Tesla App For Apple Watch. +1 Add Apple Watch. I used to have a VW and go running with my key in a little pocket in my CW-X thigh, plus Apple Watch with Cellular. I just realized that I cannot no longer do that. I have to carry either the phone or a key card, none of them fit in my little pocket in my CW-X. Desperately needing a watch app right now. Using the Toolbox App via Apple Watch ($4.99), it’s easy to use the watch only (phone needs to be inside car though). The trick is that you will need to log out of the Tesla App in order to disable the Phone as Key Mode (would be nice if tesla made a toggle on/off for this instead). @JPPTM Of course it is Tesla's app. I was suggesting that as there are several Tesla's at Apple HQ -- and lots of former Apple folks at Tesla.

A phone is only a key if its running the Tesla app - and I don't think the Tesla app is compatible with the Apple Watch, so not likely to work until they release a watch version. That would make life much easier though wouldn't it. Love x 1; run-the-joules Active Member.

Now I can open w/my watch! So may times I forget something and run back to a locked car. Used to have to run back in for my phone. This is the watch app I wanted from the get go.
