I like the idea of my phone opening the car, prime example... Volvo was locked in my garage , I was out in the wives car . When I got home I needed to take stuff from my wives car & put it in the Volvo. I forgot the Volvo was locked , I had to put the stuff down , go into the house to get the Volvo guys. All the while I had my phone in my pocket.
Serious question, you lose your phone and can’t get in your car or buy a coffee, what do you use to brick it or wipe it remotely...ps your on your own...no one with you

Wait until I get home & use the wife’s phone, nothing different that not noticing you lost your wallet with CC in it.

This is all good fun but completely unnecessary if you sew your sport key into your underwear, and before you ask, yes, I only have one pair of pants; what of it?

don't bother with the underwear, its small enough to be inserted somewhere to ensure its never lost.....

Ah, but it is different. You lose your wallet, you phone or you go into bank and cancel CCs there and then, simples. Lose phone that unlocks car, bank won’t want to help you 😂 😂 😂

But, You Can Use A Phone!!! So it has to be right, yeah? I mean if it can't be done with a phone (sorry, iPhone) it just ain't worth doing.

Then you need an Android phone, unlock with fingerprint, press unlock on VOC widget, confirm with fingerprint < 2 seconds, done.

I don't get this faffing around with folders that Apple force on everyone.
