BMW Digital Key

Hi All,

Has anyone been successful in using their digital key? I've registered my key following some Youtube videos but I can't unlock/lock car still.

Does it need further configuration?

Cheers,
Akshit

It works but you have to have direct contact with the door handle to lock and unlock. For instance, it doesn't work if I put the card inside my phone case (iPhone). So for me at least, it's not particularly useful. Much easier just the carry the key.

It may be useful when one go swimming/ skiing etc where you don't want to get the actual key wet.

Works for me now too, you have to hold it horizontal to the door handle.

I do prefer the actual key as well, as it unlocks/locks as you approach/depart, this car is making me really lazy ! lol

I'm hoping this may change with the iOS 13 update at the end of the year. I think Apple is opening up the NFC chip for other purpose.

The sales guy set mine up took 2
minutes . It works from inside my wallet which is good.
Probably not something I will use that often as I prefer comfort use

Same problem unlocking my car. Coded by dealer when I picked up my M340
and didn’t work today. Called my CA and he wants me to speak with their genius. Spent an hour getting CarPlay to work and stopped connecting an hour after leaving dealership. PITA!
