Apple’s digital car key rollout just reached another major luxury automaker, as Porsche now officially supports Apple Wallet car keys on its latest electric vehicles, giving drivers a faster way to lock, unlock, and start their cars using an iPhone or Apple Watch.
The feature is now available on the 2026 Porsche Macan Electric, while the upcoming 2026 Cayenne Electric will gain support when deliveries begin later this year. Porsche had already confirmed support for Apple’s car key system, but the feature only started appearing widely after the Macan EV became available in more markets.

Apple’s Wallet car key system has expanded slowly since launch, but momentum picked up over the past year as brands like Toyota and Rivian added support. Porsche now joins that growing list, while General Motors still has not rolled out support for Chevrolet, Cadillac, or GMC despite earlier promises.
Porsche explains the feature in its official support documentation:
“The Porsche Digital Key is a digital car key on your mobile device that you can use to lock, unlock and start your Porsche conveniently and securely. You can also share the digital key securely with others, making access easy and flexible.”
The company says the feature works with compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, and Android devices, though users must first complete several setup requirements, including an active Porsche ID, Porsche Connect services, Bluetooth enabled, and the physical key inside the vehicle during setup.
Which Porsche models support Apple Wallet car key?
Right now, Porsche supports the feature on:
- 2026 Porsche Macan Electric
- 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric
Porsche also notes that the Macan Electric requires the “Porsche Digital Key” equipment option, while the Cayenne Electric includes it as standard equipment.
The expansion gives Apple Wallet another high-profile automotive partner as digital keys continue becoming a bigger part of connected car features.
