At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Keyvault introduced, universal digital car key, a groundbreaking innovation set to redefine car access. The K1, a compact device that transforms smartphones into secure, all-in-one digital car keys, promises to eliminate the need for traditional keys. Compatible with nearly all U.S. vehicles sold since 2008, the K1 offers unparalleled convenience, security, and accessibility to drivers across the nation.
How the K1 Works
The K1 leverages cutting-edge technologies to create a seamless and secure driving experience. Equipped with Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, multi-factor authentication, and military-grade encryption, the device ensures maximum protection against hacking and unauthorized access.
Drivers simply install the device in their car and connect it to their smartphone via the Keyvault app. Once synced, the phone doubles as a car key, allowing users to unlock, start, and share access to their vehicles.
Why the K1 Stands Out
Keyvault’s K1 sets itself apart from brand-specific digital key systems by being universally compatible. It works with a wide range of vehicles, from economy cars to luxury SUVs, making it an inclusive solution for modern drivers.
Key features include:
- Universal Compatibility: Works with nearly all vehicles sold in the U.S. since 2008.
- Real-Time Insights: The Keyvault app provides live updates on fuel levels, engine health, and vehicle location.
- Secure Sharing: Share digital keys instantly and monitor usage through the app.
- Affordable Pricing: Available for pre-order at $379, down from the original $519.
Addressing Everyday Challenges
The K1 solves real-world problems faced by drivers:
- No More Lost Keys: With smartphones acting as keys, drivers eliminate the need to carry physical keys.
- Enhanced Security: Military-grade encryption and multi-factor authentication ensure peace of mind.
- Simplified Sharing: Families, car rental businesses, and fleet managers can share access effortlessly.
Applications for All Drivers
The K1 is designed for everyone—from families to businesses. Parents can monitor teen driving habits, while car rental companies can streamline operations with digital key-sharing features. Elderly drivers benefit from simplified access, and everyday drivers enjoy the convenience of modern connectivity.
