Only way to reset it is to delete the app and start again.Have written to the developer but had no response. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Don’t Buy - doesn’t work! *2025-05-07, version 4.6* This app doesn’t work and the developer doesn’t respond - don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2025-04-17, version 4.6* Just a stalled splash screen ### 1/5 — Don’t understand *2025-04-09, version 4.6* Tried to connect via VIN number. Says “VIN is invalid or vehicle not compatible with Bluetooth communication”. My car 2020 model X. Tried to contact developer. Takes you to website that is no longer functioning. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-04-03, version 4.6* Doesn’t work anymore ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-03-22, version 4.6* Just bought it and granted access but app does not start, total loss of money ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-03-15* I went through all of the steps required to get full use of the functionality claimed, including logging on to my Tesla account. Then nothing happens, and the same screens show up, and the app never connects to my Tesla. When I exit and start the app again, I get a screen shot with no functionality. ### 1/5 — Scamming don’t use it *2025-03-03, version 4.6* There are a lot of bugs that cause the app not functioning. Like click on the button not going anywhere, page stuck, no button to close or return to else, etc. the worst for me is after linked with my Tesla account, the app could not process further, it just stopped at the page that looked like an image, no links, no buttons, going nowhere. I send email to the developer, no response ### 5/5 — Apple Watch version of this app works without a companion app running on the iPhone! *2024-10-24* This is a phenomenal app that just works. It works over the network connection, and it works over Bluetooth. The reaction time from my Tesla measures in a second or two; sometimes it’s instantaneous. With this app you can unlock your car, unlatch any door, get inside the Tesla and drive away without having a mobile phone on you and without even having a cellular data plan on your Apple Watch. All you need is Bluetooth, and it works via Bluetooth from the Apple Watch as though it were a native Tesla app. It’s reliable with almost instant response from your Tesla. Wow! for $1.99? How is this even possible? Look at the competitors’ pricing. Subscription fees, $100+ price for the app, and other nonsense. Unless you need all sorts of stats on your iPhone from the Tesla, then just get this app and reward the developer. This app made my day today. Wait, no, that’s not true. This app made my week or even month. I can now use my Apple Watch when I go on short drives without even having to bring my iPhone with me. I’m THAT confident in how reliable this Apple Watch app is. I won’t get stranded even if there is no cellular data coverage where I park my Tesla because this Apple Watch app serves as a key via Bluetooth, and it just works. ## Frequently asked questions about My Tesla Remote ### What can I do with My Tesla Remote?
