Adding a Key in Apple Wallet

[Pop's Ram]

I suspect I already know the answer before I post, but it won't hurt to ask. I updated my iPhone to iOS 14, and there is a feature which allows you to add an electronic key to the Apple wallet which will then allow you to start your vehicle, lock and unlock your vehicle, etc. all through your phone. It even says it will allow you to drive your vehicle (and leave your fob home) just by putting the phone on the wireless charger. Finally the question - "Has anyone been able to do this yet?". The instructions on the Apple site point you to the vehicle manufacturer's website to see if the vehicle is compatible. I suspect the answer is "NO" since they want to charge us for Uconnect. I am with the others that refuse to pay for the privilege of using my phone for this purpose, so when Apple came out with this feature, I became hopeful that someone got it to work.

Anyone?? If yes, please share how you did it.

Nothing yet for our trucks and I would suspect it would require a chip that is not present in our vehicles yet so it may not be a retrofit.
