Slacker Radio 320 Kbps Bitrate (how do I access it?)

According to this Tesla's have the plus subscription with the higher bitrate, but bitrate is limited to 160kbps. I am not sure if anyone has opened their own account and had 320 kbps options or not, and if the car was able to buffer it, but all I know is it sounds one hell of a lot better than Sirius ever did.

I too have the upgraded Audio.
Ive already done that and tried to login and check, so lemme save you some time and suspense.
There is indeed an option you need to turn on.
That is the setting page once you get your account information and login to slacker.
Under Maximum Audio you set at on.
Oh really?
Did they give me mine because i have a P100D?
IF this helps here is the email i got my info from.

Did you notice a difference once you enabled it?

Same here. I even compared by logging in and out, played the same music ... no difference. Cancelled my Slacker sub after 4 months.

Can you take a pic of that setting in the car? I've been on the fence, but if that's true, I'll do it.

My understanding from reading older threads is that in-car streaming is limited to 160 Kbps, irrespective of the settings within the account.
It's actually limited to 128kbs in the car's software. Not possible to change it.

More evidence that it is limited to 128/160 kbps.
But is it better than not having the subscription? Have you tested it?
I don't know if it is possible for someone who rooted the car to be able to determine the actual bit rate, but either 128 or 160 it doesn't really make that much difference between the two but I have seen no proof that we can get 320 kbps.
Someone with the $30 a year subscription is just paying for the ability to skip songs backwards essentially.
My Tidal streamed in my home system is >1000 kbps, that would be a significant improvement and maybe with some MCU upgrade in the future it might be possible to stream that someday, until then if you want the best audio in this car you need to play your lossless files from a USB, and hope that eventually it will become more stable in the near future; mine has been getting kicked out over the past month due to the last 2 updates, but it is possible the hotspot for the dash cam has interfered with the flash drive circuit also.

Did you log into Slacker using your Tesla`s touchscreen?
