V9 IOS app

[WARP 10]

The 3.6 version of the Tesla iPhone app has none of the new features for me (media, software update management, etc.). Looks just the same as the previous version. Tried deleting and reloading the app - no change.
Yes, our model S is at Version 2018.39.6 (Version 9). Anyone?

Same deal here. At least you have company.

Crickets... Can someone please advise us?

Have you enabled Media control in your car? You need to do this to have the media controls show in the app.

Media Settings > Allow Mobile Control.

Yes, already done on both S and 3

These features are not directly on the Tesla app, but your phone and your S are now linked.

on the S: Allow Mobile Control
on your iPhone;
connect via bluetooth
allow sharing
play an iTunes song
touch the red circle at the bottom
touch "Tesla Model S"

song plays on the S

Same with Google Maps - just share your route to the S

might be more apps that share, still learning

Assuming 39.6 was your first V9 you will have to wait for your next update to use it for updates...i.e you need version 9 first. For media control it has to be enabled and you need to be in the car.

 

[charliepmayer]

no

 

[obie_fl]

no?

The OP was asking about the Tesla app media and software update management, both are in the app. The app also allows sharing as you described above.

Turns out in my case, everything seems to work when I'm in the car. Trying to think of another app where all of the options don't show up (media) unless you are in a specific location. Also, don't know where it is that you find 'media setting' on the center screen controls. Can't find it in the 'Controls' menu. Didn't need it, though, once the 'Media' option appeared on my phone when in the car.

I think it only shows up in the car because it is Bluetooth and has too connect to the car.

That's what I figured too. Don't know they couldn't have it on the menu and then throw an error message if it wasn't in range of bluetooth.

That makes sense though I don't think Tesla did a great job explaining that fact.

I notice my iPhone Tesla app has to be pointed at the car I want to share the Google route with since I have two Teslas.

That's only because you are a genius.

My wife would argue otherwise.
