no calendar access

[worldtraveller]

I just updated my Tesla MS to 2024.14.7 and now can no longer access my iphone calendar. I received the message "Enable Calendar Access" & it instructs me to allow access on my phone app.

I've turned the tesla app on and off, turned calendar access on & off in the iphone, rebooted my car, turned access via Bluetooth off & on, etc. Nothing helps.

Maybe a bug in 2024.14.7?

When you enabled calendar access on your iPhone, do you mean in the Tesla app or in iOS Settings for the Tesla app? You need to do both.

Thank you EVRider.

I was focusing on IOS since I hadn't expected the Tesla app to unset, and the settings menu had become less obvious compared to the earlier version I remembered. Your guidance should do the trick.

Not to piggyback on this but I'm having a similar problem. Android. Tesla app IS set to share calendar (Menu > My Profile Photo > Calendar Sync is on) and phone allows the app to access Calendar (long press app > info > Permissions include Calendar).

Have disabled and enabled both, both separately and together. Have relinked phone via BT to car. Have "forgotten" the phone completely and repaired it as a key. No joy.

Contacts, phone, texts, all okey dokey. Phone calls and texts to contacts all work as before. Just no calendar and hence no auto routing to my next scheduled event. Don't even see Calendar as an option on the Phone menu in the car, just "Contacts, Favorites Messages"

Sadness.

Car: '22 M3LR v2024.14.6 (FSD v12.3.6)
App: v4.33.5-2673
OS: Android 13

The only recent update was 2024.14.6 four weeks ago, and calendar worked before then. Sure looks like it deleted the in-car calendar altogether when I got my FSD trial pushed.

There’s a separate calendar icon for the toolbar, which should alway be there even if the calendar doesn’t sync. What happens when you press that?

Note that your synced calendar data will only appear when your phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth and not in Valet Mode. Unlike contacts etc, calendar data goes from the app to the Tesla servers, then to the car, not directly from the app to the car.

Sometimes my calendar data doesn’t appear in the car until I open the Tesla app on my phone.

Heh, apparently I'm a doofus. I could've sworn that the Calendar was accessed via the phone menu, but I've got a standalone Calendar icon in my main menu..... which of course works exactly as it should, with addresses pre-loaded and navigation links presented for any event that has a location provided.

So, humor me ... am I smoking dope or WAS that inside the Phone menu in the past? :/

I don’t remember the calendar ever being accessed via the phone icon. In the old UI, before the toolbar, the calendar would appear automatically when getting in the car by default, but you could also tap the time display at the top of the touchscreen to make it appear.
