Digital key access
For the m340i and other models I've seen people using a digital key card to unlock their cars. To activate it they place it on the wireless charging pad. The m340i I ordered doesn't have wireless charging so does that mean I won't be able to use this feature?

Because you also need the option "Comfort Access" for this function to work. |

You need a very very specific Android phone for this feature to work. I think only a few models from different makers work... I can't even remember which ones they are. Upcoming iPhones will enable this feature soon, but maybe not until iOS 14 or later. |

Indeed, you have to have a Samsung 8 or newer because they have NFC. Fortunately, I have an S8 & gotta' say it's great, though I've had a few problems with it being associated with correct profile

I got a Samsung S20 and its incompatible, so the 'newer' part does not really apply

No, It’s NFC technology so you must touch the card to the door handle (and be precise to the sweet spot) to open and keep the card on the NFC/wireless charging tray to start the car.

I just tested my Digital Key Card in my wallet and I was able to unlock and lock my door and start my car too without taking it out. The card was in the outermost part of the leather bill fold part of my wallet. I faced that side to the door handle and NFC tray. It's nice to know I don't have to take it out each time if I want to use that as my key. I don't know if it made a difference but I had hardly any money in it. BMWFS takes it all! |
