Overview:

The 2022 GV60 is the first Genesis model to include Genesis Digital Key 2, which allows the GV60 to be unlocked, locked, and started with your iPhone or select Samsung Devices.  The system also allows the primary user to share Digital Key access with three other users.  You can actually send someone a “shared key” from clear across the country.

With Digital Key 2, you unlock the car by holding your smartphone against the driver-door handle. Once inside, just place the phone in the wireless charging tray, push the start button and go.  If your mobile device supports Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), allows owners to unlock and start their car while leaving the device in your pocket or bag.  It is recommended they you leave your mobile phone in your front pocket for best results.  To trigger a remote command, open Apple Wallet or Samsung pass, select the car key you would like to connect to an Genesis Digital Key is currently compatible with select Samsung and iPhone phones. Check with your device manufacturer for specific device and software requirements.

You still get two proximity keys with the GV60, which provide passive entry and keyless start ability, but with Digital Key 2, you won’t need them to operate the car.  You will also receive an NFC Card Key that can fit inside a billfold, and substitute for your phone for valet services, leaving the GV60 to be serviced, or use in case your phone runs out of power.

Possibly the most useful Digital Key feature is the ability to enable vehicle operating access to family or friends at any time.  They key is shared by visiting Apple Wallet or Samsung Pass app then sharing a key to a contact using the messaging app.  When they accept, they can operate your GV60. You can have up to three Shared Keys, and the primary and secondary users can set up their own presets for driver-seat and mirror position, climate, audio preferences and more.  As the primary user, you can control when a Shared Key can be used.  You can also end a Shared Key’s capability at any time by using Apple Wallet or Samsung Pass app.

Making its debut on the GV60, Genesis Digital Key 2 is the latest advance in vehicle & smartphone integration, and can be expected as a feature on future newly introduced or redesigned Genesis models.
