My expectation is that only other requirement will be the iOS CarKey capability and updated CD app.

Don't forget this is an existing subscription model that exists for physical digital keys and android, and is merely now being extended to include an additional vendor. Once the the iPhone and car can talk to each other, the service should work the same as the other digital keys.
Sounds logical to me.
