Music USB

[Wilber]

Why not just use an SSD with 2 partitions, one for dashcam recording and the other for playing audio? I've been doing it this way for over a year. Like ElectricAnt54, all my music is in FLAC format.

OK, but i had to ask Google what an SSD was! Can you recommend a particular SSD to buy? And, all my music is MP3.

Samsung 500GB or 1 TB

I'm personally using a 500GB Samsung T7, but like charlesoris says a 500GB or 1TB Samsung, should be good enough. If you're willing to spend the time and energy to convert your music to FLAC, you'll enjoy it a lot more. I've been listening to music in FLAC format for several years and I don't enjoy listening to MP3s, even if the bit rate is 320Kbps.

How did you add CarPlay?

 

[svsk135]

I added data capable usb-c mainly for these reasons:

1) I didn't want to take a chance of overloading the USB device used for recording video by also having it active reading/streaming music files off the device. I have no idea if Tesla system streams the media or reads it quickly and keeps info in RAM..etc. So playing it safe.
2) I wanted dual game controllers in the car and manual says to not use a usb bridge in glovebox's USB-A.
3) I wanted to have parity with model y's built 3 weeks before my car. It's a silly feature to remove and very useful...but that's just me. I also added Apple CarPlay/Anderoid Auto to my car so I'm an oddball I guess.
4) It is easier to use the usb-c ports below infotainment screen than having to always open glovebox. I tend to take my music USB out of the car when not in use due to high cabin temperatures.

I have a 2017 S and was using one of my USB ports for my music. One day it just stopped working. I took the USB and plugged into my laptop and the music plays just fine. My software version is 2021.24.28. Does that have anything to do with my USB not playing my music? I do not have the Sentry on at home and only use it occassionaly, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any help on getting my USB music to work again.

I have a hansshow 9” linux based screen which mounts behind steering wheel. You can see another person’s setup and link to a video review here CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough.

My own review starts here and a few messages later I post more tips on preventing people phoning you from hearing their last statements 2 seconds later.

Pretty impressive indeed. To be clear, not sure if you're were thinking or implying this, but I'm not Michal. I am a fan of his work and have been checking in frequently on his Twitter, which says a lot because I'm not a Twitter user really. I'm going to try to explain what I understand...

USB for both TeslaCam and Music

I have a LR21.I have my music files on a USB stick. I wanted to have this in addition to the Tesla Cam. Bought a USB splitter which goes in to the glovebox (which stated was compatible with Tesla). One had Tesla dashcam drive and the other USB stick with music. I am finding that I can use one...

When you say splitter, is it the same as a hub minus the power requirement?

I am using this hub connected to the port in the glovebox. Works fine with both the sentry drive and my music drive connected. Music shows up on screen and works great.
