Apple PassKey - WWDC 2019

Apple launched new PassKey at WWDC 2019 conference yesterday that should allow iPhone users to have the digital key on their phones.

I don't expect anything before end of the year before BMW allow integration!

They won't have any idea yet, whatever they tell you at the dealership will be wrong at best.

They didn't mention this on the keynote but it was only 2 hours long so they can't mention everything new.

I think it makes sense to implement this in a new os so best guess is September and hopefully BMW is ready with updated software at that time.

It doesn't really matter, but just to clarify, the API is called PassKit not PassKey.

I hope BMW is aware of this so they can start working on it.

Considering the observed software quality, pretty sure BMW is, in fact, working on [COLOR="DarkRed"]PassKey[/COLOR] compatibility

You would think that they would adopt such software advances quickly to ensure they stay ahead of competition but importantly do away with issuing multiple keys to owners and transfer the cost save to us!

Of course QA is paramount in this which them have failed on todate.
