Anyone able to get BMW Digital Key to work with the Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 pro?
Every time I try to set it up it says "Cant Pair."
Any help would be appreciated. |

Yes. It took a few tries but I got 8 Pro to work with X7. Works well once you get it to connect.

I received my Pixel 8 Pro yesterday but unfortunately my new X5 is in the shop. I'm told I'll get it back next week Thursday and I can try getting it to work then.

It would help if everyone can post the version iDrive they are running as well as the version numbers. It may work on iD7 but not 8 or early versions of 8.5 for example.

When you have time try All Apps -> System Settings -> Remote Software Upgrade to show the installed version. It could be you have an early sub version and others that have it working are later.

For the people that can't get it to work do you get the same error that I'm getting where it says "can't pair."
I tried again a bunch of times today and it will just not work. It always worked perfectly with my Samsungs |

One thing that may help but not sure is I initially received a different message but along the same lines with my Pixel 7 Pro on iD8. The solution was to go into the digital key and click the settings to reset to factory. That solved the problem and although there may be new Bluetooth hardware in the Pixel 8 it's completely open standards based.
Also, worth noting that with both fobs in the X5 the digital key will only pair with the Connected Drive primary users cellphone. Lastly just for good measure put it in the wireless tray as although not required I had to do that once to get the Pixel 7 Pro to pair. The other aspect is the Google Wallet. A Pixel 8 should land with the latest version but check also to see if there is an update not installed. |

My software version is showing 07/2023.45 with no updates available. I also tried updating apps and services per BMW support, however, there were also no updates available.

BMW does not support updates on demand so checking for an update does nothing. They send them out to the vehicle/phone using some unknown, likely to them lol, algorithm. The latest version is 07/2023.58.

If you haven't done this yet I'd nuke the MyBMW app from the phone and reboot. Then in the X5 select digital key and check the box to reset to factory settings (ignore the nag as useless). Then reinstall the MyBMW app. Once you get the tile for setting up digital key plus take both fobs into the X5 and give it a go. If it still doesn't work and you get the unable to pair message click the "learn more" and share what it says. |
