Samsung will soon add the Digital Car Key feature to the Samsung Wallet app for users in India. In the initial phase, the Digital Car Key feature will be compatible with select Mahindra Electric SUVs.

The feature will allow users to share their digital key with their friends and family for a limited period of time. Their access to the vehicle can be managed through the Samsung Wallet app.
If your phone with the Digital Key is lost or misplaced, users can remotely lock their phones, delete their data, and the Digital Car Key using the Samsung Find service. For security, you can lock the Samsung Wallet with biometric or PIN-based user authentication support.
