A Tesla Key FOB Ring? Hansshow’s Smart Ring!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Hansshow has sent me a key FOB ring for my Tesla Model 3. They call it the Smart Ring! This works for any Tesla that uses a key card to unlock and start the car, so that's currently the Model 3 and Model Y. It works exactly like the key card, but now you don't have to dig through your wallet to easily get in your car if you don't have your phone with you.

#Tesla #Model3 #KeyFobRing #Hansshow
Nailed it on the athletic person take. That's why I got the ring a few months back, but I find it is useful many times when I go out to get something out of the car and don't have my wallet or phone with me, etc.
I don’t think I had ever left house without my phone 👍🏻
My precious
Hahahahahahah greatest comment
I had a similar issue with my phone periodically not working on my model 3. The direct cause is that I had inadvertently disabled the Tesla app background activity on my Android phone. I changed my that setting and the issue was resolved. Thanks for your videos.
Love the Tesla Keyfob. Has buttons for opening the trunk and frunk. It’s not too bulk to keep in a pocket, and always works.
You're absolutely right...the Keyfob does have more features than this ring, but the ring serves a different purpose. Some people have both the ring and the keyfob. The ring is for those who want to go jogging, bike riding, swimming, hiking, climbing (hopefully not all at once) - but they want to leave their bulky wallet and keys locked inside the car or in their home. The ring doesn't get in the way and you can always access your locked car with it.
"What happened to your ring finger?"
"Car got stolen." ;D
They can steal your phone or key card in your wallet probably a lot easier 😆
One ring to rule them all. I get mine in 2 days!
my precious
Mine mine
Hade the same problem and bought the Tesla Key Fob and it works great.
this is sick!
Ever since I switched to iPhone pro I have has the same issue. Not sure if it’s the Apple OS. I did check the Tesla app running in background and its not that. Great solution thanks for the suggestion.
Just ordered the ring! This is a great idea for surfers who want something smaller to take out on the water
I think I'll make my own.
Acetone on a spare tesla key card, and work it into a UV resin ring. =)
Michael Varney do it! That’ll be awesome.
"I live in chicago" subscribed LOL
Thanks! See you around :)
Big thumbs up for being in Chicago AND.... for being able to always get into/drive your car a lot more consistently now. :) (that said, pls always be sure to not just say 'sent...' (tho, do give ya' kudos for that/what many still aren't even doing) but 'sent... free' for anything you didn't 100% purchase yourself) One last thing totally just to help out... In description & starting ABOVE that Tesla link... pls be sure to disclose (as required) something along the lines of.... 'unless indicated otherwise, the following are all referral &/or affiliate links. Through their use, w/ no additional cost to you... pls note I am paid commission for any purchases made through their use." Doing so, ensures any viewer/consumer is always made fully aware of any potential connection, bias &/or gain... prior to having already clicked away to purchase. Plus, shows transparency & full disclosure RE: any opinions given, etc. Thanks for sharing... enjoy! Stay safe & be well.
Thanks for the advice, and thanks for watching!
You need to reset the at to different access mode that is all
remove your fob and reinstall it. Same thing happens to me, this is the only fix; it usually stays for weeks before it goes bad again.
My key card stays in my wallet and rarely need it. The reason blue tooth doesn't always wake up your car is b/c (at least on mine) is the phone is sleeping in low power too. Tap your phone to wake it up and your car will unlock. The ring is too pricey for me. Will stick with my phone and key card in my wallet.
usually the size of youre shoe is the size of the ring
They're now around €38
My model 3 should be delivered end of June early July.
That's not just awesome...that's Sofa King Awesome!
Another really good video! I didn't know about the ring! Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yeah, the ring is cool!
Your smart phone has to be on the most latest firmware to smoothly open the car
Very interesting, thanks!
I had that same problem with my Model 3 a couple of months ago. I stopped hard closing the Tesla app on my phone and have not had a problem since. I really like the ring idea though.
