Can anyone explain how the Digital Key works?

Specifically, does this mean you can unlock and/or start the vehicle with your phone? Better yet, with your Apple Watch? We live near the beach and often do watersports where you don't necessarily want to carry your phone. Would be nice to be able to wear your watch, not have to hassle with phone or keys, and unlock the vehicle from your watch....

Does this mean their will be no remote key start. I am not a big fan of needing to purchase a subscription to remote start your car.

I don’t know if it applies to all trims, but I definitely caught a video (Auto Jeff?) executing remote start from a key FOB.
