Tesla Model Y: Bluetooth Compatibility
You can use your Bluetooth-capable
phone
hands-free in Model Y provided your phone
is within operating range. Although
Bluetooth typically supports wireless
communication over distances of up to
approximately 30 feet (nine meters),
performance can vary based on the phone
you are using.
Before using your phone with Model Y, you must pair it.
Pairing sets up Model Y to work with your Bluetooth-
capable phone (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone).
NOTE: Authenticating your phone to use as a key (see
Keys) does not also allow you to use the
phone hands-free, play media from it, etc. You must also
pair it as described below.
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones. Unless you've
specified a specific phone as a Priority Device or if the
phone specified as Priority Device is not within range, Model Y always connects
to the last phone that was used (provided it is within range). To connect to a
different phone, see Bluetooth Compatibility.
NOTE: On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if the
phone's battery is low.
NOTE: In addition to phones, you can pair other
Bluetooth-enabled devices with Model Y. For example,
you can pair an iPod Touch, an iPad, an Android tablet,
etc. from which you can play music.
