Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it again
later, simply touch
Disconnect on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you no longer want to use your phone with
Model S, touch Forget This Device. Once you forget a
device, you must pair it again if you want to use it with
Model S (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page 126).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects when you
leave
Model S.
NOTE: Unpairing the phone has no effect on using the
phone as a key. To forget an authenticated phone, see
Managing Keys on page 15.
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model S automatically connects to a phone that you
designated as
Priority Device on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you have not set a phone as a priority,
Model S
connects to the last phone to which is was connected, provided it is within operating range and has Bluetooth
turned on. If the last phone is not within range, it attempts to connect with the next phone that it has
been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the Bluetooth
icon at the top of the
Controls screen. The Bluetooth
settings screen displays a list of paired phones. Choose
the phone you want to connect to, then touch
Connect.
If the phone you want to connect to is not listed, you
must pair the phone. See
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 126.
When connected, the Bluetooth settings screen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to the phone

If you have defined a navigation address for your home
or work locations, you can use a voice command to navigate there by saying
"Navigate home" or "Take me
to work".
Contacts

Phone, Calendar, and Web Conferencing on
page 126), say:

Insert a flash drive into a front USB port (see USB Ports
on page 25). Touch Media Player > USB, and then touch
the name of the folder that contains the song you want to play. After you display the contents of a folder on the USB connected
flash drive, you can touch any song in
the list to play it. Or use the previous and next arrows in
Media Player to scroll through your songs. You can also
scroll to next/previous songs using the left scroll button on the
steering yoke (or steering wheel).
NOTE: To play media from a USB connection, Model S
recognizes flash drives only. To play media from other
types of devices (such as an iPod), you must connect the device using Bluetooth.
NOTE: Media Player supports USB flash drives with
exFAT formatting (NTFS is not currently supported).
NOTE: Use a USB port located at the front of the center
console. The USB connections at the rear of the console are for charging only.
Bluetooth Connected Devices
If you have a Bluetooth-capable device such as a phone that is paired and connected to
Model S (see Pairing a
Bluetooth Phone on page 126), you can play audio files

stored on it. Choose Media Player