Thanks for the video.
Brett L thanks for the comment. I’ll try testing your theory. You may be right though; I think it’s related to a delay in waking the car up.
must buy 100%
Can you imagine if the ring had a button to open trunk?
This is brilliant 😧
I ordered one ! I am waiting to be delivered 😀😀😀
How long did delivery take?
The website doesn’t ask what size or what color you want. How did you order? Did you get the ring?
Al S 3 weeks
adkinsmatt222 yes you can choice the finger size
And color
I just want a little RFID keychain WHY isn’t anyone making one of those? I can’t find one anywhere!!!
Some people buy rings like this one, and don't wear them. They instead put the ring on a keychain. If you're looking for something cheaper, you may be better off buying a replacement keycard from Tesla...they're around $25 (last I heard), and you can cut it open to take the RFID to make your own keychain.
which frequency use this chip? there are two available for nfc/rfid.
Would love to get this, but still not available for Model Y.
Their website needs to be updated as I believe this came out before the Model Y. Model 3 and Model Y both use key cards with NFC chips. This will work in your Model Y the same. The car is smart, but not smart enough to know the difference between adding a new key card or a smart ring (they both use the same NFC chip inside them). I will go so far to say that this should also work in the new refreshed Model S and Model X as they also now can use a key card.
@@BecauseTesla Thanks!
Wondering if a 2 bucks NFC ring from amazon or aliexpress would do the same thing...
i think so, you'd need a nfc tag reader/writer. read from your key card and write to the ring.
Hi Erik. Been a fan of your channel for quite a while! OMG! I’ve had the exact same problem with the Bluetooth connection between my iPhone and the car. It started a while ago after an update to the car. Used to be that I could just walk up to the car and open the door, and I never had a problem starting it. But now, I have the same problems as you have described. The only way to get a connection going is to launch the phone app. Additionally, sometimes, after getting into the car, it still asks me for the key card in order to get it into drive! So basically, something has changed. Now, the app always has to be launched in order to have a Bluetooth connection. Very frustrating!
Kevin Unger yes, that’s what I’m finding out too. If I hard kill the Tesla app (like I always do with all my apps) it fails. If I leave it up running in the background , it works like it used to. Frustrating indeed!
Because Tesla - Erik, similarly, I also hard close all my apps. Keeping them open is a drain on the phone battery. This includes the Tesla app too. My iPhone habits haven’t changed in years, and so I don’t recall EVER having to launch or relaunch the Tesla app to get into the car or start it. As a side note, the only connectivity issues I ever had was when the phone was in my back pocket of my jeans. It’s seems that your ass blocks Bluetooth signals! lol...and it still does!
Thought: I wonder if Tesla changed the Bluetooth configuration of connectivity. Perhaps originally unlocking and driving was tied to the Bluetooth of the owners phone and not the app itself. Launching of the app would therefore only be for access to features. But now, unlocking and driving are now tied into the app itself, meaning therefore that the app has to be launched or “active” for access. What do you think? Is this plausible?
@@kevinunger8511 Your theory could be plausible. It's hard to say. I've updated the car's software, the App's software, and my iPhone's software....so which is at fault? I'll make this one point though...I noticed the problem after updating the CAR's software. My gut instinct is that it has something to do with the car going to sleep and it's ability to wake up when you approach it. Even when I open the app, I see that it takes a while for the car to wake up. The app is what authenticates with the car. Bluetooth is only the means in which the app communicates with the car. I think Bluetooth is fine because I can still make phone calls and stream audio with no issues via Bluetooth. In my iPhone's settings, I just went to the Tesla app settings, and I had "location access" set to "while using the app" to save battery life. I just changed it to "Always" to see if the problem goes away. If battery life is still ok, I may leave it this way. Still testing this.
Because Tesla - Thanks Erik. Yes, I have also noticed a rather lengthy hesitation when the car wakes up. It never used to be this way. All systems used to be immediate.
