Honor has launched a system-level guarantee solution for Bluetooth car keys, distinct from its Honor Wallet approach. The Magic V5 series leads initial device compatibility, with multiple other smartphones slated for phased OTA upgrades.

Bluetooth car key functionality hinges on communication between automaker apps and vehicle keys. Yet power-saving protocols often force these apps into dormancy during screen-off or low-memory scenarios, disrupting automatic unlocking when users approach vehicles and necessitating manual app activation.

Honor's system-level intervention eliminates tedious background process management. Users simply install automaker apps conventionally—no special permissions required. The solution intelligently activates apps during vehicle approach while maintaining silence otherwise, optimizing battery efficiency while enabling instant unlocking.

Despite safeguards, Honor acknowledges potential failures stemming from app or key abnormalities. Future major updates will integrate YOYO smart alerts, triggering pop-up notifications for such cases. Users can then tap "Unlock Now" to instantly access automaker apps for resolution.
