The Model 3 wouldn’t need this as I guess you’d just carry your phone with you. Although unlocking with implant is cool, if there’s an easier way that’s preferable.
The Tesla backup card is intended as a backup or to give to people temporarily if you want to borrow them your car. However, the “intended experience” is to actually use the paired phone “passively” and walk up to the car.
I scanned my Model 3’s keycard with NXP TagInfo, and as indicated by CyBro, it reads as a JavaCard contactless smartcard. Some of the details:
# IC manufacturer:
NXP Semiconductors
# IC type:
Unknown IC
# Card OS type:
Athena SCS OS
# Application information:
Global Platform card manager present
-- NDEF ------------------------------
# No NDEF data storage populated:

Hey @amal , can you say whether the Vivokey will also be NXP based and whether we have a chance it would be interoperable with the model 3 if it were added as an accepted key? I’d be curious to know whether this could work.
I can’t say much about this entire thread now… however, if someone wants to explore the idea of converting a key card to an implant, please let me know… i’m interested in doing that for model 3 owners.
My personal thought is this - oh great, let’s put even more keys to our entire lives on hackable phones using hackable online services… but my next thought is, are there provisions for RFID/NFC keys and how can we get VivoKey involved?
I plan to have work/office in left hand (already in place) and home/car in right hand (still waiting for my Model 3). Hoping for much success, I’m right behind you!!!
Well we have had scheduling issues and other problems… but we do have some model 3 implants done and tested now… I think we’ll put them up for sale on DT.
