In the next few weeks Supra will launch a new eKey app with brand new features, etc. The roll-out will start in December for Android users and will continue for several weeks. IOS (iPhone) users will start to see the roll-out in January.
How and when will the app be delivered?
For eKey app users that have automatic app updates turned on, the Play Store will automatically deliver the app to a percentage of Android users over the next few weeks. The minimum requirement for the new eKEY app in Android is OS 5 or greater.
Do the apps need a new authorization code?
The eKey app does not require a new authorization as long as it is installed on a device that already has an authorized eKey app.
How will Supra let Keyholders know about the new eKey app release?
When the new eKey app is available for all users, Supra will send a message within the existing eKey app letting users know that a new version of the app is available along with a link to resources for more information.
The button below has links to all of the agent resources available; including the new eKey user manual, FAQ, and comparison of eKey Basic to eKey Pro.
More info on the new Supra app will be coming soon!
