How to access Spotify?

[specie]

I have a premium subscription that I was able to use via Apple Carplay in my last vehicle. I can’t seem to find where/how to access Spotify in the Y. Do I need to download it? Please inform. Thanks.

You can either streaming it on your phone through bluetooth, or there is a native spotify app in the music menu. It could be better.

Thanks
Was able to find it after pulling the music menu higher.

You can also use the voice command "Open Spotify" instead of using the screen.

Just got my Y and went to the spotify app. It is asking for log on credentials. Not sure which credentials they want, my Tesla account?

Please help
thanks

It wants your Spotify login credentials.

So to be clear, I need to have a Spotify account and this does not come with the Premium connectivity that I get with Tesla Model Y LR?

Spotify is free and is an app not tied to Tesla.

Simply create an account.

Thanks. Now I understand. It's like the free Pandora account. But to use Pandora, I need to feed the car through my phone, correct?

I couldn't get Spotify to work with a free account, it needed to be a premium account.

Interesting. I have Premium so I can't confirm otherwise.

But I wouldn't see why you couldn't use it on the base subscription.

Tesla mentions in their manual that Spotify only works with Premium subscription.

Now if I could only figure out how to start playing my playlist in ‘shuffle’ mode....

Seriously... It remembers I want my playlist on shuffle so I just hit the top song then skip to the next. But a shuffle button would be a nice add.

I've all of a sudden been getting "Spotify is playing on another device" errors. I just refresh and it plays no problem. Any idea what this is?

I would sometimes see this message after I linked my Spotify Premium account to Amazon Alexa as the default music streaming service. I switched the Amazon Alexa default music streaming service back to Amazon Music and have not had this problem again.

I have no issues when listening to Spotify on my iPhone, then listening to Spotify in my Model Y. (Usually the Tesla Spotify app will start playing the last music selection I was listening to on my iPhone.

Spotify playlists are still buggy. If I start playing one of the Spotify Daily Mixes, the next time I drive Spotify will start playing some random favorite, totally ignore the Daily Mix playlist.

Yeah, it's definitely strange - if I'm playing my main playlist, then were to switch to the radio, then exit the car, then return and go back to Spotify, it basically takes me to the beginning of my playlist and then shuffles from there. I wish it would just pick up where it left off always.

There was an update and now when I try to start Spotify in my MS there is a QR code on the screen. When I scan the QR code on my phone it opens Spotify on my phone. Trying to figure out how to log in to Spotify in my car. It no longer asks for user name and password, which would have been easy.