My location access was also set to ‘while using the app’ and yes, I changed this yesterday to ‘always’ as well. I didn’t venture out today (Sunday) so I didn’t test. But Erik, here’s the thing. If the problem is indeed the car’s inability to wake up, then it should be affecting everyone. However, my wife, who is on an iPhone 11, doesn’t have these problems. I’m on an iPhone XR. I’m going to do some testing with her iPhone as well. She can’t verify if her Tesla app is launched or not when she approaches the car. Please keep me informed and I’ll do the same.
@@kevinunger8511 Thanks for helping out with the testing. For reference, my iPhone is an 11 Pro with the latest software.
Looks like your tsportline card holder is about to break where the loop joins the keyring :o
Andrew Macgregor it’s definitely worn. I’ve had it for nearly a year now. It’s made from a woven leather so it’s very strong. It may look like it’s about to break, but I can assure you that it isn’t. It’s a simple concept, but it’s one of my favorite accessories.
@@BecauseTesla Glad it's not broken as I had feared - it looks to be a great accessory :)
I bought the fob. I’m not a fan of the phone as a key.
🤬😱
Also for the model X ?? 🤔🤔
No, just for model 3 and Y. The models that use key cards. The X’s key fob “should” work every time. 🤞
doesn't the x have a fob
@@user-pm2zv9fs5r You're correct. The Model S and Model X use a key fob instead of a key card like the Model 3 and Model Y. This ring is only for the Model 3 and Model Y as it replaces the key card.
Does this work for Model S
This only works for cars that have key cards. I believe that is currently just Model 3 and Model Y.
Do they run big ?! I’m a 9 and a half but they only have 9 and 10 what should I do ?
I can't tell you what to do, but I'll tell you what I know. I did not get professionally measured and so I used the technique that they provide on their website. My ring came a little bigger than I expected, so I don't know if it is because they run big or because I didn't do a great job of measuring. Maybe try emailing them to see if they have heard any feedback from other customers about sizing. If I had to do it over again, I would choose the smaller size since I like my rings tight. Some people like their rings loose so they can remove them easily.
Awesome! Can you wear it while washing your hands etc…?
Yes, it's completely waterproof.
Can’t you use an Apple Watch ⌚️to do the same thing?
Apple watch requires internet connectivity and a special app to unlock it. I don't think it will start the car (without your phone). This ring contains the same RFID chip that your Tesla card has, so you can tap the ring/card to the car to unlock it and also to start it up. The Apple Watch does not have this RFID chip in it.
@@BecauseTesla Apple watches can't, but Wear OS watches like the Galaxy Watch 4 can use NFC with the app DRIVE Electric for Tesla.
is the ring waterproof for ocean sports?
Yes, it is completely sealed up. No seams for water to get in to.
Cool ring. But I really want a solution to make my smartphone work again! Please please if you find a solution let us know.
I’ve been testing different theories this week. So far, it looks like an issue with the car sleeping and a delay in waking up. I’ve been leaving the app up and running all the time instead of closing out the app when I’m finished using it. So far it’s working. My phone connects with the car every time. Try this to see if it works for you too. Let me know.
@@BecauseTesla I have a Samsung Galaxy S20. I have the issue ever since the August SW patch. So I rather blame Samsung but who knows.
For me it is still random. e.g.: I go to the car open the trunk without a problem. Put some stuff in and close it. Then I go to open the gate (20 meters away). Then back to the car to open the car's door and: nothing. :(
I followed some instructions (thanks Google) on how to keep an app awake on an S20 but this either doesn't fix the problem or I missed a setting.
I am grateful for any advice or better instructions on how to keep an app awake on an S20.
Does this work on a 2015 (02/2015) Model S ?
No, this only works on cars that come with the rfid key card, so all Model 3 and Y, and the new refreshed Model S and X.
