M3 2024 Media Player ? no such thing?

[dandelot]

Media Player mentioned for M3 on tesla.com and rather vaguely on M3 owners manual and introduction.
Cannot find it.
Other than the USB A in the glove box for tesla to record camera stuff it is not
clear of there is another reader port... Is the USB C in the
rear console box a reader or just power (back seat USB C are documented as just power).

If you want to play media via USB, you will need to put a USB hub in the port on the glove compartment and connect to USB devices to it (or format the existing device into 2 partitions).

That is the only data port in the car for USB data.

There are some words in the vehicle documentation that says putting a hub in the glove compartment may cause problems with recording camera data. If I have a bluetooth device with songs on it (an old phone with no sim card) connected is there a way to play songs that way? Somehow?. What app in the car can do that?

You make a bluetooth connection with that device to the car, then change music source from whatever it is now, to bluetooth.

That is encouraging, but I don't understand how to 'change the music source'.
What exactly would I change?
