Creating a digital key

The car's owner can create a new digital key at any time in the mobile app for the car.

 Note

If you're not the owner

If you're not the car's owner, you can't create your own digital key. You need to ask the owner to share their digital key with you instead.

Digital key availability

Some devices might not be compatible with the digital key. If you're not sure if your device supports digital keys, check with your phone's manufacturer.

Before starting to set up a digital key, make sure that:
  • your car is updated to software version 1.5.2 or later
  • the car is stationary
  • all of the doors are closed
  • you have connectivity in both your car and your phone
  • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
  • you have a valid key with you, such as a key fob or key card
Open the mobile app for your car and start the guide.
If pairing is successful, your digital key appears in your phone's wallet app.

 Tip

Activation link

If you have received an activation link via email, you can also use this link to start the setup process.

Sharing a key

As the owner, you can share keys with your family and friends. Open your digital key in your phone's wallet app to find the sharing option.

 Tip

Moving key to another device

You can move an existing digital key to another device via the display by accessing the profile settings, selecting the owner profile and then selecting the option to change device.

 Note

To share your digital key, the person you share it with needs to have the same brand of phone. Their phone also needs to be compatible with the digital key.
