Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

[Daytonaviolet]

That’s why then. S didn’t get it until 8.7.

I’m stuck at 8.4 too so far

Okay ..

Only White, Black, Grey and Blue MS cars are getting 2024.8.7 and UWB at this time…Must be…since mine is 2023 ultra red MSP and I’m stuck on 2024.8.4 and waiting….waiting….

“In the Tesla App” is this the phone app or in the car? My iPhone 15 doesn’t have a “phone key option” in the Tesla app. I couldn’t find it on the car. I deleted my current Iphone key and re paired it, nothing changed in the options. Guess I don’t have it on my “22 Plaid X?
I DID get the notice in the update as above for 2024.2.3 for ultrawide band phone key.

I got a ‘23 ultra red and got it. I’m on 2024.8.7. My 2020 model 3 (which my daughter drives) just got 2024.3.10 yesterday, which has the full self driving trial. I need to ask her if she got the wideband key- not sure if her hardware supports it.

You Have a 2023 MS, correct?

If it shows up in the release notes on the right software, it’s capable. As far as I’m aware, they never had non UWB receivers for this car and even the S/X key fobs have been uwb capable from day 1

The older S isn’t even Bluetooth.

I mean refresh S/X.

Yes it's game changer. Previously had an 85% chance of doors unlocking when approaching. So far since install on Thurs/Fri it's been 100%.

Seems like they’re opening sooner as well

Almost a little too soon now I feel like

Its a welcome change for me. I’m a young spry guy and i move quick. I don’t like waiting around for my handle to pop out or not at all.

Holy smoke, this is so much better now. Literally works perfectly 100% of the time now, was probably like 80% before.

I just checked my “nearby interactions” on my phone and it now shows Tesla and I noticed this afternoon that my driver’s door opened quicker and without the need to take my phone from my pocket and wake up the phone. So, I guess it works on the “22 Plaid X!

I have the same wheel covers. Solid choice.

Still waiting on 2024.8.7 for our 2024 MSP. Our 2022 MYP got the FSD trial update last Saturday but nada for the newer car…

 

[Usher]

I'm also stuck on 2024.8.4 and impatiently waiting for 2024.8.7. I was on the fence for upgrading to a new phone and used the new UWB key functionality as justification to myself to buy the new phone earlier this week.

Trust me UWB is even more impressive then Adaptive Matrix on MSP. Previously Bluetooth refused to work when I needed it most. Now it works like a charm every single time

My slightly educated guess is that there is specific, custom code needed to support the various UWB chipsets. Tesla may have had to use different suppliers and/or versions of those chipsets so what works for one car may not work for another.

The Bluetooth key on the MSP and MYP work pretty well for us. The only time I have problems is when I have my iPhone in my back pocket and my body apparently blocks the signal.

Finally got 2024.8.7 and can confirm I have UWB on my S now
