Extra Keys and Driver Profiles
Hi guys! Waiting on delivery of my G05 here in New Delhi, India. The standard keys allotted on delivery are one Display key and one normal key. Since the Display Key is bulky and I personally feel will lose its charm after some time, I am planning to get an additional normal key. The dealership has quoted me US$460 for this. How does that compare to pricing in North America or Europe? My main question is that can I link the display key and one of the normal keys to the same driver profile? Thus, that way I can have two keys synced with my profile and the extra key synced to my partner's profile / settings. I read somewhere that since the seats only have 2 memory functions only two profiles can be saved or something. Can someone share some insights please?
Thank you very much. |

You can have multiple profiles. An answer for you may be to create two profiles for yourself and link a physical key to each of them, then create a third profile for your partner and link the 3rd key to that. |

I wish we had the digital key in India but India does not support ConnectedDrive. I so want to retrofit it in somehow...but alas.. Thank you. |

However the problem solved itself a because the DK is quite bulky and functionality with the connected drive is equal / better that I stopped using it anyway. The display key might be ideal for a women's purse. It light's up and because it is bigger it is easier to find. So maybe give it to your wife? |

You can't change the profile with the memory buttons. It is done in Idrive. So the memory buttons don't control the profile. |

Thanks for the info. Can HUD utility be linked to a driver profile / key? |

Different function for the 8 preference buttons. Different ambient light. Different Seat position and memory. Different setting for idrive. HUD info too, HUD position I don't know if it would change between profiles? |

It used to be that BMWs normally could only support two physical fobs. In some cases, you could add a module that would double that to four. I do not know how many the newest versions can support.
