Podcasts and audiobooks in a Tesla
With Frunk.tv you listen to podcasts and audiobooks from the car's screen, without touching your phone, and every episode resumes where you left it.
Podcasts
- Your country's most popular shows by topic (from the Apple Podcasts charts), and a search box for any
show.
Podcasts: the most popular, by topic, with the search box at the top. - Tap «+ Follow» on a show and it waits for you in the «★ Following» tab, with «▶ Continue» or
«▶ Latest episode».
A show: «▶ Latest episode», «+ Follow» and the list of episodes. The ✓ marks them as played. - Skip −15 and +30 seconds, and speed from 0.8× to 2×.
- Each episode remembers where you were, and the «Continue listening» row picks it up with one tap. On Home, the Podcasts and Audiobooks tiles, made bigger, also show what you are halfway through.
- Episodes can be marked as played.
- The sleep timer, the moon in the audio bar, turns the sound off after 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or at the end of the episode or chapter.
- Tap the artwork or the title in the audio bar and the episode shows full screen: Playing.
The charts and the search follow the car's country, which can be changed in «Language and country», at the bottom of Home. To hear Spain's, tap the flag button at the top of Podcasts and pick Spain: Podcasts keeps its own country, separately from Radio and Television.
Free audiobooks in your language
Public-domain classics read by LibriVox volunteers and hosted by the Internet Archive, in the language Frunk.tv is shown in (English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish): the most listened to, sorted by genre, with a shelf for kids, and a search box for books and authors. Chapters play one after another and every book remembers where you are.
News bulletins
In News there is the latest radio news bulletin of your country, like BBC Newscast in the UK, Morning Ireland in Ireland or NPR News Now in the US, to catch up while you drive.
While you drive
Like the radio, podcasts and audiobooks keep playing with the car out of Park: the car only blocks video.
