The KeyConnect Digital Car Key app transforms your smartphone into a secure digital car key. This innovative solution replaces traditional physical keys, allowing you to lock/unlock your vehicle, arm/disarm the security system, and even start your engine from up to 50 feet away using Bluetooth technology.

Designed primarily for owners of compatible vehicles with KeyConnect integration, this app offers enhanced convenience and security. It eliminates the hassle of misplacing physical keys, provides remote vehicle access, and offers peace of mind with features like automatic locking after driving away and geofence alerts.

App Features

Remote Lock/Unlock: Quickly lock or unlock your car from anywhere within Bluetooth range, eliminating the need to physically handle keys. This feature solves the common problem of being locked out, especially useful when you’re in a hurry or carrying items.
Engine Start/Stop: Simply tap your phone to start your vehicle without manually inserting a key, significantly speeding up your morning routine. This functionality works reliably even in extreme weather conditions for improved accessibility.

Multiple Keyholders: Assign digital keys to several trusted individuals with unique permissions and access levels, simplifying vehicle sharing for families, car services, or valets. This feature streamlines household management by eliminating key duplication while maintaining security.
Emergency Features: Lock your car remotely if you forget something inside or suspect theft, providing an immediate security response. This functionality allows you to quickly secure your vehicle during roadside assistance visits or when unexpected visitors arrive.
