Tesla Model X: Media
The Media Player displays on the touchscreen and is
used to play various types of media. You can drag Media
Player upward to expand it (allowing you to browse),
and downward to minimize it so that just the Miniplayer
displays. The convenient Miniplayer, which occupies the
least amount of space on the touchscreen, displays
what's currently playing and provides only the basic
functions associated with what's playing. You can also
drag Media Player to display on the left or right side of
the touchscreen.
Media Player displays content and options associated
with the app (or source) you choose from the app
launcher, or from the dropdown list that displays when
you maximize Media Player: NOTE: Media apps vary depending on market region. Some apps
described may not be available in your market region, or may be replaced by
different ones. NOTE: You can show or hide any media app/source. See Media
Settings. When listening to internet radio or a music streaming
service, the options available on the Media Player screen
vary depending on what you are listening to. Touch the
next (or previous) arrows to play the next (and in some
cases previous) available station, episode, or track. You
can also play next/previous using the left scroll button
on the steering yoke.
Streaming services are available only when a data
connection is available (for example, Wi-Fi or Premium
Connectivity). For some media services, you can use a
default Tesla account. For others, you may need to enter
account credentials the first time you use it. NOTE: Instead of launching a different media app, you
can change the source from within the Media Player
screen by choosing a source from the dropdown list on
the left side. NOTE: You can use voice commands to adjust media
settings and preferences, such as volume control,
playing certain songs, or switching the media source
(see Voice Commands). Roll the scroll button on the left side of the steering
yoke up or down to increase or decrease volume
respectively. The scroll button adjusts the volume for
media, voice commands, and phone calls. NOTE: Your Model X automatically adjusts the volume
based on driving speed and climate settings. You can also adjust the volume by touching the arrows
associated with the speaker icon on the bottom corner
of the touchscreen.
To mute the volume, press the left scroll button. Press
again to unmute. NOTE: Pressing the left scroll button during a phone call
mutes both the sound and your microphone. NOTE: If you're playing media and you receive a phone
call, or the navigation system is speaking directions, the
volume of what you are listening to is temporarily
muted. Media Settings NOTE: The settings available vary depending on market
region. Also, a setting may not be applicable to all audio
sources.
You can adjust these settings: Searching Audio Content SiriusXM Satellite Radio (if
equipped) If equipped, you can listen to SiriusXM, a subscription-
based satellite radio service. To receive satellite radio
channels, you must provide the radio service provider
with the radio ID for your touchscreen.
To display the radio ID: 1. Touch the radio source icon, then select SiriusXM
from the list.
2. Move the channel selector to channel 0.
3. The Radio ID displays in the station information area.
To select a SiriusXM channel, you can either manually
scroll through channel numbers, or you can browse
channels by category. For most source content, recents and favorites display at
the top for easy access. NOTE: Selections you play on FM radio are not included
in the Recents list. Playing Media from Devices You can play audio files from a Bluetooth-connected
device (like a phone) or a USB-connected flash drive.
When you connect a Bluetooth or USB device, Media
Player includes the device as a media source. USB Connected Flash Drives Insert a flash drive into a front USB port (see USB Ports). Touch Media Player > USB, and then touch
the name of the folder that contains the song you want
to play. After you display the contents of a folder on the
USB connected flash drive, you can touch any song in
the list to play it. Or use the previous and next arrows in
Media Player to scroll through your songs. You can also
scroll to next/previous songs using the left scroll button
on the steering yoke. NOTE: To play media from a USB connection, Model X
recognizes flash drives only. To play media from other
types of devices (such as an iPod), you must connect
the device using Bluetooth. NOTE: Media Player supports USB flash drives with exFAT formatting (NTFS is not currently supported). NOTE: Use a USB port located at the front of the center
console. The USB connections at the rear of the console
are for charging only. Bluetooth Connected Devices If you have a Bluetooth-capable device such as a phone
that is paired and connected to Model X (see Pairing a
Bluetooth Phone), you can play audio files
stored on it. Choose Media Player's Phone source, touch
the name of your Bluetooth-connected device, then
touch CONNECT. Your Bluetooth device begins playing the audio file that
is currently active on your device. If no audio file is
playing, use your device to choose the audio file you
want to listen to. When the chosen file begins to play,
you can then use Media Player's next and previous icons
(or use the left scroll button on the steering yoke) to
play other tracks. NOTE: To play media from a Bluetooth-connected
device, ensure that access to the device's media is
turned on (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone).Overview
