Connecting your iPhone to your Tesla through Bluetooth involves a number of steps, but removing that iPhone from the vehicle is a far simpler process that only takes a couple of taps on your Tesla’s dashboard touchscreen.
- Tap the Bluetooth button at the top-right corner of the Tesla touchscreen
- Select the iPhone you wish to remove along the left column
- Tap the Disconnect button at the bottom-right of the settings screen
Once you’ve done that, it will no longer be connected. However, the iPhone will remain in your Tesla’s system and can be easily reconnected again in the future. Do not click the Disconnect button if you want to remove an iPhone from the Tesla completely. Instead, you will click the Forget This Device button to the left of it. It will then ask you to confirm if you want to remove the iPhone.
This Bluetooth pairing only affects the features related to calls, messages, and things like that. This will not affect your iPhone’s authentication to work as a key, one of Tesla’s many exciting features.
