Hyundai Digital Key turns a compatible smartphone or smartwatch into another way to access and start an equipped vehicle. Depending on the vehicle and device, the technology can make it easier to lock, unlock, start, and drive without reaching for a physical key fob. To see how it works, talk to the team at Blaise Alexander Hyundai of Altoona.
Hyundai Digital Key, Explained
There’s less need to rely on a physical key or fob with Hyundai Digital Key. Depending on your vehicle and compatible device, the system lets you use your smartphone or smartwatch to access and start your Hyundai vehicle. Setup varies by Digital Key version, vehicle, and device, with newer Digital Key 2 systems using the MyHyundai app and a compatible smartphone wallet. Hyundai first introduced Digital Key on the 2020 Sonata, so the technology can be found on select new and pre-owned Hyundai models.
Digital Key functionality also varies by system. Digital Key 2 Touch uses near-field communication, requiring you to hold your compatible device near the driver's door handle for entry. Newer compatible systems can use ultra-wideband technology for more seamless vehicle access without the same tap-to-unlock process.
Benefits of Hyundai Digital Key
In addition to locking, unlocking, starting, and driving an equipped vehicle, Hyundai Digital Key can offer other convenient features. Compatible systems can associate the Digital Key with personalized settings for items such as the driver's seat, mirrors, climate, and audio preferences. You can also share Digital Key access with up to three other users, making it easier to give a friend or family member access without handing over your physical key. Shared access can also be managed or revoked when it is no longer needed.
