Creating a digital key

The vehicle's owner can create a primary digital key at any time via settings.

The vehicle's owner can create one primary digital key in the setup guide. Once the primary key has been created, you can share digital keys with family and friends. You can access the guide via your vehicle's center display or the activation email you receive when your vehicle is connected to your Polestar ID.

Creating a digital key via the center display

You need to be inside the vehicle while setting up your digital key. You also need to make sure that:
  • the vehicle is stationary and unlocked
  • you are signed in to the vehicle's owner profile in the center display
  • both your vehicle and your phone have a stable internet connection1
  • both your vehicle and your phone are updated to the latest software version
  • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
  • cellular data usage is enabled in the wallet app on your phone
  • you have access to the Polestar ID registered to the vehicle owner's profile.2
Press the vehicle symbol in the bottom bar and then the profile symbol .

Follow the guide on your phone.
If pairing is successful, your primary digital key appears in your phone's wallet app. You can now share your digital key with family and friends.

Moving the primary digital key to another phone

If you want to move the primary digital key to another device, such as a new phone, you can do so via the center display. In the owner's profile settings, select your primary digital key and press Change device to move the key to the new device.

 Tip

Assigning digital keys to a profile

The primary digital key is always assigned to the vehicle's owner profile. If you have shared a digital key with someone, make sure they assign it to their vehicle user profile to ensure that all of their preferred settings are applied when they unlock the vehicle.

  1. 1 If the vehicle is parked in an underground garage or surrounded by obstacles such as buildings, hills or mountains, the network signal may be blocked or too weak.
  2. 2 If you aren't the vehicle owner, you can't create your own digital key. You need to ask the owner to share their digital key with you instead.
