This is like keyless access, only instead of a key fob, it's a gadget in your pocket with an installed app. In addition to personal convenience, the car owner can grant access to the car to others, remotely and for a specific period of time. To do this, you need to send a digital key to another person.
Among other things, you can track the car's location using a smartphone. Can you turn off the engine at a distance when, for example, criminals have stolen the car? The Swedes are not yet answering this and some other questions, claiming that they are currently testing the technology and improving the functions.
It is worth noting that Volvo owes the use of a smartphone as a key to its compatriots from Ericsson, who actually developed this technology. By the way, they note that if the phone is discharged, you won't open the car. In this case, you need to have a regular factory key fob.
