Integrate Deezer on Tesla


Make Deezer available to work through the Tesla infotainment system? Spotify now is integrated Deezer should partner with Tesla, they are currently in the top 5 richest car companies and rising quickly

Needs an update from @Rudi on progress here. Love Deezer but if it's not gonna work right in the car, I can't keep it. Other options are just as good AND work flawlessly in the tesla


Any news on this subject? It's is becoming verry annoying.that I need to subscribe to two services.


Status is not for now, is there any planning about when it will be implemented?


hello @nathan46 , @Freek , and @asi 

I can certainly empathize with the Tesla owners (although not one myself), and also understand just how many of you there are, and how many more will be in the future. It seems as though this would be a desirable market to tap into.

That said, I think we all understand the nature of Tesla, and its self-sufficiency, and I have to wonder, purely out of speculation, if this is something on their side, as with CarPlay.

Tests have shown the streaming bitrate for the Tesla in-car Spotify app to be variable, averaging around 128 to 160kbps, not exactly the quality deezer is shooting for. 

Tidal is similarly nerfed when streaming over cellular, dropping to a lossy stream. Again, as I don’t have a Tesla, I can’t speak to the quality of either service in the car.

When I read about it online, it seems as if many people use bluetooth in their Teslas, because they aren’t happy with the native Tesla apps. In the absence of CarPlay, or a native app that supports hifi, that's probably the route I would go as well, and just stream deezer from my phone.

 

anyway, @Rudi is long gone, he is no longer a part of the deezer team. Maybe one of the current Community Managers will chime in. Thanks for the chat.


We need a native Deezer app for Tesla, come on guys!

 

I am planning to see if I can access the Tesla SDK once my current contract comes to an end. I wonder how had an web app would be?


sorry to have to leave deezer for spotify but the new Tesla is there and I am not paying for 2 subscriptions

lossy stream?

firstly: have you heard of buffering

and

secondly: some great new audio freely available codecs that improve data loss on unreliable networks? 

 

Both Apple Music and Spotify (even the free version) run well without any loss and the sound quality is great, especially the Apple one. 

 


Hey @paul.johnson 

Thank you for your support. We're keen to develop more integrations, including this one, but it isn't on the cards for now.

This may change if we gather more votes on this idea :relaxed:

 

Hi @Rudi 

how many votes do you neeed? I’ven a Deezer user since 2017 with a family plan. If there’s no interest in fixing issues with the lg soundbars w/chromecast support and now with no plans for make an app for Tesla, I think it’s time to say goodbye and keep only Apple Music.

I hope you can change your mind and make an app for Tesla, believe you won’t regret it.

apologize for the necropost, I am just now seeing this, but it gave me such a chuckle that I had to respond.

you sound massively unfamiliar with the basic concepts of audio streaming, and I have neither the energy nor the inclination to educate you, but do yourself a favor and at least familiarize yourself with the idea of lossless vs. lossy audio before you attempt to (rudely) school someone online.

cheers

hey @CrisCD 

Rudi hasn’t been with deezer for years now and, based on what I’ve seen and heard, it doesn’t appear that plans are underway for a deezer integration anytime soon. (I could absolutely be incorrect here, maybe one of the current Community Managers will weigh in).

I responded above as to why I don’t think that matters, but I’m not a Tesla owner and everyone’s needs are different. 

Best of luck with whatever you decide.
