Did you try doing it as in the video above? All I did was get in the car, put the key card on the NFC tray without starting the engine and the option to paid the keycard popped up, just like in the video above. I didn’t need to do anything in the iDrive/connecteddrive app.

It's not detecting a card when I put it in the tray. Will have to ask my SA about it I guess

I think I placed the keycard on the tray without starting the car. I got into the car with my key, placed the card on the tray and a message popped up on the idrive asking me if I wanted to activate it.
If you turned your car on, try going to the key option in the car settings (instead of doors/access) and see if there’s an option there?

As for the 'real' M vs M340. I have had three 'real' M3's. I like my 'poser' M340 better than all three of them. The M340 is a beautiful car. The perfect compromise. I couldn't care less what others think. It is MY car, I drive it. I just found my black carbon M digital key. It was in my manual in my glove compartment. Neither my salesman or the BMW "genius" told me about it or showed me it. Jackasses. It is activated (yep, at 1:20 AM) and it is cool as shit. Guess I should look through the manual on this car. Lots of little surprises. |

I can start the car with Digital Key but it wont unlock the doors. Also, I'd like to use my Samsung Note 10 but that will require a visit to the dealer.

@JayPichardo ,
My car came with the basic grey card; how do I get the //M style one? While the card is terrific, using my phone is even better! Thanks

Tried with my car off tonight and vehicle won't even pick up on the card. I'm wondering if I have a faulty card bc everything else in my car has worked perfect since I've picked it up (as it should)

Maybe try again in a few days and see if it locks/unlocks the car? Quote:
If your dealership is nearby, why not take it in? If they’re closed, email the SA you bought the car from and he/she should be able to guide you as to what to do.

Once iPhones support digital key, that will most likely be my primary. Remote start on the keyfob is very handy however, so I might miss that. Nothing quite like the tactile feedback of a button. |

No I've looked into every option and even tried seeing if I could do something through the connected app. Any other ideas?

An inexpensive (but real carbon fiber) no-name brand product from Amazon, I think it was $22. It's easy to spend 5x that, but I didn't want to spend a lot until I saw what features would really be important to me. I'm going to get a better one at some point, just haven't shopped around.

I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Where are you placing the card on the door handle? I've found that if you place the card with the "BMW" horizontally near the center of the door handle it works every time.

Oddly enough my car suddenly had the option for me to sync my NFC card. I noticed some other small changes to my vehicle, like my music staying on even after I shut the car off and open the door. It will stop when I lock it like my last F30 did.
Wonder if there was an update OTA? I've had the car for less than 3 weeks and it hasn't been to a dealership for service since I picked it up
