Blackberry as key for Model3?

[Musicman21]

Decided to distance from social media and my iphone in general for a bit. Bought a BB Q20 (Classic). Still the email king.

It can run some android apps now but obviously the Tesla App isnt in the play store...

Could it be possible to run the Tesla app on BB10? is there a tweak anyone knows to the android settings where this could possibly work?

Does anyone currently doing this have a reputable .apk to download for the Tesla android app?

I picked up my Model 3 when I was using BB back in 2017. I sideloaded some apps, but M3 key wasn't available. Perhaps using it to remote start the car would work. I often carry two phones and also carried an iPhone in 2017, so used that as my key.

OP must work for BlackBerry.

It is possible to use an iPhone without social networking apps.

Blackberry is still in business?

Hey guys, I decided to distance myself from social media, so I've swapped my iPhone for a Motorola Razor from 2002. It's awesome! I can take photos, but can't do anything with them! But, how do I unlock my car with it?

It doubles as a slim jim

doesnt make any sense to me. you could also just not use these apps on your smartphone. nevermind that the bb browser also has access to bookface and what not.

one way around is to use teslafi and operate the car via the web interface.

let me rephrase the question: is it possible to use my dumbphone as a key for my Tesla?

The only key apps I know of are the ones in the iOS AppStore and Google Play store. If you can’t load one of those, I think you are out of luck.

You can get creative with the RFID tag in the Tesla card. You can melt down the card (they are cheap) and put it in anything, including a cheap blackberry case. They also mold them into rings, available on eBay. You just won’t have walk away lock, but it wouldn’t be hard to swipe as you leave. Oh, and you can always get a traditional key fob.

like i wrote, it would be possible via teslafi.
Though why not get a keyfob?

BB Key2 works just fine, though it runs on Android. Physical keyboard, Android AND BB email. All that for just a few hundred $. If only it were a 5g phone.

Unfortunately not aware of anything that works with Blackberry...but you could try something slightly more sophisticated like a diesel generator or a sundial. Both are a bit more reliable and the generator is probably easier to carry around.

If you glue a key-card to the back of your Nokia it will definitely unlock your model 3.

I thought they were a services-only company these days.

in emergency, use this to break glass

You do you but I have to honestly say this is a waste of time when the smartphone apps work with no headache.

 

[Musicman21]

wow. that's all I have to say.

Giving up an iPhone to go use a Blackberry is like giving up a personal chef to go eat MREs.
