Volkswagen Expands Digital Key Access to Samsung Wallet for Select EVs

Volkswagen is rolling out a new Digital Key feature that lets owners of certain VW ID electric vehicles in Europe add their car’s key to Samsung Wallet. The move allows drivers to unlock and start their cars with a simple tap of their phone, offering a hands‑free entry experience that could streamline daily commutes and reduce reliance on physical key fobs. While the feature is currently limited to a subset of models, it signals Volkswagen’s push toward integrated, mobile‑first vehicle access. The company has not yet disclosed how long the rollout will take or whether the service will expand beyond Europe.
