Samsung Wallet now allows users in the US and Canada to lock, unlock, and start select General Motors vehicles using a digital key. Support begins on specific 2026 and 2027 Cadillac electric vehicles, including the Lyriq, Optic, and Vistiq models. GM stated that additional models will be supported by the end of 2026.

Digital keys are also coming to select GMC and Chevy trucks in December. The feature is not exclusive to Samsung Wallet; it will also arrive on Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for compatible iPhones, Apple Watches, and Pixel devices. Customers will receive a notification in their vehicle’s mobile app when support becomes available.

With the digital key enabled, users can automatically unlock their car door as they approach and lock it again as they walk away. The keys can be shared with others and suspended or deleted if a device is stolen. Only Samsung Galaxy devices equipped with both ultra-wideband and Bluetooth Low Energy technology are supported.
