2.0 looks like it includes standardization in the authentication protocol between the phone and car. Previously it was up to the app developer to implement what they wanted. So this makes total sense that you'd need version 2.0 to use it as a standard iOS feature.

In the end I guess it is not that big of a deal, if you have to install an app or if it is native, aside from being more seamless and being able to use Messages to text a key to someone without the app.

It's covered vaguely here: https://carconnectivity.org/press-re...-key-solution/
