Last June, Apple announced that 13 vehicle brands had committed to supporting Car Keys in the Wallet app.
After a longer-than-expected wait, two makers on that list have now launched support:
• Toyota began offering Apple Wallet car keys in February with the 2026 RAV4.
• Rivian introduced Car Key support in late December for its second-generation R1S and R1T.
Several other major automakers now appear to be close behind.

Why?
Because some people only want to carry a phone and not a key fob too.
I don’t understand it either, but those people do exist — and, apparently in great enough numbers to get Apple and auto manufacturers to get on board with it.
