What Tesla models are supported?

Sentry Pro supports the following Tesla vehicles:

  • Model 3 (all years)
  • Model Y (all years)
  • Cybertruck
  • Model S (2021 and newer; 2018–2020 also supported — see below)
  • Model X (2021 and newer; 2018–2020 also supported — see below)

Pre-2021 Model S and Model X

As of Sentry Pro 1.5.65, pre-2021 Model S and Model X vehicles with the Intel infotainment computer (MCU2) are fully supported. This covers cars built around March 2018 or later, as well as older cars that received Tesla’s MCU2 infotainment upgrade. These vehicles require:

  • Vehicle firmware 2025.20 or newer.
  • Data streaming enabled on the car’s touchscreen: Controls > Safety > “Allow Third-Party App Data Streaming”.
  • Sentry Pro app version 1.5.65 or newer.

Unlike other models, these vehicles do not need a virtual key — they can’t install one. The app detects this automatically and guides you to the in-car toggle instead.

Model S and Model X with the original MCU1 infotainment (built before roughly March 2018 and never upgraded to MCU2) remain unsupported, as their firmware never reaches 2025.20.
