The innovation of new Mercedes-Benz models is evident in their many thoughtful features, such as the Mercedes-Benz Digital Vehicle Key. The feature allows you to use your smartphone instead of a physical key. Mercedes-Benz of Jacksonville shares a closer look at how it works.
Mercedes-Benz Digital Vehicle Key Overview
The Mercedes-Benz Digital Vehicle Key lets you lock, unlock, and start compatible Mercedes-Benz vehicles using your compatible smartphone instead of a physical key. After completing the initial setup through the Mercedes-Benz app, your digital key is securely stored in your smartphone’s digital wallet for convenient access. Built on standards established by the Car Connectivity Consortium, the Digital Vehicle Key is designed with advanced security features to help protect your vehicle and your personal information.
How it Works
Multiple digital keys can be shared with family members or other authorized drivers, and the primary user can manage each person’s access permissions. As the main user, you can decide if the additional keys will only work to open the vehicle, or to drive it as well. You can also use your multimedia system to decide whether you want the key to only unlock the driver’s door or all doors. If you choose all doors, the other doors will unlock after you’ve opened the driver’s door.
Setting Up
It’s easy to set up your digital key through the Mercedes-Benz app. To start, you must be in your vehicle with the ignition on. Select “Digital Vehicle Key” in the app and click “Setup Your Digital Vehicle Key. Follow the prompts to add the Digital Vehicle Key to your compatible smartphone’s digital wallet. Then, you’ll need to place your smartphone on the wireless charging tray and then click “Confirm”.
