I'd guess that there'd be a fob in a slot inside the glove box/etc. If you put in a valet code on the console, it activates the fob and allows that to start the car instead of the owner's phone.

And either a fingerprint scanner on the handle or a code on the doors (like Ford/Linc/Merc has had for eons) to allow access in the event your phone dies. But I'd expect it to require at least 8-10 digits (not the 5 or 6 Ford requires) since it'll allow the engine to start.
