Software Update 2018.32.4

[boaterva]

Got 2018.32.4 just now, only thing in the notes was the PIN to drive. I assume Tesla Service has some 'sooper secret' service mode that turns this (and other items) off, since it's not even hooked to a driver profile, it's on or off! I thought perhaps I could put it on the fob I use, and not the one I give them.

People are always talking about them not turning mobile access back on, so, they must have some remotely accessible service mode that really does that and other things, because this would definitely not work well.

There has to be a separate reset mechanism.

Can alternately use Tesla account info to override the pin.

Try replacing the battery.

Got it, 4 times now have to start car from app. Short trips (feet) Park and get back in No Bueno> Restart from APP. Park and stay in car. Again use app to unlock.

I think I will reserve using this P2D only in sketchy times, making sure I have my phone also.

Also, how does it react with Valet Mode?

BTW, the Electrek article says that people with older key fobs can request new ones... I'm interested to see how that turns out. I've noticed that recently the range on my fob seems to have been significantly reduced, to the point that just walking around to the back of the car to plug it in results in the car locking (I have walk-away lock on). This is really annoying because then I have to unlock the car to open the charge port, even though I'm still right next to the car (just behind it). I've been wondering if maybe I just need a new battery in my fob, but now I'm wondering if they make some kind of firmware change for security in a recent firmware update (not 2018.32.4 as I don't have it yet).

I might contact the SvC about it and see if they'll give me one of the shiny new crypto fobs.

My SC was not aware of the option to replace key fobs for newer ones.

I don't think there are new fobs, I think they are supposed to update the firmware in the existing fobs to be more secure. (But I haven't seen anyone get it done yet.)

In valet mode there is no request for P2D. Tried it yesterday myself, 'cause I was curious.

+1 tried on my MX in the UK, P2D is disabled while in valet mode....was also curious as in a few weeks my car is going to the SC....

Did you use the same password on the valet and for the pin ?
If yes this is you de problem.

There was no pin what so ever while valet mode was engaged

it doesn't matter what PIN you have on valet (same as P2D or different): when in P2D valet is bypassing the P2D pin code.
