A little background: In my old car I had a Pioneer app radio 3. I had my Android phone connected to it via Bluetooth for phone calls and I had an iOS device connected to it for streaming audio. Since they use different bluetooth profiles this worked like a charm. Fast forward a little and I get my Tesla and only ever setup my Android phone since I was using Slacker for streaming audio.
In the meantime I've become disillusioned with Slacker and the limitations they put on their system (no way to add specific songs to station seeds you can only add artists, and a general lack of the type of music I want to hear in their library). I sent an email to ownership and they responded that my best bet would be to use bluetooth streaming to work around that issue (since Pandora allows this, and Spotify has a lot of good choices as well). Sadly I discovered that my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 doesn't send bluetooth track data from pandora or spotify it only sends from google music. I figured well I've done this before I'll setup an iOS device to do the streaming audio and just use the Android phone for calls. Here's where I hit the snag.
It appears that the Tesla can only be connected to one device at a time. While the Note 3 was connected I went into settings (on the phone) and told it not to use the media profile when connected to the Tesla. The media selector went grey on the Tesla's screen but the phone was still active. I then added the iOS device and it came up as phone and media (odd since there's no phone in it). I told the car not to use phone on it. I then noticed that the Note 3 wasn't connected. Just figured since the iOS device had connected as phone initially I just needed to reconnect. I told the car to connect the Note 3 and the iOS device disconnected, odd. I then told it to connect the iOS device and the Note 3 disconnected, what? This should work as the $300 head unit in my old car worked perfectly in this situation.
I've sent an email to ownership and the local service center asking about this. I haven't tried this before getting 5.9 so that may be the culprit?
Has anyone else tried this?
