Extensive Collection of Vehicles Supporting Apple Wallet’s Car Key Functionality
# Apple Car Key: An In-Depth Look
During WWDC 2020, Apple unveiled a groundbreaking car key capability that empowers users to manage their automobiles via the Wallet app on an iPhone or Apple Watch. While the uptake of this feature has been slow, it marks a substantial advancement in merging technology with everyday travel. Below, we delve into the essence of Apple Car Key, its functionality, and the current vehicles that support this feature.
## What is Apple Car Key?
Apple Car Key allows users to integrate their car key into the Wallet app, facilitating the locking, unlocking, and starting of their vehicles directly from their devices. The execution of this feature can differ by car manufacturer, but it typically encompasses several essential functions:
– **Passive Entry**: As you get near your vehicle with your device, it unlocks automatically. Once you enter, you can start the car, and it will relock when you depart with your device.
– **Proximity Access**: Users can lock, unlock, and start their vehicles by placing their device near the door handle or key reader.
– **Remote Access**: The device can remotely lock and unlock the vehicle, along with additional functionalities.
Moreover, Apple Car Key features **Express Mode**, allowing users to use their car key without unlocking their device or verifying with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. If the iPhone is depleted, the device can continue to work as a car key for up to five hours.
