The integration went into effect last month, and was flagged Monday (Oct. 9) in a report on the website MacRumors. It applies to select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicle models, with other General Motors (GM) models to follow eventually, that report said.

Apple Wallet’s car key feature lets a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch act as a vehicle’s car key. GM said supported vehicles will automatically unlock as drivers approach and lock when they walk away.

The service also lets users pop the vehicle’s trunk and switch on or turn off the climate control system from the Apple Wallet app, though GM hasn’t stopped with just Apple.

“GM’s digital key allows you to easily unlock and drive your GM vehicle by adding a version of your vehicle’s physical key to your digital wallet on a compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy device,” the car company’s news release said. “It’s that simple.”

The news follows reports from February that Apple was extending the car keys feature to Toyota vehicles.
