It is just a bluetooth connection to the phone. Any audio that plays on the phone will play through the speakers. I run a podcast app on my phone. ONce I start the app, I can pause, skip forward, change volume with the phone. Can't display the contents of the phone on the car screen though.

We are able to display the playlist from the phone on screen. First the phone must be open to that playlist for it to work.
I just confirmed that tapping on "Playlist" shows the tracks for the currently playing album but no other music content is shown. Is that what you mean? I wish I could see ALL the music on my phone so I could choose what to play through the touch screen.

We see all our songs on the UI.
First, we open the music app on the phone.
Then go to Library and select: Songs.
Now that list is showing up with our entire collection on the dash UI.
This is working on our MY with an iPhone 12.
Hope this helps.

Tesla can't do USB playlists. It's one thing that really bugs me. I have a huge music library with playlists. My 2014 Buick Regal GS supports this. I can also select by artist album, or whatever. My daily habit was to jump in the car, select a playlist on the vehicle screen (which includes a variety of artists in a variety of folders) and play it. We have essentially the most technically advanced car in the world...that can't do USB playlists...
And you also can't buy a big thumb drive and have your sentry and dashcam video on the same drive as your music, because music can't be played from anything other than the 2 USB-C ports in the center console.
I have my music plugged into the glovebox USB and it works. It's on a Raspberry Pi running TeslaUSB which creates two partitions, one for TeslaCam and one for music. As far as the car is concerned, it looks like a USB stick with the cam and music folders.
Lack of playlist support and other bugs with USB music (like songs listed with the artist in the songs list, but that artist isn't listed on the artists list) still need to be fixed.
I created two partitions and mine wouldn't read anything in the glove box USB. I couldn't find any info on it either. Kudos to you for finding the Pi option. Does it create partitions in some special way or with some special names or something?
That's strange. It cant do usb playlists anyway, but I'm hoping they fix that, and it would be nice to have it all on my glove box drive because there is no unobtrusive USB-c drive, or one with a right angle.
That wasnt a good place for them to put those USB-c Jack's IMO.
I had to use a playlist app and add things to it. Android worked with Samsung Music (if you use Android). My last car just showed every song on the phone.
