tesla cam. Of you don't do this your car may only see Boombox and want to try to write over that at the Tesla cam OR just want to completely reformat the drive and undo all your work.
You can drop as many tracks as you can fit in your Boombox partition BUT the Tesla will only take the top five in the folder.
