How to Play YouTube Music in Your Tesla

If you’re looking to enjoy YouTube Music in your Tesla, you’re not alone! While there isn’t a native app for YouTube Music on Tesla just yet, there are some great workarounds you can try. Here’s a quick guide:

Method 1: Bluetooth Streaming

  1. Connect your phone: Make sure your smartphone is paired with your Tesla via Bluetooth.
  2. Open YouTube Music: Launch the YouTube Music app on your phone.
  3. Play your music: Once connected, simply play your favorite tracks on your phone, and they will stream through your Tesla’s audio system.

Method 2: Using a Web Browser

  1. Access the Tesla browser: On your Tesla’s touchscreen, open the web browser.
  2. Go to YouTube Music: Navigate to music.youtube.com.
  3. Log in: Sign in with your Google account to access your playlists and library.
  4. Enjoy your tunes: You can now stream music directly from the browser, though performance may vary.

Method 3: Third-Party Apps

There are third-party apps that can help you cast YouTube Music to your Tesla. For instance, some users have found success with apps that enable screen mirroring or casting.

Keep in mind that these methods are currently the best options available, so be sure to check for updates from Tesla about potential native app support in the future. Happy listening!

What specific errors should I be looking out for? Also, will I need a premium YouTube Music account to access all features?

You don’t necessarily need a premium account, but keep in mind that ads will interrupt your listening if you don’t have one. As for errors, watch for any messages indicating failed connections.

Does the app support voice commands? That would make using it while driving much safer.

Yes, you can use voice commands with your Tesla to control music playback! Just say ‘Play my road trip playlist on YouTube Music’ for hands-free operation.

Awesome! So convenient! By the way, can I use the app while my car is parked?

Absolutely! You can enjoy YouTube Music while parked without any issues. Just keep your Tesla in park mode and enjoy the tunes.

Is there any way to download songs for offline listening within the app? I’d love that feature!

I love the offline playback option! It lets you save your favorite songs for those times when you’re in areas without signal.

True! Offline playback is a lifesaver on road trips. How many songs can you store at once?

You can save a decent number, around 100 songs! That should cover a variety of moods during a trip.
