They also have a metal frame. That was the reason that BMW gave for disabling AM on the i3.The AM tuner in my 2011 Volt and my 2017 Bolt EV Chevrolets work fine and both cars use permanent magnet motors.

Disabling but not omitting the AM receiver hardware.They also have a metal frame. That was the reason that BMW gave for disabling AM on the i3.
I turned it on in my i3. Then I remembered that I don't listen to AM at all and forgot about it.Disabling but not omitting the AM receiver hardware.
Nope, it does none of that. The bluetooth controls are pretty basic.
Crap, didn't realize it's been 5 years of no movement on USB controls. I was hoping it would come soon enough as a bridge until their streaming comes along. My thinking is that if they're planning on making their own streaming service, they're not going to put manpower towards fleshing out the existing streaming options and/or make deals to add others onto the cars until they get their own service up and running. Making a bridge option more necessary. That and it's been long enough to figure out how to do USB controls.
I, and lots of other iPhone owners, own a lot of music on iTunes. Normally, there's a convenience to that. I guess that convenience just turned into a huge hassle with Tesla.
LOL. If I sing in my car, the last thing anyone would call it would be "music"No music. If you want music in your car, sing.
But iTunes music isn't DRMed. I have all my music navigable on a USB stick. I find that much more convenient than having to hook up my phone to USB.
What people don't appreciate is that Tesla would have to account for USB protocol differences between iDevices and Android devices. They behave way differently when connected to a USB port.
I can tell you BT streaming works very well, at least in the MS.My 2012 Ford Mustang and my wife’s 2016 Jeep Cherokee handle playing music off of both Android and iOS devices connected via USB with almost no issues. If this is possible with my over 6 year old Mustang then there really isn’t any excuse for Tesla not to have streaming music via USB from an Android or iOS device. If the Bluetooth streaming works well though then I’ll be happy to live with that.
Of course, that's because Chevy omitted a navigation system, forcing you to use your connected phone. It makes sense that they implemented CarPlay and AndroidAuto.That's exactly my setup with my Bolt (USB-C connection charges my phone while connecting my phone to the car via Android Auto).

Oh, you want your entire song CATALOG on the phone, over BT. I'm talking about controlling the playback - last track, next track, pause - and album art on the display.Unless you want to be able to select what it's playing.

Which vehicles do what you're asking via BT?
I'll have to check that out. I know that was NOT true of my 2014 Prius Plug In Advanced. Just checked the Toyota website:Our BMW i3, Toyota Sienna, and VW GTI can all do that easily for both our Android phones and our iPad. I was surprised by the lack of ability to do that in our X.
