The issue I have is that I live in a very rural area where cell reception is spotty at best. I am so dissapointed that Tesla did not include the hardware in the MY/3. In an ideal world eveyone would be able to stream no matter location but that's not the reality. Does anyone have suggestions for easy to install receivers? Thanks!No, currently only the Model S, X have a SiriusXM satellite radio receiver built in. Some choose to install a SiriusXM receiver in their Model 3, Model Y. Another option is to use Amazon's Alexa app. There is an Alexa skill for SiriusXM. Once enabled you would speak "Alexa, play Classic Rock on SiriusXM". For a fully hands free Alexa experience while driving using your phone you would need to install the Amazon Echo Auto device ($49.99 but frequently the Echo Auto device is on sale for $24.99 (like right now!) When you stream audio using the Alexa app your phone's data plan, rates would apply. When your phone is connected to the Tesla via Bluetooth the audio program will play through the Tesla's audio system when the phone is selected as the streaming source.
And totally useless with no signal. And fiddle/dangerous for changing channelsBeen streaming it via BT since day one. Works and sounds as good if not better than the built in equipment on my last few cars that had factory XM.
Um, not without a cell signal unless Alexa for Autos or the Alexa app has a ton of special memory and processing power. So yes to being able to download programs, but no to using Alexa where there's no cell service, making the downloaded content only available by futzing with the phone.You can download selected SirusXM programs to your phone and listen in places where there is no cell service.
The Amazon Alexa app is designed for hands free listening.
My posting was intended for two different use cases, did not consider both at the same time. In the first scenario you could download selected programs from SiriusXM to your phone, for listening on airplanes or other situations where you don't have cell service available. In the second scenario you are able to use voice commands with the Alexa app so you don't have to handle your phone while driving. (This works best when you have the Echo Auto microphone array inside the vehicle and the Alexa app is set to Auto Mode for use while driving.)Um, not without a cell signal unless Alexa for Autos or the Alexa app has a ton of special memory and processing power.

Totally agree. I think the Apple Music situation is due to lack of partnership with Elon and Tim Cook. Although being primarily on Apple Music I would love it in lieu of having to do Bluetooth and Siri for changing songs.It would be great if Tesla allowed other streaming services like Apple and SXM. This would not require additional hardware and would encourage premium internet.
I can't figure out how to get my phones audio to play thru the Tesla.. I have an androidBeen streaming it via BT since day one. Works and sounds as good if not better than the built in equipment on my last few cars that had factory XM.
1. Make sure your phone is connected to the Tesla in your Bluetooth settings.I can't figure out how to get my phones audio to play thru the Tesla.. I have an android
If bt is used, how do you take calls on your phone? One BT connection for the car.The free radio connects via an (unused) FM station you have to connect. They have a bluetooth dock that you can also use to connect.
Bluetooth SiriusXM Satellite Radio Vehicle Dock SXBTD1V1
SXBTD1V1 is the only SiriusXM Radio Bluetooth Vehicle Dock for Gen 2 Satellite Radio Portable Receivers. It works with the onyX line of receivers including the onyX, onyX EZ, onyX EZR and onyX Plus.www.xm-radio-satellite.com
I lease my vehicles (company cars). Last four had XM. I would use the free 90 day trail that came with the car, then allow it to expire. They call. Offer a promo deal. I take it but make sure it's not on renewal. Two months before it expires call in and say you won't be renewing the contract. They'll give another promo deal. I forgot what I was paying, but it was around $150-$175/year versus the normal $30-40/month.(Thread drift: NEVER pay full price for Sirius/XM. I just updated my account, currently have Premium package for one car (2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid) and one mobile app for my phone [for the Tesla]. Was quoted $30/month (??????), quickly negotiated down to $10/month)
Didn't think about that. Maybe the FM solution is better. Thanks for pointing that out.If bt is used, how do you take calls on your phone? One BT connection for the car.
