Once inside the vehicle, Samsung’s Digital Key allows drivers to start their vehicles without using their physical keys or even removing their smartphone 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.
The integration of the Mercedes-Benz Digital Key with Samsung Wallet is also backed by Galaxy’s commitment to ensuring a safe, secure and reliable mobile experience for users.

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.
