Unknown Bluetooth device in car

[Dilly]

Several times I’ve sat in the car and re-connected Bluetooth to the car. That shows up in my iPhone as Tesla as you’d expect.
There is another device found by the phone. It’s definitely in the car as I tried in a car park away from home.
I had thought it might be my Powerwalls in my garage, but it clearly isn’t.

it’s just a long alphanumeric name. Any clues anyone?

I've seen that as well and always surmised the car has a separate bluetooth identifier for the phone-as-key connection. I am probably wrong (as usual) but it gives me comfort having an explanation!

Options include spy device from Hauwei or VW or an assembly line chappy dropped his smart watch in there somewhere

It relates to the Phone Key functionality, nothing to worry about. I assume it's involved in some kind of handshake with the car, before you press the handle.

Yes, you’re right. I’ve just tried it.
Thought it might be Elon’s Covid checker keeping an eye on me

Its normal. The car uses multiple BT radios to triangulate the position of the phone for lock/unlock.
