Hyundai Mobis' card-type car key "Smart Card Key" is gaining sensational popularity in the aftermarket. As soon as it was released at the end of last year, it continued to go viral around various automobile communities, and suffered several out-of-stock chaos, causing perceptual fluctuations in the automobile key ecosystem. Hyundai Mobis has started to expand its application in all directions by simultaneously launching smart card keys in line with the launch of major new cars by Hyundai Motor Group this year.

Hyundai Mobis announced on the 1st that it recently launched a smart card key for all Genesis models through the online market 'Genesis Boutique'. Hyundai Mobis Smart Card Key, which has technology, luxurious design, and easy-to-carry convenience that incorporates smart key functions into the size of a credit card, is establishing itself as a new "It Item" in the vehicle accessory field.

The smart card key, which was first introduced through the official online mall "Hyundai Shop" at the end of last year, was sold out and restocked immediately after its launch and was highly praised. Thanks to this popularity, it will be expanded to all models of Hyundai Motor, including Sonata D Edge and Dior New Kona, starting with Dior New Palisade and Ioniq 9 in February this year. With the launch of the brand's first authentic pickup Tasman, Kia will also gradually increase the application of smart card keys to new cars in the future as well as Sorento and Carnival. In addition, Genesis, which is in charge of the luxury position within the group, is also able to freely select a smart card key.




The Hyundai Mobis smart card key is only 2.5mm thick in credit card size, but it provides the same function as the smart key that is basically paid through physical buttons. It supports remote smart parking assistance (RSPA), which allows parking and parking with a single button touch, along with car door opening, trunk opening, and remote start.

Unlike NFC (Near Field Communication), smart card keys that utilize Ultra Wide Band (UWB) do not require you to take the card key out of your pocket every time and do not have direct contact with the vehicle door. Another advantage is that it has a differentiated function from the NFC key, which was simply used to open and close the door of the vehicle, and it is as convenient as a digital key of a smartphone.

Overseas customers' preferences are also different, with sales set to expand to North America and Australia. At the recent Seoul Mobility Show, an actual collaboration of smart card keys designed with the logos of famous global makers was exhibited and actively engaged in sales activities.




Hyundai Mobis plans to provide a special customer experience to vehicle owners with luxurious designs and functions while continuing to improve the marketability of smart card keys. In addition, it plans to continue various collaborations, such as providing services that enhance visibility and belonging by applying the company's logo and desired phrase to large-scale corporate vehicle customers.
