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
- Park your car and ensure it is powered on.
- Press and hold both knobs on the steering wheel for about ten seconds.
- The touchscreen will go dark and take a few minutes to reboot.
Hard Reset
- Park your car and ensure it is powered on.
- Press and hold the brake with your foot.
- Simultaneously, press and hold both knobs on the steering wheel for about thirty seconds to a minute.
- 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.
