At this year’s WWDC, Apple announced that 13 additional automakers had pledged to implement the Apple Wallet car key feature. Recent updates indicate that a number of these manufacturers might soon activate this capability.
Apple has recently introduced backend car key support for General Motors (GM) vehicles, as reported by MacRumors. This enhancement implies that car key support for certain GM models could soon be incorporated into the Apple Wallet app. The internal code found suggests that Apple has incorporated settings for GM vehicles within its roster of cars that will facilitate car key integration.
This finding comes after earlier reports from Aaron Perris, who observed that Apple had similarly added backend code for Rivian, Smart, and Voyah vehicles. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that while Apple is advancing on its part, automakers also need to carry out the essential modifications to activate the feature. The latest updates in Apple’s code imply that the launch of this feature is imminent.
For GM, car key support will cover Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC brands, although specific models eligible for the car key feature have yet to be verified. Besides GM, the 13 newly supported brands include Acura, Chery, Hongqi, Lucid, Porsche, Tata, and WEY.
