Apple's iPhone digital car key feature expands compatibility

Apple's digital car key feature, introduced with iOS 14, allows users to store and use their car keys on their iPhone or Apple Watch. This functionality, based on the Car Connectivity Consortium's Digital Key specification, utilizes NFC and Bluetooth for locking, unlocking, and starting vehicles. For enhanced convenience, an 'Express Mode' enables keyless access without unlocking the phone. Compatibility requires an iPhone XS or later (or second-gen iPhone SE or newer) running iOS 13 or later, and a growing list of car manufacturers, including BMW and Hyundai, now support the feature.
