And you will know if there’s an OTA update. The car needs your approval to download and install it. It won’t happen automatically.

Still don't understand why the digital key wasn't available as an option until a couple weeks into using the car? It was literally not even an option within my idrive originally so not sure what changed

Maybe a glitch that sorted itself? Cars nowadays have way too much electronics. Who knows

It takes a wee bit to get the correct location. I think it’s different in different cars. On some I read they have to move the card around a bit. On others, it’s towards the middle of the pull handle. In mine, it’s towards the end of the pull handle (closer to the fixed part of the door handle). Also, when you look at the card at an angle, you can see there’s a slight bulge like where a microchip (Probably the wrong term) would be present. I place that bulge right next to the edge of the pull handle and it unlocks in a second or two.

I took delivery of my M340i at the end of July, but they were unable to find the key card when I took delivery. I just received my license plates and the dealer also gave me the white key card with the M logo. The problem is I am unable to pair the key card to the car. I put the key card on the pad and nothing happens.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue? Also since I have the M340i, isn’t the key supposed to be black with M logo? |

Followed the instructions in the video, put the card in the Smart Tray and nothing. Looked into the manual and it says you can activate it manually by going into CAR —> Settings —> doors —> digital Key activate. Followed that and it works perfect. |

I've actually used it quite a bit. When COVID hit and the gyms were closed, I just kept the key card in my pocket while I went for a run instead of having to bring the entire set of keys with me. I now keep it in my wallet and if I forget something I can just go unlock it with the card and like having something physical besides my phone and regular keys to unlock the car if needed

My first NFC card stopped working a few weeks ago. The dealership replaced it under warranty but the car doesn't recognize it because it's still looking for the original card. I booked a visit for service next Tuesday.

I just recently got a new 2020 330i with every package besides msport, and never heard anything about a digital key. Is there a possibility its in my glovebox?

Check the folder in which they put your owner’s manual. I didn’t know about it until someone here asked me to look in there and lo. There it was. The SA I bought my car from didn’t tell me a word about it.

JayPichardo ,
When I picked up my '20 M340 at dealer in US, after taking European delivery, I was given the grey BMW key card. Recently, I went back & asked for black one with red edging & /M logo & was told for my car's VIN that the grey one was correct What gives? Thanks

I think the M340i is just as fun a car as the older M3s. But I do plan on moving into the G80 M3 once our lease is up! |

The key card does not need a phone to work, the digital key does. You may need to have the charging tray option, that I don't know.
