Can't setup digital key
Hi guys, I just picked up my X6 today. But I can't activate the digital key card. When I put the key card in the wireless charging station and try to activate it in idrive-setting-door/access, I can't see a BMW digital key option. All the service are subscribed and my software version is up to date 2019.11
Can someone help? Thanks |

To test it, exit the car and take your key fob and put it somewhere away from the car. There's some info on here about placement of the key card on the door handle. Once that unlocks the car, go in and put the key card on the wireless tray, then foot on brake and start as usual. if it starts up you're good to go. As mentioned before, you should make sure it is tied to your profile. go to CAR > Driver profiles, and tap your profile. You should see something along the lines of driver recognition. There's a couple options for key card, fob, pin, etc. Just make sure the key card is checked and you're good. Hope it works out...I am going off memory and the owner's manual app. |

You need to add the digital key first. Only then can you link it to your profile.
on X5,it is under car; settings; doors/vehicle access; bmw digital key. Then activate digital key. the card must be put in the charging bay in the centre console and you must have a proper key fob in the car. it can take a few attempts if the card is not positioned in the try exactly right. |

Did your dealership even tie the key to your car? I know when I was signing some papers...the only thing they had to do was activate the key. I think that’s tying it to your actual car, but then you have to activate Again. I’m probably using the wrong terms. I’ll go in my car in a little and try to take some pics.

You should have a menu looking like this ( in English). I am afraid however they forgot to activate something and you need to go to the dealer.
FWIW I managed to activate it after trying sometime but haven't used it since. It's in my wallet. First time a lose my key somewhere I will be very happy. With comfort acces its easier to just use the key anyway you don't need to take it out of your pocket and the card needs to be put on the door handle and reader/charger I wouldn't spend 1/2 day at the dealer to activate it. Maybe while doing the first service? |

Is it possible to have the digital key in my Android (Samsung Wallet) and have the BMW credit card key (NF) activated at the same time, or is it 1 or the other? I can only seem to get 1 going at a time, and if the key is in my wallet, there is no option to activate the credit card key, so I can use it without my phone.
