Digital car key (DCK) is enabled on compatible Android devices without the need for an additional app. Google first-party apps, such as Google Wallet, shouldn't be referenced while promoting the DCK solution. Partners are encouraged to refer to DCK as an Android system feature on compatible devices.
For example:
"All you need to do is send them an invitation from your Android device."
"Set up a car key on a compatible Android device and share it with up to five friends."
"Your digital car key will then be stored in a compatible Android device."
