Apple introduced the Car Key feature at the WWDC 2020<\/a>, which lets users unlock and start their cars using the Wallet app on their iPhone or Apple Watch. Here\u2019s a complete list<\/a> of cars that are compatible with Apple\u2019s Car Key integration.<\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s take a quick look at what Apple Car Key is<\/a>, and how to get it added to your iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/figure>\n

What is Apple Car Key?<\/h2>\n

Apple Car Key is a feature distinct from Apple CarPlay. It is integrated within the Wallet app on your iPhone or Apple Watch, allowing you to add your car keys digitally. Once added, you can lock, unlock, and start your car by simply raising your device near the vehicle\u2019s handle.<\/p>\n

You can also share your car keys with friends or family via Messages, Mail, or AirDrop, enhancing convenience. Additionally, Car Key supports Express Mode, which lets you use your car key without needing to unlock your device or authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.<\/p>\n

\"Sharing<\/figure>\n

How to Add Apple Car Key to iPhone<\/h2>\n

To use your iPhone or Apple Watch as your car key, you need to ensure compatibility with your vehicle. Check with your car manufacturer or dealership to see if your vehicle supports this feature.<\/p>\n

You will need an iPhone XS or later, or an iPhone SE (2nd generation), running the latest version of iOS; or an Apple Watch Series 5 or later, or an Apple Watch SE, with the latest version of watchOS. Make sure you are signed into your device with your Apple ID.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to set it up:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure that your car is associated with the account provided by the car\u2019s manufacturer.<\/li>\n
  2. Set up your key using the car manufacturer\u2019s app or via your car\u2019s display screen. Follow the instructions to set up your key.<\/li>\n
  3. When you are sent to the Wallet app, tap \u2018Continue\u2019.<\/li>\n
    \"Car<\/figure>\n
  4. When prompted with on-screen instructions, place your phone near the key reader while your phone and car pair.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note that when you pair your car key with your iPhone, it might also be automatically paired with your Apple Watch.<\/p>\n
