Step by step.
- 01

- 02
Open the device's Wallet app, select the Mercedes-Benz vehicle key and choose the Share action.
- 03
Choose the recipient and send the invitation using a supported sharing method.
- 04
On the recipient device, open the invitation and follow the Wallet prompts to add and activate the key.
- 05
Mercedes-Benz recommends activating the shared key promptly by using it at the vehicle, then testing lock, unlock and authorized start functions.
Important limits
- Device, operating-system, Wallet and regional compatibility determine which sharing options are available.
- A shared key grants vehicle access and possibly drive authorization; share it only with a trusted person.
- Low device battery, disabled Bluetooth or disabled Express mode can restrict operation.
Quick checks.
- ✓If Share is missing, update the device and Wallet and confirm the owner's key is fully activated.
- ✓If the recipient cannot add the key, resend the invitation and complete activation near the vehicle with the conventional key present if prompted.
- ✓Remove a lost or unneeded shared key from the Wallet, Mercedes-Benz account or MBUX Digital Vehicle Key menu.
