I had to go to my dealer for something else. While there, I asked their "Genius" and she took me over to my Service Advisor, who found an instruction from BMW and using my regular key fob did something on their end (all in the BMW USA database) that really enabled my phone.
I now can unlock my car by placing my phone next to the driver's door handle "hot spot" and operate the car with my phone in the wireless charger.
BTW, I do have the BMW Connected App on my phone and it now show my phone with a digital key; the App is actually useful with the new iDrives (as opposed to neqar useless on my F30)
So my advice is to go to a BMW dealer get them to enable your phone as a digital key at their end.
Hope that helps!
