Where did you order the key from? BimmerTech? How much? If from BimmerTech then they can code it for you and the coding price is included in the total that you pay.

Send it back and get your money back. They are a complete waste of time. I got bored of mine after using it for a few times. It is nothing more than a paperweight that you have to keep charging constantly!

I have the display key but I don't use it. The normal key and connected drive app are more convenient. The display key is quite big to carry around in your pocket and the CD app has more functionality (locate the car, send destinations). The only thing that can only be done with the display key and not with the fob or CD app is lowering the air suspension

Maybe I would use it now and then if I could program both the key fob and display key to my profile so I can use them both at the same time but that is not possible.

I have the display key with my X5. Pointless use as features Connected Drive App on mobile is more effective. The key is large and heavy. Appears like an out of date mobile phone. Not even as effective as the 7 series display key that has more features, like starting and moving the car.
