eKEY Basic for iPhone is available now!
eKEY Professional for iPhone will be available in December of 2010.
Will the Supra iPhone Adapter require batteries?
No! The Adapter gets its power from the iPhone, thus no batteries to change and it will never need to be charged. It only uses power when a box is opened, thus it has very little impact on the iPhone's battery.
Will eKEY for iPhone work with the eKEY Fob (the one that works with the BlackBerry)?
The eKEY fob used for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices will not work with the iPhone. It was necessary to design an accessory specifically for the iPhone. They decided to create an adapter that would plug directly into the phone. In this way the eKEY for iPhone is a fully integrated solution.
How do I get eKEY for iPhone?
eKEY for iPhone is issued just like the other eKEYs. The Supra iPhone Adapter is available for purchase directly from Supra and from most Boards and MLSs. After an agent has their adapter, they can download the software from the App Store, and get an eKEY serial number and authorization code from their Board or MLS. Once the authorization code is entered into the software, they are ready to open lock boxes with their iPhone.
Moving from DisplayKEY or ActiveKEY is a very simple process. It will only take a few minutes at an agent's local Board or MLS (whoever issued their current key), and they will be opening lock boxes with their iPhone.
What models of iPhones will be supported?
eKEY for iPhone will run on all current models of iPhone (2G, 3G, 3Gs). It will also run on the new iPhone 4. Note that for 2G, 3G, and 3Gs devices, you must have iPhone OS 3.1.3 or above.
How do I get the software on my iPhone?
The eKEY for iPhone app is on Apple App Store. The download is free. While the software itself is downloaded free, there will be an ongoing monthly charge for the key service. Download it now to check out the demo mode.
Is there a way to see how eKEY for iPhone works before I buy it?
Yes. There is a demo version of the software. It is on the App Store and it will let you check out all the eKEY Basic features. To start using it to open lock boxes an agent will just need to speak to his/her Board or MLS and get an authorization code (once the Supra eKEY Adapter is available).
