After being rumored for months, Apple announced Car Key last month as a feature of iOS 14 and also iOS 13.
As the name suggests, this feature turns the iPhone into a real car key that can unlock, lock, and start a car. Read on as we detail Car Key options, compatibility, and availability.
How does Car Key work?
With Car Key, drivers can replace physical keys with their iPhone. You can simply hold your iPhone close to the car’s door handle to unlock it using NFC technology. Once you’re inside it, put your iPhone in the NFC reader or wireless charger to start the car. If you have an iPhone 11 or later, you don’t even have to take your iPhone out of your pocket to unlock the doors or start the car thanks to the U1 chip.
Apple says this feature will be available with new cars starting next year. Car Key doesn’t require authentication by default, so it can work with just a tap. Apple ensures the process is secure and based on a unique token that is shared between your iPhone and your car. iOS uses your location and Apple ID information to prevent fraud.
Compatibility of Car Key
Not every car will work with Car Key. BMW is the first car manufacturer to announce Car Key support, and it’s adding the feature to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, X5, X6, X7, X5M, X6M, and Z4 models manufactured after July 1, 2020.
