It’s almost two years since Apple launched CarKey, and it’s only now that it’s rolling out beyond BMW, it seems.
If you’ve missed it, it’s mighty clever. With selected cars, such as BMW 5 Series, you can unlock the vehicle by touching your iPhone or Apple Watch on the car. You can use the same mechanism to start the engine, too. Oh, and you can share the digital car keys with others via iMessage, and easily cancel the key, too.
You can even start your car for up to five hours after the iPhone runs out of battery, which is pretty cool. Get in, start the car and then recharge your iPhone battery as you drive! Oh, and the functionality also works with Apple Watch and you can set Express Mode so you don’t even need to take your iPhone out of your pocket or press a button on your Watch for the magic to happen.
All very well, except the range of cars in which you can use this tech seemed to have stalled worse than a learner practicing a hill start. That’s not quite fair, but it seemed that unless you had one of a small set of vehicles, you had no prospect of using it.
