The expansion of Apple Car Keys support to Haval vehicles signifies a growing integration of smart technology in the automotive industry, offering consumers more convenient and secure access to their vehicles through their Apple devices. This development highlights Apple's ongoing efforts to enhance the ecosystem and promote seamless connectivity between cars and personal devices, potentially influencing industry standards and consumer expectations.

Key Takeaways

Following recent backend code changes pointing to Car Keys support for GWM’s Tank vehicles, Apple now appears to be preparing to expand the feature to another of the automaker’s brands. Here are the details.

Car Keys in Apple Wallet reportedly coming to Haval vehicles

A few weeks ago, Apple added backend references indicating that GWM’s Tank vehicles could soon support Car Keys in Apple Wallet, which allows users to lock, unlock, and start compatible vehicles using an iPhone or Apple Watch.

Now, as spotted by Aaron Perris on X, similar references have appeared for Haval, another brand owned by the same Chinese automaker:

When support launches, compatible Haval vehicles will join more than 50 models that already work with Car Keys, including vehicles from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Toyota, and Rivian.
