Great Wall Motor’s Haval Prepares For Apple Car Key Support

Apple continues to quietly build out the backend framework for its digital car keys. The technology giant recently updated its internal code to include references to another popular Chinese automotive brand. According to recent discoveries within the Wallet app's backend, Apple is preparing to launch Car Key support for Haval, a brand owned by Great Wall Motor.



Haval owners could soon unlock their vehicles with an iPhone



This latest development follows a similar discovery made just weeks ago when backend code pointed to upcoming support for GWM's Tank vehicles. While Haval already offers traditional CarPlay support across several of its models, none of them currently utilize Apple's dedicated digital key system.

The Car Key feature allows drivers to completely replace their physical fob. Users can lock, unlock, and even start their compatible vehicles using just their phone or smartwatch.



While the exact rollout timeline remains unclear, the backend changes suggest an official launch could be right around the corner.
