Setting up a new phone as a key?

Hi Everyone,

My Dad recently got a new iPhone for Christmas and transferred over all his apps but the Tesla key on the phone will not work anymore. Having a look at the app we can see that you can click on the key card in the security section and there is the option for "Forget this vehicle" but wanted to check first if that is the correct thing to do first?

Thanks to anyone that can offer some help with this.
 
In the car, go to Controls > Locks, delete the old phone key, and add the new one there. On the phone, go to iOS Settings > Tesla, and make sure Bluetooth, Calendars, Background App Refresh are all enabled, and Location is set to While Using (or Always, but that’s not really necessary).
