Re: [EVDL] Adding a FM radio to a Tesla.

[Luke Scharf via EV]

A device like this is what was suggested:
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-LAICOMEIN-Headphones/dp/B0BDF8S8H4/

Combine it with something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/ZHIWHIS-Portable-Transistor-Conference-Batteries/dp/B08JCNMJKF

Plug it all together, pair it with the car (the car will act as a Bluetooth
speaker) and you've got a portable system that meets your stated
requirements.

A high quality antenna and FM receiver might make it better.

There may be an integrated unit that does all of this, but it's hard to
search for because there are so many bluetooth receivers that then transmit
a low-power FM signal.  I have seen some HAM radio transceivers which can
play on a Bluetooth speaker. and I own one that has an FM receiver --maybe
there's one which has both?

Re: [EVDL] Adding a FM radio to a Tesla.

It works that way because when you plug in a USB device it sends some data that 
tells the host what type of device you 
have.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Device_classes
Most likely your phone identified as a hard drive (mass storage device) or a 
media device (MTP)  and it started playing whatever it could find that looked 
likemusic.

 I was surprised when I plugged my phone into my 2011 Leaf USB port to
charge and it automatically started playing the music stored on my phone.
