Samsung Wallet will turn your phone into a key for your Audi

Audi Samsung

Samsung and Audi have partnered up to allow the Samsung Wallet app on your phone to unlock select Audi cars, even if you don’t have the physical key with you. The app also lets you open the trunk and start the car, so you can leave the fob at home.

This opens up new possibilities too – you can let friends and family borrow your car by sharing a digital key with them. The system meets the EAL6+ security standard and requires biometric or PIN-based authentication to use.

If you lose your phone (or your friends lose theirs), you can go into the Samsung Find service and lock or delete digital keys to prevent them from being used to access the car.

The keyless entry functionality will be available in the Samsung Wallet app in Europe later this month (United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Switzerland). The global rollout will be “aligned with the launch timeline of Audi vehicles”, whatever that means.

Speaking of, supported vehicles include the Audi A6 e-tron series, the Q6 e-tron series and the Audi A5 series. Future Audi models will also have this feature.

As for what phone you’ll need, Galaxy S phones since 2020 are supported (since 2022, if you have an S FE model), all Galaxy Z Flip foldables (except the original 4G model) and all Galaxy Z Fold phones since the Z Fold2. The Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra will work as well. It’s important that they are running Android 13 or newer.
