Tesla quietly fixes FSD and PIN to Drive conflict [2025.32.3.1]

Tesla has rolled out its latest over-the-air (OTA) software update, version 2025.32.3.1, and while the update appears minor according to the release notes, Tesla included a hidden improvement that resolves a long-standing frustration for many drivers.

The patch quietly fixes a compatibility issue between the security feature PIN to Drive and the ability to launch Full Self-Driving (Supervised) directly from park mode.

Until now, Tesla owners who enabled PIN to Drive—a feature introduced in 2018 that requires a four-digit code before the car can move—faced a limitation. If they wanted to use FSD (Supervised) from a parked state, the ‘Start FSD (Supervised) button to initiate the feature was simply missing from the screen.

This meant that owners had to turn off the extra security layer to be able to turn on FSD from garages, parking lots, or driveways.

Tesla released software update 2025.32.3.1 this week with the release notes simply saying it includes minor fixes and improvements. As it turns out, one of those improvements resolves this conflict, as the ‘Start FSD (Supervised) button now appears on the screen while the car is in park. Drivers can press and hold the button, prompting the PIN to Drive screen to appear. After entering their PIN, FSD takes control and begins to drive.

The undocumented feature was discovered by Tesla influencer Dan Burkland, who shared a video on X showing how PIN to Drive now works seamlessly with FSD.
