You no longer need others to use the same phone OS to share your digital car keys<\/a>. Google has added<\/a> car key sharing to Pixel devices<\/a>, making cross-platform swaps available in an early form. If you’re using an iPhone running iOS 16.1, you can send keys stored in Wallet to a Pixel through communications apps like Mail, Messages and WhatsApp. Pixel users share their car access through Android’s wallet app.<\/p>\n

Google plans to expand sharing to more phones using Android 12 or newer. Only a handful of car makers currently support digital car keys, including BMW<\/a> and Hyundai brands<\/a> that include Genesis and Kia. Some cars may require that you activate through a physical key or code, while others might ask you to start the process through the vehicle’s infotainment screen.<\/p>\n

On phones with ultra-wideband, such as many recent iPhones and larger Galaxy S21\/S22 models, you can unlock your car without taking the phone out of your pocket or using a smartwatch.<\/p>\n

While there’s no timeline for when this might happen, the appeal is clear. You could lend your car to a friend for the weekend regardless of the phone they use, and without handing over a fob. That could be crucial as car ownership declines<\/a> and people are more likely to borrow vehicles than rent or use ridesharing services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
