Unlocking your car door with your iPhone or Apple Watch is so far only possible for the owners of a few BMW models. Unveiled nearly two years ago, the CarKey system is still struggling to sign up carmakers. Nevertheless, Hyundai, through its premium brand Genesis, should soon offer this system to its customers, according to a Bloomberg report.

The principle of CarKey allows you to add your key, in digital form, in the Wallet app of your iPhone. Once the pairing of the iPhone and the car is completed, you can then open your door, simply by placing the phone near the handle.
