MUNICH, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At IAA Mobility 2025, YFORE unveiled its next-generation digital key solution, integrating UWB, BLE Channel Sounding, Nearlink, and NFC technologies. This end-to-end system features self-developed mobile and watch SDKs, vehicle terminals, and cloud services, delivering an accurate, safe, and seamless access experience for global automakers.

Precision: Welcome System and Hands-Free Access

Based on the precise ranging and positioning capabilities of UWB and BLE Channel Sounding, YFORE's digital car key solution allows owners to experience the charm of technology, just like AITO M9, the vehicle can start locating the user from 30 meters away, initiate the welcome function at 8 meters, and automatically unlock at 2 meters, offering a truly seamless, hands-free access experience.

Security: Relay Attack Prevention Against Evolving Cyber Threats

In response to increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity challenges, YFORE implements multi-layered safeguards based on UWB/BLE ToF (Time-of-Flight) technology. The system actively combats relay attacks and signal hijacking attempts, ensuring end-to-end security from exterior access to in-cabin protection.

Flexibility: Your Device, Your Choice

YFORE's digital car key system offers full compatibility across smartphones (iOS/Android), smartwatches, NFC cards, and traditional key fobs, empowering users to choose their preferred access methods for any scenario. With full certification for CCC, ICCOA, and ICCE standards, users can store NFC cards in wallet applications on iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo devices, allowing their phones to function as car keys, even when the battery is low, ensuring a consistent experience across mobile ecosystems.
