Some car makers offer the option to control your vehicle with a digital car key. If your car is compatible, you can add this key to the Wallet app on your iPhone.
Your Apple Watch can get locked if you enter the wrong passcode too many times. If your Watch is already locked, you might want to look into how you can unlock your Apple Watch. There are actually a couple of methods to help you do that and here we describe them. Now here’s the trick: Unlock your phone, but watch your Apple Watch screen. As your iPhone unlocks, your watch will also unlock, sometimes showing the PIN code entry screen for a moment or two and other times just jump straight to an unlocked Apple Watch: Unlocked!
