TuneIn, Podcasts, and login fail

Does anybody log into the TuneIn account from their car?

I typically use an app on my phone as a pod-catcher to download and organize my podcasts.

I was playing with TuneIn to do this instead, but I find that there is no search functionality from the car, so if you want a podcast that isn't one of their "top podcats", you can't get to it.

The workaround is to create your (free) TuneIn account from your computer, follow/subscribe to the podcats you want (from a interface where there IS search functionality), and then use that login from your car.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to actually log in from my car -- it won't acknowledge the username/password from the car.

Based on forum searches, this was a problem in the past in 2015, but all those threads died (presumably because the fix came out).

? Did it break again? Is anybody able to log in? Is anybody who was PREVIOUSLY able to log in, NOW UNABLE to log in?

Thanks in advance.
 
You're not alone.
I regularly log out and back in to refresh my favourite Tunein podcasts
I did this last week and suddenly I couldn't log back in again, and I had not changed my password.
Did a password reset made sure I could login to my iPhone app and in the web but the car refuses to play dice saying the password is wrong.
I was waiting until Monday to send an email to my local SD.
 
I had read *somewhere* that one cannot login to a free tunein account on the Tesla. Could that be what's going on? Anybody have a paid account they could test with?

My car (X) was picked up on Thursday, and is now getting wrapped, so I can't check with my free account.
