After launching in 2020, Apple’s Digital Car Key feature has been only available on a handful of BMW models. As speculated by a lot of industry experts, Apple updated their CarPlay website to indicate that the 2022 Genesis GV60, 2022 G90, and 2022 Kia Niro now support the feature.

It’s unclear if this feature was already available on those cars or if Hyundai is now in the process of rolling it out for the masses. A Kia spokesperson said they would have more information about Digital Key availability in the coming weeks.
While a lot of other car manufacturers have offered remote lock controls through smartphones for a while now. CarKey is different as It treats your iPhone and Apple Watch as a physical key so you simply bring your device to your car’s handle to unlock.

With a lot of new iPhones that come with Apple’s U1 chip, you don’t even need to remove your iPhone from your pocket to access the car.
