Okay, I am a tech idiot. I just do not understand how things work, why they work, and how to avoid failures. So, please be kind.
We have a 2014 Model S. We use the key fob that comes with the car to lock and unlock the car. I have connected my cell phone (Apple) to the car through the Bluetooth arrangement so that calls can be taken hands-free, and more recently, receive and reply to texts. So far, so good.
We also have a 2018 Model 3. My wife drives that car; I think I have driven it 20 times in three-plus years. When we received the car, the phone key was a pile of crap. We decided to use the black card key instead. I decided to connect my wife's phone to use as a phone key about two months ago, and it has worked flawlessly since.
I'll be taking the Model 3 on a road trip in several weeks. What I do not understand is the following:
If I connect my phone to use as the phone key, does that mess up my bluetooth connection with the S?
If I also connect my phone to the Model 3 bluetooth, does that mess up my bluetooth connection with the S?
Before I leave should I sever my Model S bluetooth connection? Then, upon returning, sever my Model 3 connections and reinstate the Model S bluetooth.
Thank you!
