Slacker radio: song skips MCU2

[Sparkx]

Had my MS 2016 ungraded to MCU2. Occasionally with previous system a song would skip (halfway thorough or near the end). Now it does it most of the time which is really annoying. It’s not a connectivity problem because we know what that looks like (failure to load etc). Anyone else have this problem? It’s much worse with the upgrade!

This was happening on my 2016 Model S after the MCU2 upgrade. Talked with Tesla about it and they said to submit a bug report each time it happened and to call them back. Sold the car before calling them back so I never got a solution. Hopefully it gets fixed in a future software update.

I have seen this too. It does not happen on every song but frequently enough that I noticed. We have a 2014 S85 updated with MCU2.

This recently started happening to me as well

Same for me. Almost half the songs stop, and then a new song starts. Did the mcu2 swap out a few months back.

I noticed one of my cars does this lately as well however mine is MCU1. It started right after Tesla replaced the eMMC chip about a month ago.

Not good news. Scheduled next week for upgrade

And I thought it was just me!

Mine as well.
Although it’s not all the time and I’ve learned to ignore it. (Slacker is free )
but is there any chance it’s somehow on slackers end?

I do the bug report every time it skips a song. I went to tesla and they did a diag on the MCU and everything and said it was all good to go, this was like 2 weeks ago and it hasn't happened since, but now that I've said that it'll skip when I leave work for lunch

I have this every few days. And occasional Internal Error resulting in no music at all.

I've been having this recently with my Model 3.

Sometimes it appears to be bandwidth issue where it will stop playing, buffer, and then it will start playing again.

Other times it just skips to another song halfway through.

I've had a Tesla since 2015, and in those 6 years with two different Tesla's its never been this bad.

I don't know if its a server side issue, SW issue, or local connectivity issue.

I'm thinking of getting a trial account with spotify, and trying that out.

I am getting all these problems as well - nothing in the car has been changed since new. Just started in the last few weeks.

I suspect it is a Slacker issue.

Agree re Slacker issue. Been happening in my 2019 MX for a few weeks as well

Same issue with Tesla paid Radio skipping songs constantly before song is done. Very annoying! Anyone Call Tesla for take their car in to get it fixed? Seems like last update made it worse!

 

[Paul-K]

I’ve had this “song skips part way through” issue for a while, maybe a year or so. No computer changes. 2018 LR Model 3. Over the past 3-4 months it’s getting much more frequent.

I also infrequently get a message something like “autopilot safety systems unavailable”. Will schedule service soon for both complaints.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I just update to MCU2 a couple of months back.
The skipping of songs (almost every 2nd to 3rd song btw - very annoying) and the internal error message or connectivity error message (with 4+ bars of signal strength) is getting old.
This did not happen with MCU1 - but then MCU1 had it's own problems.

Where is the fix?
Why it is not recognized by Tesla?
This appears to happening across all model lines.

The skipping songs is getting to be a real pain in the ass and it’s getting old fast. Both of my vehicles are MCU1 and they have both been getting progressively worse with skipping songs and connectivity issues with streaming music the past few months. Another issue is the vehicle(s) randomly log out of Tunein every few weeks.
I’m guessing nobody that works at Tesla actually drives a Tesla. If they did they would notice the issues, get frustrated with them like all Tesla owners do, and escalate the issues to get them fixed in a timely manner.

It's broken on MCU2 also. Has been for a while..
