How does the Amazon Key App connect with my Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac vehicle?

The service is available to customers who download the Amazon Key app and have a vehicle that allows them to open and close it with the use of an online app, as a feature of the auto. You can check if your vehicle qualifies and if Amazon offers the service in your area here . Second, the unlock request is handled by OnStar or Volvo On Call instead of Amazon.
