Wireless charging generates more heat due to reduced efficiency especially through thicker cases. I've used Qi (wireless) charging for years now since Android go it back in 2012. I prefer wireless over wired but it depends on what I'm doing.

It is likely that I will be charged as well. It did not come with the 12/11/18 delivery. They ordered my card earlier this month in addition to another other key that came in but mine did not. They ordered again and it allegedly will be in this week or early next week.

My dealer is still feeding me the line that they are having problems ordering - specifically around coding to my VIN. And - they are charging me for it... Ordered 3 weeks ago. Good times.

Perhaps it is a lack of dealers making a genuine effort for customer service?. |

They are VIN specific, and must be coded by BMW to your vehicle before the card can be delivered to a customer. And I understand that it isn't a perfect process yet, still very new technology.

I got a text from dealer IT guy saying 10K digital key cards are having issues and mine is among them. Originally scheduled for delivery today, there is no promise of when the key will appear.

Anyone have a car that was a 11/2018 production that didn't come with a key card that had a successful purchase of a key card?
My dealership just found out that my car even though it was delivered 12/15/2018, the production was a November 2018 run. Therefore the reason it didn't come with a card. They're putting the order for the card through now. There is some documentation that said that some cars' key card readers weren't activated in the 11/2018 run. Just curious about any of you that also got a card ordered after the fact.

I'll pass on this. Don't see how this is any better than using the Fob. I have too much technology to add another gadget.

Try going swimming with the fob in your pocket. I programmed mine but don't know when I would actually use it. Just tested it out to make sure it works. I don't have any keys on my fob so don't mind giving it to a valet, service, etc., if I did I may just give the key card.

Did the digital (phone key) and card require dealer set up? I don't think either of mine work
I tried using both and to unlock the car and nothing happen when I tapped the driver's side handle

My key card works great but no phone has yet to be programmed. I understand there is a programming issue between BMW and Samsung. I have tried to program my Note 8 and a program error comes up. You need a working key card (which I have) sitting in the tray, then set the phone on top of the key card and activate programming via iDrive.
