Tesla cars consider introducing Apple AirPlay to improve its speaker systems

Elon Musk said recently that Tesla is considering making its electric cars compatible with the Apple AirPlay protocol to improve the interior of the car. Audio playback quality.

Tesla’s in-car audio system has also been the focus of feature improvements in recent years. Both the Model 3 and the new Model S have sound systems that have been well-received by car enthusiasts. Some fans even believe that Tesla’s in-car audio is comparable to the Danish Bang & Olufsen system used in luxury cars.

When one commenter tweeted the comparison, Musk commented: “Tesla’s sound engineers are from B&O and a lot of other companies. They’re really great. Our system is highly programmable, so will go through OTA and is constantly being updated.”

Other Twitter users also endorsed Tesla’s in-car audio system. Talking about the direction of improvement, one user felt that the quality of the audio delivered by the Tesla sound system via Bluetooth could be improved, which is evident when passengers play music on their phones.

They suggest that Teslas are compatible with Apple AirPlay for lossless streaming. Musk said in a tweet that a solution will be discussed with the audio team, “will be discussing this and other ways to improve with Tesla Audio Engineering. The new S and X sound systems are incredible.”

AirPlay is a proprietary wireless communication protocol stack developed by Apple that allows lossless streaming between devices. The AirPlay protocol uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. Since Tesla EVs are equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities, this is not difficult to achieve.

However, Tesla vehicles are not compatible with Apple software. Tesla users have been asking for Apple CarPlay compatibility for their electric cars for years, and Tesla has discussed the possibility of Apple CarPlay compatibility, but ultimately settled on its own software ecosystem.
