Overview
Touch the Media icon to listen to the radio or
play audio files. The touchscreen displays the
Media Player. Media Player has two tabs. Use
the Browse tab to select what you want to
play and use the Now Playing tab to view and
control what is currently playing. You can play
AM, FM radio (including HD), and XM satellite
radio (if Model S is equipped with the optional
sound package). You can also play Internet
radio, and audio files from a Bluetooth-
connected device or a USB-connected flash
drive.
XM Radio
If Model S is equipped with the optional sound
studio package, you can listen to XM radio, a
subscription-based satellite radio service. To
receive XM radio channels, you must provide
the radio service provider with the radio ID for
your touchscreen.
To view the radio ID:
1.
Select the XM radio source.
2. Tune it to channel 0.
3. The Radio ID displays in the station
information area.
To select an XM radio channel, you can either
manually scroll through the channel numbers,
or you can browse the channels by category.
To browse by category, touch Browse >
Radio > XM Satellite Radio.
Internet Radio
Internet radio services are accessed over a
data connection. To use Internet radio, touch
Media > Browse > Internet.
Choose your desired Internet radio service
(for example, TuneIn or Slacker), then browse
through the available categories and/or
stations. When you select a specific station or
episode, Media Player starts playing it and
displays the Now Playing screen.
To play the next (and in some cases previous)
available station, episode, or track being
provided by the Internet radio service, touch
the arrows on the Now Playing screen, or use
the left steering wheel (see
Using Left
Steering Wheel Buttons
on page 36). The
exact function of these controls vary
depending on the specific Internet service you
are listening to.
You can also use voice commands to play a
specific song, artist, or album from an Internet
radio service. For details, see
Using Voice
Commands
on page 37.
