Do you have the card?

Thank you for the feedback. The pop up I mention is at the time of configuring the key card with the vehicle (if that makes sense).
I do not have the card, I was going to buy one from one of the BMW Dealers on the web and have it shipped to me. I am assuming that my car should be compatible with the key card since it comes with comfort access as well as a wireless charger. Do you think that would be true? |
Don't waste your money on that. It is not worth it. Just having the key in your pocket is easier. Or did you have a special purpose for the card?
Do you have a new iPhone? Or are you planning to buy one? It should also have the functionality. |

I appreciate your honest feedback. I wanted an additional key (apart from the two that come with the car). One option was to put down 300-450$ for an additional physical key. Alternatively, this might be a cheaper option considering $48 for the key and at worst $30 for shipping to me. So will it work?
Also, I do have an iPhone 11 Pro and I do know about digital key however BMW India does not have the Connected Drive app so that means I cannot configure my phone as a Digital key. Thus the only option for an additional key is either the key card or an additional physical key.
