Something to pay attention to - if you have a phone with NFC and you put the key next to the phone - the car will have difficult times to detect the key when locking/unlocking.
The same applies also with comfort access.
This might explain why everyone is having randomly the issues.

I give you example - my Iphone 12 (with BMW digital key enabled) when put in the same pocket with the car key will in 90% of the cases not lock/unlock the car from the first try.
As soon as I separate the two everything works as expected.


I explain it to myself that somehow the phone's NFC functionalities are jamming the key range or confusing the module because there are 2 devices that can lock/unlock the car (phone and key).

I never had this issue with my F30 LCI, but with the G21 I can reproduce the problem every time I stick the car key on the back of the iPhone.

Since I owned the G21 I simply learned - phone in left pocket, car key in right pocket ...... never in the same or hold both in one hand. I know it is stupid, but .....
