Apple Wallet's Car Key feature is expanding to include 13 new vehicle brands.

The car key feature enables people to access their cars using the Apple Wallet on their iPhone or Apple Watch. Car keys can unlock compatible vehicles at a distance or nearby, depending on the manufacturer.

The feature has already worked for models created by companies such as Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Lotus, Hyundai, BYD, Audi, and BMW.
