Android Phone Digital Key
Has anyone successfully added their android phone as a digital key? I cannot (S9+ running Pie) for some reason. I've called BMW (useless waste of my time), the dealer is also worthless, uninstalled, reinstalled etc.

I hope my local Genius can make it work with my OnePlus phone. Couldn't do it at delivery because he couldn't set up my profile in the "system". Plan to go back in a few weeks to see what he can do.

cool, let me know. my local dealer is an abomination so I don't go there and won't (sort of unwelcome there after the messed up my seat) so I'd rather avoid driving 2hrs to get things set up. I'm quite competent with tech stuff being an engineer and having a passion for it. I believe there's an issue with their app or how it's trying to paint my phone via NFC

No. I worked on this for a extensive amount of time with my Galaxy Note 8 about a month back. I was told that Samsung has a security issue with it being programmed at the current time with its NFC. What chaps my butt is in the video that shows a BMW woman using it in a 8 series using my exact Note 8. I kinda gave up on it as I can use the card in my phone case and it does the exact same operation. I may start up the fight again for the phone to work.

The fun with BMW continues....
I need an Android phone to open the car and an Apple phone to use all the additional features in the car! Now it seems the Android phone doesn't open the car. Got to love the irony with BMW..... |

[QUOTE=MystroX5;24407347]see I don't have some if those, BMW Genius line told me they're not supported but I can't get the functionality back so far. I might remove the car entirely from my account and re-add it

That’s not right. You should have exactly the same options as I do. The app went through a strange update on Sunday were my vehicle disappeared for a few hours then showed up again on the app. I would reinstall your app. I am running my original 23 on my iDrive but the app worked flawlessly on my road trip. I used the 3D image 3 or 4 times a day checking on my X5 in the resorts parking lot.

^^ Although I'd feel the same way you do by not having everything that I am supposed to have, I wouldn't sweat not having the "ventilation timer". I think I used that feature once back in 2010 on my '11 335 (a lot of cars ago!) and found it to be pretty useless just blowing hot air around.
At least you have remote 3D and can see if it's locked or not and remote lock if necessary. Hopefully for you Android guys, remote start (or Climatize in BMW speak) will be available sometime soon. It's great to be able to remote start when my train is pulling into the station and have my car warmed up and ready when I get there 15 mins later.

Yes, "Climatize" is the "Remote Start" feature. You tell it what time you want to leave and it'll start your vehicle from wherever you are.

Well for anyone else then. It’s pretty cool when it works. Does the android app have feedback about car status? Mercedes app used to give you confirmation, temp status, and minutes left.
