K1 is a smart car key module that adds digital connectivity to any vehicle. Within the minimalist silhouette, the design features a sleek organic surface that symbolizes the futuristic smart technology contained inside.

Made of an aluminum frame, K1 is designed to withstand the vibrations of the road. A detachable back cover reveals the space for installing the original car key, secured by a unique silicone padding that holds it firmly in place. Though this product is only seen during installation, it has been designed to celebrate this meaningful moment, like embedding the heart of smart connectivity into the car.
