Yes people, having the key fob is way easier. This is for people that don’t need to bring keys everywhere or for someone that love tech. You can also send this digital key to someone else to unlock your car or move it. It is very convenient especially if your out of town and your car is parked somewhere that cleans the streets and you need your car moved. 😉
@bmw oddly, with my new car having set up my digital key, there is no BMW ID active when I want to drive my car with my settings. I am forced to input a pin code which is on the screen, which is very odd to do if having a passenger, my son in my case. 1) is it supposed to not have it linked with my BMW ID? 2) can I link it automatically with my BMW ID? 3) the password interface is ridiculous
But after this is done, can I continue to use my normal key, as a master key, and keep the digital key in the iPhone as, shall we say, a reserve key (in case I have forgotten the normal key at home) ? Because all the functions I have with the normal key, I don't have it with the Digital key.
+Aris1956 Hi 😊! The digital key does not replace your normal key, but you can use the digital key as an alternative. We wish you a Sheer Driving Experience, always!
@@BMW Thanks for the reply ! Danke für die Antwort ! 👍 PS: by the way, I drive the new BMW M440i Coupé. Fantastic car ! As we Italians say……”Una Bomba !” 😉👍
Problem with this key on my iPhone 13 is that it is way to slow to unlock. It takes several seconds to respond. Also is it on a Tesla and there is no response lag. Pity really but it does need to be improved
@@cagatay89 Yeah, I realized that my bmw does not have the wireless charging unit, but an still frustrated by the car. It is a 2 month old car and we just had the rear camera replaced (camera malfunction error) and the car was sitting at the dealer until they replaced the camera and now am getting the same error again. Not happy at all. Not worth the headache
@@KalidasRadhakrishnan I don’t have the Wireless charging unit either. BMW 330e g20 2021 Model. No issues yet. Just slow Spotify connect after firmware update.
BMW, i just got the new M2. It tells me to put the phone on the area in front of the shifter (i don't have wireless charging for some reason) to pair it. I tried to shove my phone in there but the area is too small to fit it in and it won't connect. does this have anything to do with the recent recall?
Can you use digital key to automatically unlock and lock the vehicle with comfort access features or does it work only with physical keys? It’s for 2023 330i LCI. Thanks.
Only digital key plus does the same as key fobs. The plain digital key actually uses different technology, hence you need to place the iphon in the charging tray.
I installed a digital key in my iPhone 12 Pro wallet the described way, and everything looks good. But, I managed to unlock and lock the car only once, after several attempts. I don't have those problems with wallet payments. Somebody experiencing the same behaviour?

Same problem. Can’t lock car… I end up using the BMW app to lock. Also, I’ve got to open iPhone and select BMW wallet card. This is nice feature but really only for emergency
¿Podrían mostrar el procedimiento pero ya con el Apple Watch? Porque tengo duda de si debo ponerlo en algún lugar que no sea mi muñeca para que funcione. Gracias, saludos.

@@tung9110 I understand BMW is not granting this feature to their vehicles made prior to July 2020. However, the technology is always there inside the vehicle, my model, that is. It’s simply NFC. It works with Samsung phones currently. It just does not work with any other Android brand phone or with iPhone. This suggests to me that BMW has simply decided not to allow this feature with these other phones. This has been the way BMW has operated in other areas of technology. They initially never allowed Android Auto in their vehicles. They would only allow Apple CarPlay. But many customers complained do now, suddenly, this has been allowed, simply through an over the air update. There was no true “incompatibility” to worry about. They just allowed it. I believe BMW can allow this feature as well in other recent vehicles with NFC capability. And they really need to do so or they will continue to risk losing customers.

@@deansmith4697 is right. It’s very convenient. I had this issue where I kept opening the trunk from my 330e when I had the key fob in my pocket. I don’t have to worry about it now though with digital key.

0:15 back of your iPhone? It works with Galaxy as well.
Could you teach the procedure with the Apple Watch?
Because I ask if I have to put the watch somewhere other that my arm.
Thanks.

Why the feature is not available in the Kuwait and the middle east!!
This is the future!

What models are designed to alert the user when the battery of a smartphone functioning as a digital key for the vehicle runs out of power?
It does not work for the iphone 12 pro max as the phone is a bit too tight for the console
I have the same phone and it works.

Can I use the digital key to open the tailgate?
What model of iPhone is required.
Works in the new X1 2024?
Any thoughts about the invite button missing?
From the wallet & apple pay section?
Do you have to pay monthly for this ?
My car it was free unlimited

Hi... What if during driving, happen that I need to use my iPhone and need to remove from Smart Phone Tray? Engine will shut off?
no
How do I lock the car?
the same way you unlock it
@@billydirago1558 it doesn’t work for me
Isn't a security concern that you don't need to unlock your phone?
Do you unlock your key?

Only works with the iPhone
Can i use BMW i8?

Available for which model of the X series please?

How is it better than having a key in a pocket?
Because it's more fun.
More of a hassle more like it, fun would be something that simplifies the process not complicates it
@@agentjrb having your phone in your hand is complicated? Ok.
How do you lock the car? Mine doesn't seem to lock.

Does it work with vehicles with I drive 6?
Simply - buy a newer car, then it will work seamlessly
This is not possible in my 2020 BMW X6 M50i (USA).
Why?

Digital key futurist and always the best car producer ever. Can you do a review on BMW m6 2006 please 🥺
you do realize this is the official BMW making a product/feature trailer, how does eg. Apple review their own product?
How do you lock it tho?
I don’t think you can. I just put this on my 2021 and without the key or the app it’s not going to work
The same way you unlock it.
Get an error when trying to add card to my Apple Watch.

Well, iPhone Max will work if you put it in "head first," even if it doesn't otherwise fit flat.
I’ll just keep my key fob in my pocket. When I get near it, it unlocks.
Cukup canggih pake ponsel sangat peraktis
Thank You 💟☮️
Amazing bmw 👌
Still only for s21, already s23 old. Shame for programers.

You don't need to unlock the phone to unlock the car? Idk about this move... 👀
Seems easier to just keep the key in your pocket 😬
You have to “go get” your key - but I always have my phone on me or near by. It’s just one less thing to carry. Give it a chance, it’s awesome 👍🏼

That is because men usually have pockets. Women do not. Love the card/phone key.
Waooo really so good future 😍😍
BMW is my favourite car brand
Thank you for being an enthusiastic fan!
