With more recent iPhones that come with Apple’s U1 chip, you don’t even need to remove your phone from your pocket to access your car. Some vehicles also allow you to start them by placing your device near the ignition button. You can also make phone calls, send messages or use navigation with voice commands using Siri. To use the feature, you simply bring your phone or wearable up to your car’s door handle to unlock it. Posted on Februby Nabeel Hyundai Palisade supports Apple CarPlay that lets you access your iPhone apps like iTunes, Google Maps, Waze and Spotify through the touch-screen of your vehicle.
While car manufacturers have offered remote lock controls through smartphones for a while, CarKey is different in that it treats your iPhone and Apple Watch like a physical key. A spokesperson for Kia told the outlet it would “have more information about Digital Key availability in the coming weeks." It’s unclear if CarKey functionality is already widely available on those models or if Hyundai is only now in the process of rolling it out. In a change spotted by MacRumors, Apple has updated its CarPlay website to indicate that the 2022 Genesis GV60, 2022 G Kia Niro now support the feature. In January, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claimed the feature would expand to include select vehicles from Hyundai brands like Genesis “by the summer.” It now looks like those plans may be ahead of schedule. Since launching in 2020, Apple’s digital car key feature has only been available on a handful of BMW models.
