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.
Eric Slivka for MacRumors:
‎

‌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.
