Hey Rivian, Any update on the status of rolling out the Apple Wallet based Rivian Car Key for Gen 2 R1S?
So far I've seen nothing as we enter December 2025 (still waiting).

What would be the benefit of this vs just using an iPhone?

It uses a different technology than Bluetooth, so it should be more accurate. Bluetooth cannot determine how close the device is with the same accuracy as UWB can. Basically, it will make PAAK work a lot better than it does now.

Gotcha. That would be great because Bluetooth is quite inconsistent

Anything you see here will be speculation. No official dates have been released.
