Phone key - You can set up your personal phone as a "phone key" that communicates with Model Y using Bluetooth. A phone key supports automatic locking and unlocking.
Phone Key
Using your phone as a key is a convenient way to access your Model Y. As you approach, your phone's Bluetooth signal is detected and the doors unlock when you pull a door handle. Likewise, when you exit and walk away with the phone key, doors automatically lock (provided the Walk-Away Door Lock feature is turned on; see Walk-Away Door Lock).
Before you can use a phone to access Model Y, follow these steps to authenticate it:
Download the Tesla mobile app to your phone.
Log into the Tesla mobile app using your Tesla account username and password.
Note
You must remain logged in to your Tesla account to use your phone to access Model Y.
Note
If multiple vehicles are linked to your Tesla account, you must ensure that the vehicle you want the mobile app to access is currently selected on the mobile app.
Ensure:
Your phone's general Bluetooth settings are enabled.
Bluetooth is enabled within your phone's settings for the Tesla mobile app. For example, on your phone, navigate to Settings, choose the Tesla mobile app, and ensure the Bluetooth setting is turned on.
Access to your location is enabled. Open the Tesla mobile app in your phone's settings and select Location - Always. For the best experience, keep the mobile app running in the background.
Allow Mobile Access is enabled on the vehicle touchscreen (Controls - Safety - Allow Mobile Access).
Note
Model Y communicates with your phone using Bluetooth. Keep in mind that your phone must have enough battery power to run Bluetooth and that many phones disable Bluetooth when the battery is low.
While inside or near the vehicle, open the Tesla mobile app and touch Set Up Phone Key on the main screen, or navigate to Security - Set Up Phone Key. Follow the prompts on the mobile app and vehicle touchscreen to set up your phone key. 👇👇 Buy something and support the Homeneer channel 👇👇
