Overview
- New BE 6 and XEV 9e units ship from November with Wallet-based lock, unlock and start, while existing eSUVs will receive the feature via phased service-centre software updates.
- Initial compatibility covers Galaxy Z and S series launched after 2020, and Samsung says A-series support is planned.
- Keys are secured in Samsung Wallet by Knox, require biometric or PIN verification, and can be remotely locked or erased via Samsung Find if a device is lost or stolen.
- Communication relies on NFC and UWB depending on phone and vehicle, and Samsung claims NFC can function using residual power even when the phone’s main battery is drained.
- Mahindra owners have had digital keys through the Me4U app; adding Samsung Wallet brings easier access within Galaxy devices and enables time-limited key sharing.
