As Apple continues expanding Car Keys support across the auto industry, the feature now appears to be headed to select vehicles from a major Chinese automaker. Here are the details.
As spotted by MacRumors, new backend code suggests Apple could soon expand Car Keys in Apple Wallet support to GWM’s Tank vehicles.
Several GWM models already support Apple CarPlay, including the Tank 300, Tank 400, Tank 500, and Tank 700, in addition to vehicles sold under its Haval, Ora, Wey, and Poer brands.
However, none currently support Car Keys, which lets drivers use an iPhone or Apple Watch to lock, unlock, and start a compatible vehicle.
Today’s news comes just days after new backend code suggested that Car Keys support would also come to Volkswagen vehicles, as Apple continues expanding the feature following recent launches from Toyota and Rivian.
In 2025, Apple announced that 13 additional vehicle brands would adopt Car Keys, including GWM-owned Wey, alongside Acura, Cadillac, Chery, Chevrolet, GMC, Hongqi, Lucid, Porsche, Rivian, Smart, Tata Motors, and Voyah.
According to Apple’s website, there are currently more than 800 car models that support CarPlay, 52 of which also currently support the Car Keys feature. For the full compatibility list, follow this link.
