Amazon Key In-Car delivery launched a year ago as a new package delivery method for the e-retailer, but only to certain Volvo and General Motors car owners. Now some Ford and Lincoln car owners can get in on the straight-to-trunk delivery.
Instead of Amazon packages lingering by your front stoop just begging to be snatched, you can give Amazon delivery folks access to your vehicle for a safer storage spot until you can pick up the delivery.
Starting Tuesday, FordPass and Lincoln Way remote accessibility apps can be linked to your Amazon Prime account. Once connected, drivers can get into the vehicle to drop off packages.

If you choose Key In-Car as the delivery method (it's free for Prime members), you get a notification on your smartphone that the package is in your trunk -- and the driver is required to double check that the door locked behind them. If you decide you don't want someone in your trunk, you can reschedule for a regular delivery and the driver will no longer have vehicle access.
You can check if your car and ZIP code are eligible for the car delivery.
Ford said Amazon deliveries are just the start of using the car as a destination -- on-demand car washes and interior cleanings that come direct to your car -- even if you're not around -- are in the works.
Your connected car will soon have a whole day of meetings without you.
