Display DAB+ Album Artwork
Summary
Display the album cover of the song playing on DAB+ radio, just like in other cars across Europe.
How It Would Work
Add support for DAB+ Slideshow to Tesla’s built-in radio player, allowing it to display album covers and other images transmitted by the radio station alongside the station name, artist and track title.
This feature would apply to Europe and other markets where Tesla vehicles receive DAB+ digital radio.
When a station broadcasts an image through DAB+ Slideshow, the player would display it in the artwork area and update it as new images arrive. When no image is available, the station logo would remain as the fallback.
Tesla’s built-in TuneIn app already displays album artwork. DAB+ listeners would benefit from a similar presentation, with images received directly from the radio broadcast, without an internet connection or mobile data.
On my Model 3 Highland in Italy, the DAB+ player shows the station logo but does not display the album artwork broadcast by the station. The attached comparison shows the same station and track on a Tesla and another car. The other car displays the broadcast album artwork, while Tesla displays only the station logo. The photos were taken at different times.
Many other cars already offer this feature. Adding it would make Tesla’s DAB+ radio experience more informative and visually engaging.

The top three requests at the end of the month will be shared with Tesla.
