A Seamless Unlocking Experience
The Car Keys feature allows users to unlock their vehicle via the Wallet app on compatible devices. By storing a digital key within this app, individuals can gain access to their vehicles simply by bringing their iPhone or Apple Watch near an NFC reader located in the car.
Unlocking is as easy as tapping on the door handle. Users benefit from Face ID authentication for added security; however, there’s also an Express Mode option available which facilitates quicker access without the need for additional authentication steps. For those interested in setup details, Volvo provides comprehensive instructions on its website.

Introduced by Apple in 2022, Car Keys technology has seen widespread adoption across various automotive brands including BMW, Rivian, Kia, Audi, and Hyundai.
