Samsung Wallet now unlocks some GM cars

Users of Samsung devices in the US and Canada can now lock, unlock, and start select GM vehicles using a digital key stored in Samsung Wallet. This initial support will apply to selected 2026 and 2027 Cadillac EV models, including the Lyriq, Optic, and Vistiq, with more models promised by the end of 2026.

## Why it matters This integration marks a significant advancement in the convergence of mobile technology and the automotive industry, creating a smoother and more modern experience for drivers. Additionally, the feature is not exclusive to Samsung Wallet, as it is also expected to be available in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, broadening its accessibility.

## What we know GM has confirmed that this digital key feature will first be available in selected Cadillac models and will extend to certain GMC and Chevy trucks in December. This indicates a progressive approach toward digitization in the automotive sector, aligning with the trend of electric and connected vehicles.

## What’s still unclear It remains unclear whether compatibility will extend to all Samsung devices or if there will be limitations on specific models that can use this feature. Furthermore, it is unknown if there will be differences in the user experience across the various digital wallet platforms.
