Digital key

paulockenden · 12-03-2021, 10:11 AM

Just noticed that digital key has appeared in the app on my Samsung S21 Ultra. It was previously only available on iPhones.

Not sure which Android phones it’s going to be enabled for, but I’m guessing it’s a fairly limited range.

Same on Samsung Note 10+. Suspect all Android >= 11.

Tip for anyone else with a 330e - the pairing doesn’t seem to work if the charging cable is connected.

I also had to disconnect from the vehicle wifi and just use 4G before it would pair correctly.

Where do you find it in the app? I've really missed digital key, have the s21 ultra and latest updates

It was mentioned on the front page, with the press release.

Scroll right from "Vehicle Finder", "Ventilation Timer", "Remote Camera", then "Digital Key", "Remote History"

Ventilation timer? I wonder why I don’t have one of those? Maybe because the 330e has preconditioning?

Off topic, but…….. Ventilation timer is awesome, love it. Didn’t use in my last car (didn’t understand the function to be honest) but in this weather, leave heating running up to 30 mins after going out and coming back to a lovely warm/hot car to drive home, beautiful!

Speaking of digital key, thought about doing it on my S21 Ultra, but somehow would rather have the keyless digital card instead.
Not using either currently, lol, key in pocket and with comfort pack just walk up and open!
