Overview
What is Digital Key?
section
Digital Key allows your Hyundai vehicle to be unlocked, locked, and started with your phone. You can even send someone a “shared key” from clear across the country. With Digital Key, you unlock the car by holding your smartphone against the driver-door handle. Once inside, just place the phone in the wireless charging tray, push the start button and go.

Getting Started
section

Your Hyundai vehicle comes with two proximity keys, which provide passive entry and keyless start ability, but with Digital Key, you won’t need them to operate the car. You can also purchase an NFC Card Key that can fit inside a billfold, and substitute for your phone for valet services, leaving the vehicle to be serviced, or use in case your phone runs out of power.

Possibly the most useful Digital Key feature is the ability to enable vehicle operating access to family or friends at any time. They key is shared by visiting Apple Wallet or Samsung Pass app then sharing a key to a contact using the messaging app. When they accept, they can operate your vehicle. You can have up to three Shared Keys, and the primary and secondary users can set up their own presets for driver-seat and mirror position, climate, audio preferences and more. As the primary user, you can control when a Shared Key can be used. You can also end a Shared Key’s capability at any time by using Apple Wallet or Samsung Pass app. Hyundai Digital Key is currently compatible with select Samsung and iPhone phones. Check with your device manufacturer for specific device and software requirements.
