Your Tesla’s sound system is controlled by the touchscreen. To reset the sound system, you must also reboot the touchscreen device. Here’s how:

Soft Reset

  1. Park your car and ensure it is powered on.
  2. Press and hold both knobs on the steering wheel for about ten seconds.
  3. The touchscreen will go dark and take a few minutes to reboot.

Hard Reset

  1. Park your car and ensure it is powered on.
  2. Press and hold the brake with your foot.
  3. Simultaneously, press and hold both knobs on the steering wheel for about thirty seconds to a minute.
  4. The touchscreen will go dark and take a few minutes to reboot. This method briefly disconnects the system power from the car battery; you may lose some personal data.
