Thank you so much for the step by step guidance on formatting the usb drive. I tried doing this for my 2023 Tesla Y and it worked for Music, but not for Dashcam. Later just changed the Teslacam partition to ExFAT and now both work perfectly fine
Thank you for taking the time to create this video. nearly 2 years later, I had to reformat my SD card (I went with SanDisk High Endurance 128GB SD card...supposed to have a higher re-write/overwrite lifespan) Cheers!
Very good I don’t think it was too long, Just the right amount of time for the great information. Only thing I had trouble with was naming the folders, they had to be in all caps or it would only make a file T and M. Thanks
Hey Terry. I did this, and it totally worked... but then my car updated to 2019.40.50.7 and I not only no longer see a USB music option, but I also do not see the little red light saying that my dashcam or sentry mode is working. Can someone confirm that this method still works with the current software build?
Good Video. Told us everything we needed to know. One recommendation, it could be a lot shorter. Thanks for helping getting this to work - I had thought I needed to download third party software to format my USB as Fat32 and you clearly explained how to do it with Disk Utility. I appreciate your help!
Better yet you can create multiple folders in the Music partition and put different genres or what ever way you want to classify your songs into the folders. The names of the folders will show up on your Tesla screen, just select the one you want and the songs in that folder will be listed.
Followed your instructions and added music from USB drive, dash cam works great-however I’m not sure how to play music that I just loaded today. I can play tracks when USB attached to MAC…only
Great info, definitely break it down, thanks! I went with your recommendation with that same flash drive (I too have an iPhone and wanted that extra feature) I have it formatted Fat342 with Guid Partition Map and my Model 3 still stating unable to read please reformat... I've tried everything (other than trying to buy another drive although this is brand new)... please help!
Thanks Terry. I could t get my centre console usb ports to stream music so partitioned the main glove box usb and can now play my music. Seems like Tesla have removed the streaming module from the centre console ports
Hey Terry! This worked for me, but after the latest update, I no longer think it is working. I have no idea how to access my USB music and I do not see the symbol that shows my dashcam / sentry mode is available.
Question for all who have done this formatting: I created my flash drive as instructed and mostly works ok. However, at certain points during listening, music stops playing and re-appears several seconds later in tempo like the music just dropped out.
I was all in following well until creating the TeslaCam new folder. Will you please let me know where I need to create this folder on my MAC. In Utilities?
Do you know if we can combine music and the LightShow folder on the same partition and or single drive? If not maybe we need 3 partitions. TeslaCam, LightShow, MP3/WAV music
@@TerryLeeWhite what about boombox. Does that mean 4 partitions are needed? Or can we combine boombox with any of the other three talked about previously here.
@@TerryLeeWhite Now that it’s all clear, I think I’d rather have 1 physical drive for TeslaCam and then 3 partitions on a second physical drive for everything else. 4-port usb hub. Drive, Drive, game controller 1 and 2
I have this exact SanDisk drive model and I was able to format it and get it working on my Tesla Model 3. I used a Chromebook to format it. Couldn't get it to work when I formatted it FAT32 on Windows, do not know why. However, I get messages from the car saying it isn't working and I have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to work again. A short time later it will stop working again. So I can't recommend this drive.
This is so helpful. Thanks. I have a question about sandisk ixpand usb flash drive. After making two partitions in ixpand, my iPhone 11 can't read ixpand usb flash drive. Through the app named 'ixpand drive' it should be open but it's not. Before splitting the space of ixpand, the connection between iPhone 11 and ixpand was good. Your way is only for normal usb flash drives? not for ixpand?

New to Tesla in Uk, thank you so much, for making it easy to understand.

Thanks Terry,
For some time I was struggling to partition my samsung T7 , with your help I succeeded
Wow, that was clear and concise. Thanks.
Terry--Terrific job walking me through the process. I know I would have messed this up without your clear step-by-step explanation. Thanks!
thanks, you explained something that was never explained in the other popular videos. thanks again
You explain very well. Really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Terry, thank you so much!! I’ve been looking so many videos but they couldn’t help since I couldn’t figure out how to get to the partition part.
Thank you Terry - you made it wonderfully clear .... I was completely baffled how to do it since the Partition Option wasn't showing!
Great video Terry very detailed. Much appreciated bro!
New Tesla and this was just what I was looking for. Thanks, Terry.

What music format files work for Tesla? MP3....
Hey Terry! This worked for me, but after the latest update, I no longer think it is working. I have no idea how to access my USB music and I do not see the symbol that shows my dashcam / sentry mode is available.
I did everything, but at the end I'm not able to create a new folder in the TESLACAM directory - the option is grayed out...help!
Question for all who have done this formatting: I created my flash drive as instructed and mostly works ok. However, at certain points during listening, music stops playing and re-appears several seconds later in tempo like the music just dropped out.
I was all in following well until creating the TeslaCam new folder. Will you please let me know where I need to create this folder on my MAC. In Utilities?
You create it on the freshly formatted thumb drive.
👍👍👍
Can you play m4p files on a Tesla?

@@TerryLeeWhite My plan using one usb for both sentry mode and music failed. ㅠㅠ Thanks.
What's the partition tool for Win 10?
2024: Use ExFat format for larger USB Drives.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
awesome! really helpful. thank you.
