Luxury isn’t just about leather seats and smooth rides anymore; it’s about convenience, innovation, and seamless integration with your everyday life. Lincoln understands this, which is why features like Lincoln Phone as a Key are changing the way drivers interact with their vehicles.
No more digging through your bag or patting your pockets for a key fob. With this advanced technology, your smartphone becomes your car key, giving you effortless access to your Lincoln and a more streamlined driving experience.
What Is Lincoln Phone as a Key?
Lincoln Phone as a Key is a feature available on select Lincoln models that allows you to use your smartphone to lock, unlock, start, and drive your vehicle. Using the Lincoln Way™ app, your phone communicates directly with your SUV, meaning your device is all you need to get behind the wheel.
Instead of juggling key fobs or worrying about leaving one behind, Lincoln Phone as a Key makes ownership easier by turning something you always have with you (your phone) into your vehicle’s command center.

Setting up Lincoln Phone as a Key is straightforward, and once it’s complete, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Lincoln Phone as a Key vs. Traditional Key Fobs
While traditional fobs offer reliability, setting up Lincoln Phone as a Key takes convenience to the next level:
