What is Hyundai Digital Key?

From SmartSense advanced safety features to Bluelink® connected car services, Hyundai continues to push the limits of automotive innovation, and Hyundai Digital Key is the next step in the automaker’s evolution. This new technology bridges the gap between vehicle and smartphone, allowing Iowa drivers to unlock their doors, start their car or SUV, and create driver presets, all from their compatible phone.

You can even share your digital key with someone else! Take a ride with Vern Eide Hyundai Sioux City as we explore Hyundai Digital Key, its components, and its functionality.

How Does Hyundai Digital Key Work?

Hyundai Digital Key employs Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to access certain vehicle operations. NFC is used for security purposes, as it requires a closer proximity between your smartphone and the system’s reader, preventing others from entering or starting your vehicle. So how does it work?

Digital Key is available for Samsung, Google, and Apple devices and can be set up using the MyHyundai with Bluelink app or by visiting owners.hyundaiusa.com.
