Apple Car Keys reportedly coming to three more automakers

Apple is reportedly set to expand Car Key support in Apple Wallet to include Lincoln, Freelander, and Lucid, three additional automakers, according to recent reports. However, the exact timeline for this integration remains unclear, as backend changes typically only indicate future support without specifying launch dates. The identification of which specific vehicles within these brands will be supported by the feature has also not been disclosed by Apple at this time.

This development follows a series of similar backend updates hinting at forthcoming Car Key support from other automakers. In July, Apple detected references related to GWM's Tank vehicles alongside Haval, both brands belonging to the same Chinese automaker. Previously, Apple had announced that Lucid would adopt Car Key, along with a roster of other brands such as Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Porsche, and Rivian.

Introduced at the 2020 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple Car Key enables users to lock, unlock, and start compatible vehicles using their iPhone or Apple Watch, with varying support across different automakers and models.

Currently, Apple Car Key is compatible with over 50 vehicle models from renowned brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Toyota, and Rivian.
