DIGITAL KEY BETA
How do I sign up?
Future model eligibility is not available at this time, @JeffAaronLaw. Moving forward, Cadillac.com and GMC.com will continue to serve as your best resource for updates and new information as it becomes available.

I activated my digital beta test yesterday. The instructions were clear and activation was easy. Once the digital key was added to my Apple Wallet, having my phone with me was exactly the same as having my key with me.
We're glad to hear that activation of your Digital Key was successful and easy. Thank you for sharing your experience here!
I have a 2026 Yukon Denali. I have the Key Card. But, can I beta test the Digital Key so I can use my iPhone as key? I beta test iOS and would love to jump in here.

Hi. I just picked up my 2026 Lyriq premium ev and want to join the digital key group. I did not know this was in beta testing. This is an important feature for me. How do I enroll??

Select the “Add key to device wallet” widget.
- If you don’t see the widget, go to the Controls tab and select the Keys icon, then tap “Add key.”
To continue, make sure:
- Bluetooth is turned on.
- Your phone and key fob are in the vehicle.
- Your vehicle is on and in PARK with the doors closed.
Follow prompts to pair your phone with digital key.
When successful, your key will appear in your device’s wallet.

I also just took delivery of my 26 Lyriq Signature Luxury model and have not been able to figure it out. This is also one of my deciding features for my purchase.

Is there a way to sign up for this on my new 2026?
I'm ready to just return the car if this isn't actually available.My car is 2 weeks old and a I have been told it’s only a beta program and I missed it. I am also pissed off. Terrible since I was provided instructions to enable twice to no avail.
Yea, this seems to be a problem at GMC. I’ve talked to 6-7 people at GMC and every single one of them has a different answer. At one point, I spent 30 minutes on the phone with OnStar for them trying to troubleshoot why I couldn’t activate it cause they thought the feature was already released. They elevated it to a tier 2 technician who research for about a week before telling me, “the feature is not out.” I’ve also spoken to others at GMC who said the feature is not ever gonna be released. So, who knows at this point????
