Users can now use a Digital Key for access to a wide range of Volkswagen electric vehicles. This update simplifies vehicle operation, allowing users to ditch physical keys entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Supported Volkswagen Models and Requirements<\/p>\n<p>The new feature is designed for owners of ID series electric vehicles. The list of compatible models includes: ID. Polo, ID. Cross, ID.3neo, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7, and ID. Buzz. A key requirement is the vehicle software: it must run on ID. software version 6.0.1 or higher.<\/p>\n<p>The function applies to cars manufactured on or after April 27, 2026. Additionally, the electric vehicle must be equipped with the optional \u201cPreparation for Digital Key\u201d hardware package.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung Digital Key Features<\/p>\n<p>The technology allows users to lock, unlock, and start their car engine using a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. For maximum convenience, two data transmission standards are implemented:<\/p>\n<p>UWB (Ultra-Wideband) \u2014 for hands-free access.<br \/>\nNFC \u2014 for quick unlocking and starting by tapping the phone against the sensor.<\/p>\n<p>A remote trunk release feature (Remote Key Entry) is also included.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"820\" height=\"405\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u0418\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0444\u0435\u0439\u0441 \u0446\u0438\u0444\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430 Samsung\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hi-tech.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e0bcf64452fab270e78aaf45e8cec5.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"820\" height=\"405\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hi-tech.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e0bcf64452fab270e78aaf45e8cec5.webp\" alt=\"\u0418\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0444\u0435\u0439\u0441 \u0446\u0438\u0444\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430 Samsung\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Security and Access Management<\/p>\n<p>Security is a core aspect of the new development. Samsung digital keys meet the international EAL6+ security standard. They are securely stored directly on the mobile device and protected by the proprietary Samsung Knox platform.<\/p>\n<p>Car owners can securely share access to their vehicle via the Samsung Wallet app, granting rights to trusted individuals for a limited time. In case of smartphone loss or theft, the user can promptly lock or completely remove the digital key via the Samsung Find service, preventing unauthorized third-party access to the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"subscriptions-title\">Don&#8217;t miss interesting news<\/p>\n<p class=\"subscriptions-subtitle\">Subscribe to our channels and read announcements of high-tech news, tes<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung has officially announced an expansion of its Samsung Wallet app features.
