Apple Car Key coming soon to Volvo, Audi, Polestar vehicles
Digital car keys give users a way to securely unlock and start their car using just their iPhone or Apple Watch.
Apple Car Key – digital car keys in the Wallet app – are coming soon to select Volvo, Audi, and Polestar vehicles, based on code changes discovered by MacRumors in Apple’s Wallet app backend.
The car keys function can allow an iPhone or Apple Watch with NFC capabilities to unlock, lock, or start a vehicle through the Wallet app by simply holding the device near a compatible vehicle’s NFC reader. Car key functionality may vary by manufacturer and model.
Apple introduced digital car key support in 2022, and select car brands like BMW, BYD, Hyundai/Genesis/Kia, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, and RAM have implemented support for the feature.
