USB Ports
Two USB ports are located in the front compartment of the center console. These can be used to charge USB devices and to play audio files from a phone or
USB device (see Playing Media from
Devices on page 168)
To access the front USB ports, open the front compartment of the center console. The front USB ports are located on the rear wall of the
compartment:
NOTE: Power is available whenever the
vehicle is considered "awake". The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when using features
such as Summon, or when features such as Preconditioning, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, Camp Mode, Sentry Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is
also awake whenever the 12V battery is being charged or is in use, during HV charging, when the vehicle is communicating with the
mobile app, etc.
Leaving an accessory
plugged in does not deplete the 12V battery.
NOTE: Use USB 3.0 compliant cables to connect a device to a USB port. Using non- compliant cables can result in slower charging, potential
connection problems or
degraded performance.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple devices using a USB hub. This can prevent connected
devices from charging or from being
recognized by Media
Player, Sentry Mode,
Dashcam, etc.
USB Connected Flash Drives
Connect a flash drive to a front USB
connection (see ). 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 Miniplayer to scroll
through your songs.
NOTE: To play media from a USB connection, Model X recognizes flash drives only. You can play media from other types of devices (such as an iPod) by
connecting the device using
Bluetooth.
NOTE: Media Player supports USB flash drives with FAT32 formatting (NTFS and exFAT are
not currently supported).
NOTE: Use a USB connection 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 #unique_384 on page ),
you can play audio files stored on it and you can stream music from it. Choose Media Player's Phone source, then touch the name of your
Bluetooth-connected device, and then
touch CONNECT.
Your Bluetooth device begins playing the audio file that is currently active on your device, and Media Player displays the Miniplayer view. If no
audio file is playing on your device, use your device to choose the audio file you want to listen to. When the chosen file begins to play, you can then
use Miniplayer's next and previous icons 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 #unique_384
on page ).
