Cool, but why isn't it available for Wear OS, and why don't any Pixel Watches have UWB?

4 months later, Pixel 8 Pro still doesn't have support for digital car key, on their site it says "Support for Pixel 8 Pro coming soon".

Which vehicles? Is this through Android Auto? How can we use this feature or is it just teasing a future update?

With an invention like this, more people are going to be screaming and parking lots yelling "dude, Where's my car"

Which brands will be able to do this??

I have a car with this option, but despite the fact that I have android 14 on my xperia 1 V, it tells me in my VW application that my mobile phone is incompatible. Also impossible to find on Wallet the option to add the mobile key! Can you tell me what the problem is? THANKS.

I've already done this with Tasker and a Raspberry Pi

Seriously, pressing 2 different buttons twice eqch is too much work?

[brodyrobloxyt]

but why would you want to when the car that uses your phone unlocking thing can do it with its own smart key/key

[mattypants]

Dont most cars have this already in some form. Id still want a keyfob required to actually drive the car.

So we have a key clone device in our pocket?

[BRIDGETTWC]

It's me again LOL, I did find some other key unlocking apps for the car but they charge you 70 bucks. Is this app on Android free? I wonder if it allows it to 2015 Chrysler 200

Looks amazing... Just looks very promising for hackers too lol!

There's already enough trouble with old and non-tech literate scammed with APKs masquerading as wedding invitation or games to steal their e-banking account, and now you want them to risk losing their car too? Great job.

Any good car audio shop can get this done 4 major mfg offer it already I used to use a pager set to vibrate to activate R-start.

Digital keys are still very uncommon and only offered in a handful of models. Before digital key technology can be there for the masses there are still a lot of issues that need to be worked out. Don't hold your breath.

[MarcoMorosi]

This uses ultra wide band technology, so it will most likely only be usable with pro pixel phones and other models... How bad..

[philliz]

Most probably for new £$€50, 000+ EV cars😂

And yet another reason to an already plethora of reasons not to loose or break your phone 📱
