As automotive technology evolves, Hyundai remains at the forefront with innovative features that enhance convenience and security. Among these advancements are the Hyundai Digital Key and Hyundai Digital Key 2. Both systems, now available at Crain Hyundai of Bentonville, offer a high level of control over your vehicle, but they come with distinct differences. Here’s a closer look at what sets them apart.

Hyundai Digital Key

The Hyundai Digital Key is a groundbreaking feature that allows drivers to use their smartphones as a key. This system provides several benefits, making it easier to manage your vehicle without needing a physical key. 

Here’s what you can expect from the original Hyundai Digital Key:

Smartphone Integration
Hyundai Digital Key uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to allow your smartphone to unlock, start, and drive your Hyundai vehicle. Simply place your phone near the door handle to unlock the car and in the wireless charging pad to start the engine.

Sharing Access
Through the Hyundai Digital Key app, you can share access to your vehicle with up to three other people. This feature is handy for families or shared cars.

Convenience
Forget fumbling for your keys. With the Hyundai Digital Key, your smartphone becomes the key, streamlining your daily routine and reducing the risk of losing or forgetting your car keys.

Hyundai Digital Key 2

Building on the foundation of the original Hyundai Digital Key, the Hyundai Digital Key 2 introduces several enhancements that offer even greater convenience and security. 

Here’s what’s new with Hyundai Digital Key 2:

Enhanced Connectivity
While the original Hyundai Digital Key relies on NFC, the Hyundai Digital Key 2 incorporates Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This allows for a more seamless and secure connection between your smartphone and vehicle.

Proximity-Based Features
With UWB technology, Hyundai Digital Key 2 can detect your proximity to the vehicle, enabling hands-free access. As you approach your car, it will automatically unlock, and as you walk away, it will lock itself. This feature adds an extra layer of convenience and security.

More Control
Hyundai Digital Key 2 offers additional control features through the Hyundai Digital Key app. You can remotely start your vehicle, adjust climate settings, and even check the status of your doors, windows, and trunk from your smartphone.

Wider Compatibility
Hyundai Digital Key 2 is designed to work with a broader range of smartphones and operating systems, ensuring more drivers can use this cutting-edge technology.

Which One is Right for You?

Choosing between Hyundai Digital Key and Hyundai Digital Key 2 depends on your needs and the model of your Hyundai vehicle. While the original Hyundai Digital Key provides robust functionality, the Hyundai Digital Key 2 offers enhanced connectivity, security, and convenience, making it an attractive option for those who want the latest and greatest on the market.
