I don't have a car to test with yet, but likely nothing will happen. Bluetooth just like IP has a real addresses hidden in layers beneath the names. I'm sure those numbers (Mac address) are what are stored and paired with the car. My bet is on an iPhone name change has no impact. Also changing the name of the phone shouldn't make the app itself stop working or have. a change in behavior, so should be a simple test and no impact.

 

Thanks for the input. That makes sense and I hope you're right. If anyone is willing to test it, keep us posted!

 

I can test, but agree with @GDN that likely nothing will happen as the device and car are paired, so it would just see the new name.

 

Sweet! Let me know how it goes!

 

Just tested this. The only difference was the phone name changed on the display, but other than that it didn't have any problems, car connected normally and I could use the app just fine. No request for a reset/repair.

 

Awesome! Great news, thank you for trying this.

 

Once you change the name, you’ll end up multiple phone keys in your car’s setting. To delete old phone key, the car key(card) to do so.

Thank you for the information. Is it easy to tell which is the new phone key and which is the old phone key?
