Great information! One thing to add: If you do this and set it up on an older iPhone and decide you want to upgrade to a newer phone, this digital key DOES NOT transfer via the Wallet/iCloud backup to the new phone . You have to set it up again on the new device with your key fobs. I found that out the hard way at an Apple Store.😊. If you’re heading into buy a new phone, make sure to bring both of your key fobs with you!
Seattle MINI here! Thanks for sharing this helpful tip. If you're upgrading to a new iPhone, keep in mind that your digital MINI key won’t transfer via iCloud or Wallet backup. You’ll need to set it up again manually using your key fobs. To avoid any issues at the Apple Store or getting locked out, make sure to bring both of your key fobs with you when setting up your new phone. A little preparation goes a long way. Thanks again for the insight, and happy driving.
Great video! Do I understand correctly, that I can do all the things with a digital key on my iPhone that I could do with the key fob? Can I share a digital key to someone who's on a different phone platform (for example, iPhone -> Android)? And if I share a digital key, can I limit the amount of time that the shared digital key will work? (Or, alternatively, can I revoke the shared digital key?) I'm not clear about why I'd want to use the key card. You said it's like a valet card. I can see leaving the key card with a valet if I've only got the digital key on my iPhone with me. But, is there an advantage to leaving the card with the valet versus leaving a MINI key fob with the valet? And, I take it that one would not routinely leave the key card in the MINI. Best to carry it in your wallet just in case? And I guess I'm out of luck if I only have my iPhone digital key with me and my iPhone loses power! Thanks for doing these videos.
