Pairing iPhone to MY doesn’t work

[Blucenturion]

Son-in-law drives a M3 and uses an iPhone. He was going to borrow my model Y and we set out to pair his phone. We tried everything to no avail. Even got down to deleting the app. When my daughter did this, there were problems but it eventually worked. So I can’t figure this one out.

Not sure if you did this but if you want to give someone access to your car, login to your Tesla account (not the app) and under Manage->Car Access add that person's email account. That person will receive an email and needs to install the Tesla app (if not already installed) and accept access to your car. Similarly, you can revoke access to your car using Manage->Car Access.

Thanks, he does have the app as a M3 owner. But I will do that nonetheless.

When I viewed "Manage" under my account I saw my daughter's name, so I was confident this would work. But it was not to be, the car did not recognize his iphone. Frankly, the only thing I didn't try was cycling Bluetooth on his phone.

So he made the trip on his worn tires, original Michelins. Sigh of relief. But I still want to solve this issue. Never know when he will need to use my car going forward.

AFAIK Tesla only allow one additional driver to be linked to the car, and consequently one additional phone to be paired. If both your daughter and her husband want to use the car, one of them has to use a key card.

How interesting! We'll test that theory, thanks!

I have both my wife and my son on my car

If he needs to use your car wouldn’t it be Much easier to simply give him one of the plastic cards that came with your car and be done with it? He doesn’t Need to use a phone.

The phone allows for cabin pre-cooling in these hot summer days.

Just want to confirm that the followings are true:

1. You son-in-law has created an account on Tesla
2. You added his account to your car on Tesla website
3. He has installed the Tesla app to his phone and logged in using his account
4. You then tried to pair that phone with your car and it fails?

 

[Blucenturion]

Each one of those statements is true.
