During this year’s WWDC, Apple confirmed that 13 new automakers had committed to adopting the Apple Wallet car key feature. Now, it looks like a handful of them may be close to flipping the switch.
As spotted by MacRumors, Apple has recently added backend car key support for GM vehicles:
“Car key support for select General Motors vehicles could be added to the Apple Wallet app in the near future, according to code discovered by MacRumors. Apple has added settings for GM vehicles to an internal list of vehicles that offer car key integration.”
Today’s discovery follows several earlier findings from Aaron Perris, who noted on X in recent weeks that Apple had also added backend code for Rivian, Smart, and Voyah vehicles.
However, Apple’s backend work alone doesn’t enable the feature, as automakers still need to do some work on their end. Still, the new entries in Apple’s code suggest the rollout could be getting close.
For GM specifically, support will cover Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC, though it’s still unclear which models will work with the car key feature.
Alongside Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Rivian, Smart, and Voyah, the 13 newly supported brands also include Acura, Chery, Hongqi, Lucid, Porsche, Tata, and WEY.
