Great joining you all on this forum! I took delivery of my G20/330i this morning. It's been a joy so far, but I'm struggling to understand how to use my phone as a Digital Key. Wondering what your experiences are:
- Officially, the Digital Key on phones is only supported on certain Samsung devices, which is close to outrageous. Has anyone succeeded in making other Android devices work as a Digital Key?
- When I try adding a Digital Key, iDrive tells me to put my phone on the wireless charging pad. When I do that (a Pixel 3), nothing happens for about a minute, and a "transmission error" or something similar appears. Instead, I would have expected an error like "unsupported device", rather than the system timing out. Has anyone seen other, more appropriate errors?
- Let's say we follow the supported route and use a Samsung device. Will that device require the Connected Drive app to be installed in order to be used as a Digital Key?
I'll continue tinkering, but hopefully your experiences will be helpful!
