Can't get Tesla streaming to work

Questions

Hi,

I get the virtual key registrated at Tesla dev. site but when I “Add streaming” in the app or in the webapp and then select “Finnish Setup” I get “This car doesn’t need a virtual key”.

I have a Tesla Model S 2018

    I am having the same problem (2020 S) after which it pops up with “To enable it, you need allow third party streaming in your Tesla under Settings->Security.” which is not a menu that exists either on the App or the Car. I have not been able to use ABRP linked to the car data for weeks now.

    Hi

    The older Tesla cars don’t need to use a virtual key. Can you try to unlink and link your car again?
