Drive with Your Phone: A Quick Guide to Android's Digital Car Key

Android’s digital car key lets compatible phones unlock (and in some cases start) your car using Google Wallet over Bluetooth, UWB, or NFC. Setup varies by car maker but generally requires an up-to-date Android device (Android 12+) and a Google account. The system offers stronger security than traditional fobs and can be shared, but losing the phone or having weak device security increases risk, so keep a physical backup key, enable biometric authentication, and consider disabling passive entry.

The feature is currently limited to the newest Model 3 and 2023 Model X, with plans to extend support to other models in the future.
