Users of selected Galaxy users will now be able to lock, unlock, and start their Mercedes-Benz vehicle from their smartphone.
“We’re excited to bring Mercedes-Benz drivers the incredible convenience that comes with Samsung Digital Key access,” said Woncheol Chai, EVP and Head of the Digital Wallet Team at the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our collaboration with Mercedes-Benz advances our vision of providing effortless access to tech-enabled experiences across the Galaxy ecosystem.”
Samsung Wallet allows Galaxy users to organize digital keys, payment methods, identification cards, and more. Now, with the addition of the Mercedes-Benz digital key to the Samsung Wallet, users can experience a new level of convenience at their fingertips. Once inside the vehicle, Samsung’s Digital Key allows drivers to start their vehicles without using their physical keys or even removing their smartphones from their pockets. They can also securely share the digital key with friends or family through an easy-to-use interface that lets them grant or restrict access as needed.
By utilizing Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technologies, a standardized communication protocol set by the Car Connectivity Consortium, the digital key ensures precise functionality, significantly reducing the risk of unwanted attempts to access the vehicle.
If a device containing the digital key is misplaced or stolen, users can remotely lock or delete their digital keys via the Samsung Find service, further safeguarding their vehicles. With biometric or PIN-based user authentication requirements, Samsung Wallet carefully protects vehicles, ensuring every interaction remains private and secure.
