LAKE FOREST, Calif. — Kwikset, a registered trademark of ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc., an ASSA ABLOY Group Company, has announced a smart lock integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The new functionality extends the convenience of the Kwikset app to the car, providing key-free access before drivers step out of their vehicle.
With the Kwikset app, users can control compatible Kwikset smart locks using their vehicle’s display. Once a smartphone is connected to the vehicle, either wired or wirelessly, the Kwikset app appears alongside other supported apps, allowing users to select their home and tap to lock or unlock their door.
“Homeowners want simple, convenient ways to manage access to their homes, especially during everyday moments like arriving in the driveway,” said Anujothi Dinakaran, software product manager at Kwikset at Kwikset. “By bringing the Kwikset app to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, we are extending smart lock control to the car and giving users an easy way to unlock or secure their door before they step outside.”
Compatible locks connected through the Kwikset app appear automatically within the vehicle interface, allowing homeowners to view and manage multiple homes and locks from one place. Access through CarPlay and Android Auto is available to homeowners and administrators connected to the Kwikset app.
