The Copeel virtual key

The virtual key is Tesla’s own security: you add it to your car yourself, from the Tesla app. Without it, the car refuses to talk to Copeel: Copeel receives no data from the car and can’t send it commands.

Adding it

The key is created while adding the vehicle, at the “Create your virtual key” step:

1. Tap Create key next to the car: the Tesla app opens on Tesla’s page for it.
2. Confirm adding the Copeel key.
3. Come back to Copeel: the car shows “Virtual key added”.

Tracking can’t start until the key is detected. See Connect your Tesla.

Removing it

In the car, open Controls › Locks and delete the Copeel key. Copeel then no longer receives the car’s data and can’t send it commands. Copeel also stays among your Tesla account’s authorized apps: you can remove it from your Tesla account.

To put it back, see “The virtual key isn’t paired with your car yet”.
