Porsche vehicles are set to gain advanced digital key capabilities through Samsung Wallet, allowing owners to seamlessly unlock and start their cars using compatible Galaxy smartphones.

The Digital Key feature, leveraging secure UWB or NFC technology, is scheduled for an initial rollout in Europe during December, with a global expansion to follow in alignment with Porsche's vehicle launch timelines.

Compatible Samsung devices include models as far back as the Galaxy S20 series. The system also offers robust security features, such as the ability to remotely lock or delete digital keys if a phone is lost or stolen, providing peace of mind to users.
