Tesla’s wording is broader than DashMic’s use.

1. Tesla will ask for “Vehicle Information”

Tesla bundles several things into that one permission category, including live vehicle data, service history, service scheduling and communications, eligible upgrades, nearby Superchargers, and ownership details. Tesla confirmation emails may use even broader wording, including a reference to location. Tesla does not currently offer DashMic a smaller media-only Vehicle Information permission.

DashMic is built to use your Tesla connection and the live media information needed to identify and synchronize the track that is playing. DashMic does not request Tesla’s separate Vehicle Location permission, does not query or store vehicle location, does not request vehicle commands or charging controls, and does not query Tesla service-history or service-communication data for the lyrics experience.

2. Tesla will call the next step a “virtual key”

The name sounds more powerful than the permission DashMic actually has. Tesla uses the virtual key as a cryptographic trust check before a vehicle can send secure real-time data to a third-party app.

Adding the key does not give DashMic permission to unlock, start, locate, or remotely control your Tesla. Those capabilities require separate Tesla permissions that DashMic does not request.

You remain in control

Tesla handles your sign-in. DashMic never receives your Tesla password. You can revoke DashMic from Tesla’s Third Party Apps settings, and the dashmic.com key can be removed from your vehicle’s Controls → Locks screen.
