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

Aside from the fact that a '56 Chevy is stone-age compared to modern technology, how can you make a comparison? I thought most of the people who bemoaned electronics in cars have died off by now, or are too old to drive. Yeah, not everyone gets a UI right, but I much prefer the UI and systems in

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

And to point out what a geezer I am, my cars have (gasp) CD or cassette tape players. On long lonely drives in the midwest, I listen to audio books or old classics on them. -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James -- Lee A. Hart https://www.sunrise-ev.com

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

I guess I qualify as an old fart now too, but unless I really want to listen to NPR I either do streaming (free in my Tesla), or put music and audiobooks on a USB drive and the car plays that (Most cars built in the last 10 years can do this, and it's free!). Commercial radio is more advertising

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

The other option is to download stuff to your phone before going out. Works for podcasts and at least some Internet radio stations (like RadioParadise). Frankly I don’t hear much on FM I like other than NPR. I got a free limited subscription to Sirius when I bought my car - ran through the

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

Agreed. I only have a cheap pay-as-you-go phone ($99 a year). I only use it for calls or texts. If I used it like most people, I'd be paying $99 a month for all that "free" data. The AM and FM radio in my Leaf works just fine, and is free to use. Lee -- Excellence does not require perfection.

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

All you need is a phone hooked to bluetooth.  Most stations stream free on the world wide web. Otherwise a simple digital radio has  surprising fidelity and selectivity. Might have to shop around a bit to satisfy your taste in radio. Lawrence Rhodes  On Friday, April 19, 2024, 04:22:49 PM

I'm over here with a plunger and snake, clearing a clog out of the listserver. So this is what happened. Phil posted a very long message to the list, with a Tesla process list, and the listserver held it because of its size. Phil CCed Lawrence, and the replies went back and forth between

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

The tuner is made by Harman. FM radio does not need AGC in the way you describe, as long as the discriminator can lock the carrier it will always decode at the same output level the transmitter modulated it at originally. Read up on the basics of FM radio. If your output level is varying, yet

If the Owner's Manual can be believed, the brake pedal is not required. Have you tried that reboot without using the brake pedal? I did that a handful of times while driving in my early days of Tesla ownership. I haven't had to do it for two or more years. Cheers, Kevin > On Apr 17,

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

There is no easy solution here. Admittedly I almost always use streaming audio on my Tesla rather than FM, but when I have used it, I didn't have any issues. You might have a defective radio tuner. Worth replacing to see if it fixes your issue. Anything else you do will be sub-par. Here's a
