If theft breaks your glass and open the door. He/she can take off with key in the car without hot wiring it( if it is still possible nowadays)

Damn! Wished I had been given one of these, although given I have a BSM car I would not want white card.
I almost never use the fob it's card 90%of the time.

Yes it's fine. I leave my fob all the time in my car when I go running and just keep the card in my zipped up pocket.

I've tried opening the car without using the card while the fob was inside and it wouldn't open at all.

Yep the fob will have gone to sleep and stop sending signals to the car.
In the unlikely event that someone knew the fob was in there then if they can gain access to the fob (break in) they could drive away with the car..

Here is how to activate the card:

I've tried to activate using these steps, called BMW Genius and have taken it to the dealership...no luck. Very disappointing as this was one of my favorite features. Not sure what other steps I can take.

I am in the wrong forum, but I drive a 2019 540M Sport and didn't know key cards existed until reading this forum...

Not that it matters but too bad the G30 5 series doesn't include a key card just for technology sake...

I can't get this to work for my new M340. I have the digital key card and followed the instructions I found online through Jay's video but my car won't seem to even pick up on the key, therefore giving me no option to even select it in the iDrive settings.

My BMW connected app also isn't much help either. Any ideas?

Are you talking about using your iPhone as a key or the keycard the car came with? Only Samsung galaxy phones can be used as a digital keycard for now. No other phone iirc.

I used Jay’s video to activate my keycard and it worked. The keycard still works except for one day when the car would not let me open the door with it (I could start the car but had to open the door using the connecteddrive app).
