DS Automobiles extend the availability of the UK’s first contactless payment car key, powered by bPay

  • DS Automobiles unveiled the UK’s first integrated contactless payment car key, powered by bPay, for purchasers of new DS 3 cars who had ordered the latest Connected Chic model in September
  • The innovative device has proved to be a popular and appealing feature, so #ds has extended its availability on this model until the year end
  • The integrated payment device uses RFID technology to work alongside the remote car key as a convenient way to pay with contactless technology

DS Automobiles is extending the availability of the integrated contactless payment car key, powered by bPay for all customers that order the new #ds3connectedchic model, indefinitely.

Customers will also be able to track their spending, top up their balance, and take control to block or cancel the contactless payment element using the dedicated bPay app available on iPhone or Android devices.

Mark Blundell, UK Marketing Director at #ds Automobiles UK said; “The response to the integrated #ds contactless payment car key, an #automotive first, has certainly caught our network’s and the public’s attention, so we’re delighted to be able to extend its continued availability. At #ds we like to credibly complement our customer’s active lifestyles, where staying connected and being able to easily interact with the world is key. The #ds contactless payment car key is an additional feature that compliments perfectly the strong technology message with the #ds3connectedchic model and we’re delighted to now confirm extending of this feature.”

DS 3 Connected Chic is the new well-equipped trim level model, offering an attractive and compelling mix of stylish design and modern technological features. #ds 3 is a stylish design, with highlights that include17-inch black diamond-cut ‘Aphrodite’ alloy wheels, automatic air-conditioning and eMyWay satellite navigation. In addition, drivers can easily stay connected due to the mirror screen technology with Mirror Link® and Apple CarPlay™ which replicates the driver’s smartphone screen onto the 7-inch colour touchscreen in the centre console. Overall, #ds3connectedchic represents outstanding value for discerning customers given its significant specification advantage over the #ds 3 Chic for a relatively small increase in monthly payment.
