Over the past 2 updates, my iPhone is no longer opening my model Y, when I approach the car. makes me use by Tesla card to unlock car/start the car. How have others addressed? Does reinstalling the Tesla App work? or something else? Re-pair my iPhone with my MY? Curious if others have similar issues?
Here's what they made me do at the SC. Delete the phone key from the car Delete the bluetooth device from the car Delete the mobile app from the phone Download and install the mobile app on the phone Sign in to Tesla Account using the mobile app Create new phone key Pair new bluetooth device Seems to have worked for me, but don't know for how long though. Hope that helps...
Have you tried turning off the bluetooth stack in your phone, waiting say 5 sec and turning it back on? Or rebooting your phone. Could be out of sync with the security handshakes, needs to be reset. I have had similar type of bluetooth related issues with other non-Tesla gear lately, and that fixed it. Worth a shot.
Kashian - I will be trying the delete/re-pair with my iPhone process. I've restarted my iPhone/Bluetooth a few different ways but didn't work. Thanks!
Sometimes when I don't launch the app on my iphone I can get inside, but it won't allow me to start my car or switch gears. It shows a giant green circle and some text. I need to launch the app from my iphone then I can switch gears to drive. This happened before the 35.5 firmware update as well.
I just now realized that I didn't have these issues (only the first 5-6 days of ownership) prior to the past 2 updates. Hope Tesla fixes this. It's a royal pain.
I'm going to try what kashian recommended above. I've had my Y since June and only recently has this started occurring for me. Thanks for the recommendation kashian....
Tried Kashian’s fix and did not work. Drove to get takeout after I applied the fix. Parked, got my food, unlocked frunk with the app, put my food in, shut the frunk and went to open my door only to be denied.
happened to me as well I just switched BT on and off. started working again. now that I posted this, it prolly won't work again...
I made a service appointment via the app and the next day I received a message in the app asking for additional detail (times and events) because the logs in the y are massive (no surprise). I called and was able to give exact time because my iPad had a notification when my phone was removed as a key. The next day I provided information exactly when the phone key did not work because it happened two additional times after. The person I spoke with said they would remote in and view the logs. Not sure (and don’t care) if they fixed things behind the scene because ever since I submitted the last time I was locked out, it’s been working flawlessly. Will cancel the service appointment if everything works as designed.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but on the app, during each of the "lockout" events, still says, "Phone key: connected,"
I am having the same problems. Sometimes car opens when I approach it and not other times. Sometimes walk away lock works and sometimes it doesn’t (scary). When in the car, sometimes it will operate and other times I get directed to hold key card to console ( at least that does work without taking it out of my wallet). Suggestions ?
Now my wife and I are having this issue. Started yesterday and it's not working for either of us. If we open the app and unlock, hit the climate, etc. the Y unlocks. I wonder if the latest version of iOS hosed this up for us. Sounds like not though after reading the comments here. Has been flawless until yesterday.
