    I just tried this a couple different ways:

    1. Removing permission for “nearby devices” - this unfortunately appears to block both Bluetooth and NFC permission
    2. Turning off the phone’s Bluetooth - NFC still works while the Bluetooth radio is off, but you’d basically never be able to safely use Bluetooth anytime you aren’t watching your car. Setting a PIN is still unfortunately the only way to go, and hope that a dedicated attacker doesn’t also find a way to capture your PIN (e.g. camera zoomed in on your screen).

      So we’d need Tesla to push a software change in the app with an option to turn off the Bluetooth LE signal, but leave the NFC on to continue to use Phonekey safely.

      I guess the only safe alternative is using the NFC cards.
