# CarKeyRemoteControl

The object you use to start a new vehicle-related session.

## Declaration

```swift
class CarKeyRemoteControl
```

## Overview

Overview Use a CarKeyRemoteControl object to create the session your app uses to communicate with the vehicles your company manufactures. You don’t create an instance of this object. Instead, call the start(delegate:subscriptionRange:with:) class method to request a new session object. The system retrieves the relevant vehicle information from person’s Apple Wallet and adds vehicles that match your company’s make to the session. Start a new session only when your app is running in the foreground. If your app enters the background, end the current session and start a new one when your app returns to the foreground.
