An authentication apparatus for a vehicle can include: a camera; a processor; and a memory comprising stored authentication data. The authentication apparatus can be configured to: detect, by the camera, an identifying object associated with a user, the identifying object having a source of authentication data; read, by the processor, the source authentication data to provide read authentication data; compare, by the processor, the stored authentication data with the read authentication data; and, when the read authentication data matches the stored authentication data, selectively enable one or more functions of a vehicle to which the authentication apparatus is connectable, based on the read authentication data associated with the identifying object.
