Code found in the iOS 27 beta indicates Apple may be preparing to add Apple Wallet car key support for two additional automakers: Lucid Motors and Xiaomi. Both outlets point to references in the beta, including identifiers associated with “LCID” and “XIA1,” which they link to Lucid and Xiaomi respectively. If Apple Wallet car keys are enabled for these brands, drivers would be able to use an iPhone or Apple Watch to perform functions such as locking, unlocking, and starting a compatible vehicle, reducing reliance on a traditional key fob.
Lucid has reportedly been included in a broader list of brands Apple said would “soon” gain car key support at WWDC 2025, alongside multiple other automakers. Apple did not specify an exact rollout timeline at that event, and Lucid has not publicly confirmed when the feature would arrive for its Air or Gravity models.
Xiaomi’s inclusion appears to be new, with no prior indication in the sources that Apple Wallet car keys would extend to the company’s electric vehicles. The sources also note that similar beta-code references have preceded official announcements for other brands, but the presence of the code still does not confirm specific models or a release date.
