Anyone know how to assign the BMW Card Key?

So I just picked up my nfc Card Key from the dealership. When I follow the instructions to assign the key, it says "This device does not have permission." Any idea what's going on? I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that the car is a lease.

Even some of the ppl at the dealership couldn't figure it out.

Definitely shouldn't have to do with whether or not you lease your car.

I'm guessing you could have some bad hardware (either the card itself is bad, or the NFC reader in the car). I'd probably pay a visit to the service department (not sales) and have them check it out.

Try doing 2 things:
1. Hard reset on the iDrive. Hold in the volume button for 70 seconds (even though the screen will turn black after around 30 seconds) with the physical key (not the card) in the car.
2. Update Apps and Services. Go to your Apps page, click left on the dial, hit OPTION on the iDrive dial, select Update Apps and Services when the car has service (not in a tunnel or parking garage).

If that doesn't work, it could be you got the wrong card. They're VIN specific and sometimes get mixed up at the dealership.

You need both car keys present.

This sheds some more light on it albeit for an iPhone digital key:

He's referring to the key card, credit card key, not iPhone key.

Well by default the card you get has to be assigned to your car, no other way. If it doesn't work then yes you need both keys present in the car.

I posted in another thread - do it manually:
CAR —> settings —> doors —> digital key activate
Worked for me

Just figured it out. So if anyone decides to get one, you pick it up from the parts department when they receive it. Then you gotta go to your service advisor and they will ask you for a PIN number that needs to be programmed into their computer system. Then it will activate.

I had to go to the dealer and have them assign the card key.
