You can put a more recent ROM on your phone if you want a newer version of Android. Though you’ll have to put up with driver oddities as Qualcomm has really poor driver support on newer OSes on older phones.Phone specs:
Galaxy S5
Android 6.0.1
Model SM-G900V

Haha, then he'll be complaining that all his other apps stopped working... And his phone probably still won't work as a key...
I would like a fob, but I also expect to hear folks complain about the batteries dying every three-four months on them...Or Tesla can just make us a fob and eliminate the entire problem. Just sayin'.......

Interesting. In theory that should work as it should only rely on BLE between phone and car. Does it not work without both phone and car also having cellular / wifi internet connection?
I'm as big of a phone key critic as anyone here and also want a fob (you can look through my post history), but you're not giving yourself a fair chance to make this work by using outdated tech.
I agree with you about the fob, but wow you like not having your phone? I never go anywhere without my phone.Read my previous posts here. Even if phone-as-a-key worked perfectly 100% of the time, I still wouldn't want it, because I hate having to take my phone with me every single time I go into a convenience store or somewhere else for 5 minutes, just to get the car to lock.
We want FOBS, Tesla!!! Phone-as-a-key SUCKS!!!!!
NO WE DON'T! If you want one bad enough, maybe Tesla will re program a Model S fob, and charge you the $400+ dollars they have always charged. Though the 3 isn't set up for a fob.Read my previous posts here.

Data?NO WE DON'T! ... Most of us like the convenience of not having to carry around another device.
