Overview
- Aaron Perris spotted Toyota added to Apple’s internal list of Car Key partners, signaling Apple-side readiness.
- No rollout date, regional availability, or model compatibility has been disclosed by Toyota.
- Consumer use will require Toyota’s own firmware, app, and server updates along with an official announcement.
- Toyota already offers a separate Digital Key through its Remote Connect package, which could coexist with Apple’s system.
- The finding aligns with Apple’s broader expansion of digital car keys, as GM just confirmed plans to add Wallet keys and Apple previously said 13 brands would join.
