Thanks for the info, but I'm unable to do either.
For Slacker, my car seems have been set by the factory/delivery center with a username and password; the password isn't visible...is it the same for everyone with a factory login, and could you or someone share it please?
For TuneIn, I was able to create a web accout, but when I tried to login to the car (and tried again today, a day later), I got a message to the effect "Could not log in. Please check email/password".
Msnow or anyone, any help will be appreciated.
If you get the ID/PW from Tesla and log in to the website you can set Slacker to 320 BPS.
If you use your own free TuneIn account and log in to their site you have a choice of normal or high. Not sure what BPS is associated with high but the sound is good. You have to be logged in using these same ID's in your car for this to sync over.
I've understand that Slacker is 128 or 160 kbps but can't find info for TuneIn in the MS.
It's configurable, see screenshots from my iPhone. The settings follow the profile you're logged in with on any device or browser including the Tesla app. I have no way to confirm the bitrate in the car but I know favorite stations saved in the app show up in the car and the sound is very good.TuneIn is a real-time streamer. The bit rate is controlled by the site hosting the stream.

If that were the case it would apply to Slacker and any other streaming service as well. I'll do a test this week to see if there's any noticeable difference and report back. It seems to me the end user is paying the data rate so it would make sense that it's more than a request particularly since it would be cost prohibitive for the provider to provide multiple streams at varying data rates (if that's what your saying).That is simply a request. If a site provides more than stream, the client can "prefer" one over another. But the source totally controls the availabilty of the offered bandwidth of the stream

Slacker advertises itself as a "premier streaming service". In the paid version of TuneIn you can pause and restart too but I have the free version so have never tried it.Slacker is not a streaming service. It is download a file and play it paradigm. That is why a paused slacker selection will stop when you get out of the car, and restart (roughly) where you left off when returning.
As I remember from one of the subforums here it allows the bandwidth for high to go to 160 KBPS. Here's a screenshot of my Slacker settings logged in with my Tesla ID which shows I was able to select 320 KBPS. It sounds awesome IMHO. Much better and more bandwidth than XM.What does setting the audio quality to "high" do via the music app settings?
