CHECK YOUR CAR2025 Zeekr 7X · Europe English online manual · Long Range RWD reference

Checked against the official European English MY2025 7X online manual on 27 October 2026. China-market apps, hardware and OTA versions differ. Match your car’s display and equipment; the Chinese report supplies context, while the manufacturer manual supplies the procedure.

THE QUICK ANSWER

In the Zeekr app, open Vehicle and software version → My keys, press the add symbol and follow the prompts. Confirm approved-phone compatibility before expecting ultra-wideband approach unlocking.

Chinese owner report: context, not a diagnosis

The owner reports needing to open the app before Bluetooth unlocking and asks about hands-free access. This is an individual report or discussion, not evidence of a widespread defect. The checks below concern the European export car; they do not establish what caused the Chinese owner’s symptom.

Before you start

Have a working key, the account linked to the car and a sufficiently charged phone. Perform setup near the parked vehicle where you can read every prompt.

Follow the export-car controls

1Check device approvalUse zeekr.eu/connected and its Functions FAQ to check the approved phones for the Companion app’s Digital Key feature.
2Start key creationIn the app’s vehicle menu, open Vehicle and software version → My keys and press the add control. Complete the instructions presented.
3Confirm the resulting typeThe manual distinguishes app-based digital keys from ultra-wideband keys used through a phone wallet. Supported UWB keys are created through the Zeekr app too.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

Verify the key with a physical backup available. The cited manual restricts UWB digital keys to iPhones with the required capabilities; confirm the device and current market support rather than inferring it from the presence of Bluetooth.

Common questions

Does any Bluetooth phone support approach unlock?+

No. The manual associates that precise-distance capability with supported ultra-wideband digital keys.

Should I install China-market firmware to add support?+

No such procedure is supported here. Use the export app, approved device list and Zeekr support.
