im all for tech that makes me carry less stuff around. everytime i leave the house its keys, wallet, cell. Even if you have android/google pay, you still have to take your drivers license and therefor wallet.
maybe one day they'll give us an option for a digital driver's license.

As far as BMWs CarKey, it would be up to the app to know which devices have the functionality it needs, I guess. |

I'll keep an eye out for whatever the manual might be able to tell us once I can access it after the car is built, but I'm not holding my breath. The feature is too new. Our friends at BMW NA haven't even updated the website yet for the MY 2021 5 series, and they announced that a month ago.

It is an interesting piece of technology, and being one of those people with an IT background, I'm interested in how it will work.

As much as I understand people's frustration of the key card not being compatible with pre-2021 cars, you guys won't be the one to complain that it does not work 100% of the time like the connected app.
can't go wrong with an old fashioned key. just has to be smaller |

In addition, why the hell would I want an inferior solution to the touchless, hands-free key that I already have. This is a regression in convenience, not a step forward... yet. |

This by no means makes the user experience better. Its more of a hassel to take out your phone, unlock, then touch the door handle. If you were in a hurry to get away from someone, you'd be dead already. Comfort Access just works 100x better. Just make it standard on every car instead of upselling it. Oh, not available on your G20? Just lease another new car next year! Or if you bought one, take depreciation hit and buy another one to get 1 extra feature. These are the suckers BMW preys upon. This is the stuff that makes people leave the brand. |

How is M340 not getting this
Blows my mind that m340 isn't getting this, it literally has all the tech needed to make it happen.
I develop iOS apps on the side and my car got an update tonight so I tried activating a digital key with my phone running iOS 14 but no bite. Did notice the process has to initiate in the BMW Connected app, so I'll update when there's an app update. |

Along with every single bank and (in most Australian states) transport cards supporting Google and Apple Pay, there is honestly no need to carry a wallet anymore. You can even withdraw/deposit into ATMs here with Google/Apple Pay. Contactless payments have been around here for almost 10 years and is much ubiquitous so it's in our culture. In fact, for the past year, all I've carried with me is my phone. It's been fine and quite nice really. I appreciate it's not for everyone but it's nice to know I can have one device that does everything. If I lose it, no one else can get in due to Face ID. The car key is the last thing I carry other then my phone... but then again it's a nice key 😎 |

Have we seen a conclusive statement that it won't work for cars built before 1st July?
Could just be when they are pushing the latest software from the factory which could be rolled out OTA at a later date. Would be nice to have it as a backup, but the key works better for me in most cases as it unlocks/locks automatically. Digitial Key card is there if I don't want to carry the key. |

However, with the X3/X4 LCI around the corner for next year my guess is they will be the headline vehicles for version 3.0 launch where the phone can stay in pocket as a fob |

So while those two might be requirement on cars produced after 7/2020, it doesn't automatically mean having them on earlier cars will work. Though again, I wouldn't rule out BMW just arbitrarily deciding that, even though the hardware is the same, newer cars won't get it. The fact that they will upgrade iDrive7 to Android Auto for earlier cars via RSU still leaves a bit of hope at least. |

The key should emit a RF signal only when a button is pressed and never without. It is true that it will not have the comfort access or non contact for start/stop but it will be safer. You need to have the key anyway, what is so hard to put it into the slot? That's why Comfort Access vehicles are vulnerable. Or, put a On/Off switch on the remote. |

I mean I was really surprised when my 2019 G20 was able to get drive recorder, given that there was rumor of upgraded hardware in later builds. If it doesn't end up getting CarKey support, then at least I can still look forward to future models that can utilize the UWB chip. |
