Samsung India has announced car key support for Mahindra Electric SUVs in Samsung Wallet. Mahindra Group is the first Indian original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to integrate the Digital Car Key feature with Samsung Wallet. This feature has been available in global markets from high-end Auto OEMs like BMW, Audi, and more.
With car key support for Mahindra Electric SUVs in Samsung Wallet, users can make use of their Galaxy smartphones to unlock, lock, and start their vehicles. Built directly into Galaxy devices, Samsung Wallet’s Digital Car Key lets users lock, unlock and start the paired vehicle without a physical key.
Users can also share their Digital Car Key with friends and family for limited time period, managing access as needed. Should a device containing a Digital Car Key be misplaced or stolen, users can remotely lock their device or delete their data including the Digital Car key via the Samsung Find service, further safeguarding their vehicles.
