your MY19 only supports the digital key card which is why you have the Digital Key tile in the app. (if you had a later vehicle model that supports Digital Key for smartphones, it's set up using the same tile.) IOW, the Digital Key tile in the app sets up both the digital key card and/or the Digital Key for smartphones. you can't set up the smartphone Digital Key because you have a MY19 vehicle that doesn't support that feature. however, you can set up the digital key card (the physical card that looks like a credit card) Last edited by nZtiZia; 04-30-2022 at 01:32 PM.. |

Also, I think its "stupid" that my keycard doesn't say keycard, it says "BMW Digital Key". not really that stupid, but I came across my Digital Key, of the proximity card type today, which I never set up, so I start to google the term printed on the card, "BMW Digital Key" and its talking about a phone app, not a proximity card. I think all this adds to some confusion. Last edited by Edubya; 05-01-2022 at 11:42 AM.. |

I found out today that my Galaxy S20 is one model too old to work with the digital key option. It has to be an S21 or later.
It's about time for a new phone anyway, if I can find a carrier unlocked and possible pre-rooted S22. |

I bought a new S21 plus from online shop -well known . The box was sealed with the sticker with the information that phone is form other EU country and was flashed by seller to UK version. If I new it before buy I would not buy it, expecting compatibility issues but this was not advertised even small print. Phone is Hungarian version but is flashed with "UK ?" firmware. Installed all updates and the moment of truth, Digital Key doesn't work . Have big button in MY BMW , can press it, have on the screen SET UP DIGITAL KEY and when press it have message " Your device is not compatible with BMW Digital Key. The same message as on my current S10+. Spoke with BMW ,they asked to update services in the car but this does not help. Have to return phone , cancel contract. It is warning to UK buyers , if you want Digital key make sure that phone is with original software and for UK market. Other apps i.e banks works okay , only DK doesn't work but DK was only reason for me to buy a new phone. I should expect something as they have substantially cheaper offer than directly from mobile network operator. Or maybe someone had similar problem and have solution? I tried everything , for nothing many hours.
Update. After many calls my knowledge extended, car is DK 1.5 but needs 2.0 and this needs update to min 21-11 or better 22-03. But most important that most likely phone is 100% okay. Update 2, Phone was not okay, it has to be UK version not EU. DK is working with S21+. Last edited by BMW and me; 05-20-2022 at 05:51 PM.. Reason: Update 2 |

I'd love a Keycard, and I think my BMW supports it, but it doesn't exist in Europe apparently. I called BMW Hotline and also local dealers, they either never heard of a "key card" or they confirmed that it's only in the US... Is this true? Can't I just order a key card from abroad and active it in my BMW?

I have a situation that makes me think it's an iphone bug -- I have a brand new '22 45e and a very new ihpone 13 Pro, and my BMW app on my phone went from showing the digital key (which I set up, but it NEVER actually worked), to all of a sudden not even showing it as an option. When I then try to set it up just through my car on the dash, it asks me for a pin which I don't have. Not a seamless system that's for sure. It's not a huge deal but sure would be nice to be able to actually use this feature I paid for.

I'm still trying to understand the benefit of the key card. After a few tries I did manage to activate mine and I was able to unlock the door and start the engine. Is that it? The digital phone key, along with the app, allows me to also lock the car and do lots of other things. What am I missing? Are there ways to configure the card to perform other tricks? Useful for valet service maybe?

It has a limited use - but I’ve appreciated having the card in a few moments where I didn’t want to have the whole key with me. |

add'l features of Digital Key: 1) Apple Watch compatbility 2) share key with friends/family 3) works for up to 5h even after iPhone dies due to low battery (unverified if same for Android phones) 4) purportedly more secure than digital keycard which uses earlier version of NFC security **with UWB tech coming, hopefully a software/firware update is all that will be needed for enhanced user experience and security FWIW, i have Digital Key on iPhone in addition to the keycard in my wallet. in the few instances i forgot my key fob, i used my phone rather than the keycard even though i equally carried both. i think it depends on individual use-case Last edited by nZtiZia; 07-17-2022 at 01:41 PM.. |

Okay, thanks. For myself it's likely to be most useful as a backup.
Any thoughts on its utility for valet parking? I know there's a valet mode, but it seems a bit cumbersome to set up on the fly. Not that I plan to let a total stranger who's not a mechanic anywhere near this car. |
