【Tesla Mobile Key】 Used for the mobile key of Tesla vehicles, connecting to the vehicle via Bluetooth without the need for user login. 【How to Pair】 Scan nearby Tesla vehicles, find your Tesla's Bluetooth name, click "Pair," then tap "Confirm" on the car's display to successfully complete the pairing. If you don't know your Tesla's Bluetooth name: If your phone has previously connected to the Tesla mobile key, find the Bluetooth name in your phone's settings under the "Bluetooth" section and select it for pairing. If there hasn't been a previous connection, park the vehicle separately, ensuring there are no other Tesla vehicles nearby, then proceed with the scan and pairing. 【Summoning】 Requires your Tesla to have purchased or subscribed to EAP or FSD. Navigate to "Controls" -> "Autopilot" -> "Customize Summoning Behavior" on the car's display and ensure the "Press and Hold to Activate" option is set to "No." After configuring the vehicle, when the car enters double-flash mode for 5 seconds, tap the "Forward" or "Reverse" button to initiate summoning. *Note: In emergency situations, the emergency stop can be activated by pulling the door handle. 【Keyless Entry】 Supports keyless entry, allowing seamless access even when the phone is locked. However, in certain situations, keyless entry may fail due to factors such as lack of Bluetooth permissions, background location usage, restricted location permissions, or the app being terminated by the system. Solution: Restart the app (except for permission issues). 【How to Remove the Key】 In addition to unbinding within the app, you also need to find and delete the corresponding key in the car's display under "Locks."

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CarPos at none against TES's 1. CarPos also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6). TES's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TES sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CarPos asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CarPos holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TES has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of CarPos's written reviews are positive against 50% of TES's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CarPos ships an update monthly, TES every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
