Here are the cars that support Apple Wallet’s car key feature
At WWDC in 2020, Apple announced a new car key feature that lets people use the Wallet app on the iPhone or Apple Watch to control their car. While adoption of this feature has been slow, head below to find the full list of cars that support Apple car key integration.
What is Apple car key?
This feature lets users add their car key to the Wallet app, then use the wallet app to lock, unlock, and start their car. While specific implementations vary depending on the carmaker, there are a few different ways Apple’s car key feature can be used:
- Passive entry: Approach your car with your device, it unlocks, start your car when inside, and walk away from your car with your device, it locks.
- Proximity: Lock, unlock, and start the car by holding your device close to the door handle or key reader.
- Remotely: You can use your device to remote lock and unlock your car, and use other features.
The car key feature also includes support for Express Mode. This feature allows you to use your car key without unlocking your device, or authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. The Wallet app also supports sharing your car key using things like Messages, Mail, and AirDrop.
