  • Download the Amazon Key app and then link your Amazon account with their connected car service account. Once setup is complete and the delivery location has been registered, shop on Amazon.com and select the in-car delivery option at checkout.
  • On delivery day, the Amazon Key app will let you know if you’re parked within range of the delivery location and provide notifications with the expected 4-hour delivery time window. The app also notifies customers when the delivery is on its way, and the package has been delivered.

Customers have the ability to track when their car was unlocked and re-locked in the app’s activity feed, and rate their in-car delivery.