I am hoping the Tesla ring is waterproof. Is it??? Once on, I would hate to take it off every time I wash my hands..,
Yes, I've had one for months, washed hands, ridden bike in rain with it, showered and forgot to take it off. Working fine.
turn off deep sleep on your apps and your Bluetooth problem will go away. just saying.
can you put the keycard in your wallet and unlock the car without taking it out?
nope. The keycard has to be tapped on the b pillar.
congratulation , this key worked whit model Y ?
Yes, this key works on all models that use the key card. So model 3 and model Y. I haven't heard about the refreshed version of the model S and X, but if they also use the key card, this ring will work with them as well.
@@BecauseTesla I chatted with Hansshow yesterday and was told ring no longer works with model Y. Not sure what’s changed. Also noticed they don’t do half sizes.
Nice
Fellow subscriber here. Love the video. Only question I have: what's the lifespan of the ring as far as the working functionality of it?
mg19cal It’s exactly the same as the key card. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they made the rings by taking apart key cards for the NFC chips to embed within the ring. No batteries to replace, etc...just like the key card.
@@BecauseTesla nice. I know they have smart rings for motion tracking/workout tracking and they need to be "charged" sometimes, often without a warning of depletion. So I'd DEFINITELY not want that to happen with this, otherwise it's the same issue as a dead/non responsive phone (app)
@@mg19cal good point!
Hey, Erik. I've just discovered your channel & subscribed.... Because I just bought a Tesla 😁
12 months now since this vid, how has the ring performed? Are you still using it?
The ring still works perfectly. It literally has the exact same chip that your key card has, so it works the same way - performs just like your card. Thank you so much for subscribing! I appreciate you and your comment!
Hi Erik! Is the smart ring entirely waterproof? Also, does it need to be charged from time to time?
Hey there Hugo. The ring is waterproof...I believe it's made from a type of ceramic. Your bathtub and sink are ceramic, so I'd say it's waterproof. There are no seams, so water can't get inside anywhere. No need to charge it. It's not electric. It is literally the same chip that's in your key card. Just like you don't need to charge your key card, you don't need to charge this ring either. If you plan on buying one, make sure you use coupon code becausetesla to get a discount on it!
@@BecauseTesla to further explain this NFC stands for near field communication effectively it is a dead circuit board and only activates when it enters an electromagnet field that powers the signal
If I have 3 Tesla cars, can one ring unlock all 3 cars?
Doubt it. You gotta be Thanos
Bruce I believe that will work, just program the same key in three different teslas
I’m not fortunate enough to have multiple Teslas (Yet!) to test this on, but I can tell you that it works exactly like the card. So if you have all 3 cars working off of one key card, then you can do the same with the ring.
One Ring to Unlock Them All!!!! 😁
Three rings better no?
Diff ones diff colours outfits etc
Hey bruv I subbed
Thank you so much! You rock!
Is your Tesla app open when you get to your
Car? I basically have to constantly keep my app open whenever I’m out and about. I don’t have to have the app pulled up to get it, but it does need to be open in the background at least. I noticed my car doesn’t unlock unless I have the app open. I don’t know if it’s just me or
Or if others noticed that too. But just maybe something to try out.
My phone worked perfectly until there was a software update on the TESLA several months ago. I've just been dealing with it ever since. I'll play around with background settings on my iPhone. Someone else mentioned that they fixed it by not hard quitting the app...which I do. So I'll play around with these things to see if it improves. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Because Tesla Love the videos man, keep em up! But you’re absolutely correct. Hard quitting the app causes a disruption between the car and your phone. At least that’s what I’ve come to believe because I hard quit all my apps multiple times a day. And I always end up closing the tesla app. As soon as I do, even if I’m in the car, I’ll be unable to drive unless I either tap the key card or open the app back up. But once the app is open again it immediately works just fine. I think tesla needs to make that more clear for users cause I was getting so frustrated! I Appreciate the reply!
