Control and Drive
Your Car Without a Key
with 'KEY+'

Special One Co., Ltd. has been researching and developing 'KEY+', a system that allows you to control and drive cars without a car key, since 2016.

Special One started with a simple idea: "How can we open a car without a car key?" We are a manufacturer dedicated to convenient car life, developing and producing the world's first digital key 'KEY+' that can be used immediately after purchase.

We value communication with consumers and strive to provide a platform for all contactless vehicle-related services. With our vision of connected vehicle services and mission to create KEY+, we are dedicated to research and development for contactless vehicle sharing systems and community platform activation.
