NFC-compatible- when will they add iPhone
Big disappointment learning that my iPhone will not work with my Brand New Car. Came accross an article from last summer 2018 that states that BMW was going to have this on the 2019 vehicles. Does anybody know the status of this happening and will it eventually work on iPhone's
Apple, Audi, BMW agree on standard for using smartphones as car keys The Connected Car Consortium is trying to standardizing NFC technology that would let you drive your car without a traditional key fob. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2...apple-samsung/ What is the hold up? BMW or Apple? |

Apple being all about privacy, except for their apps sending your data (WSJ article), they are probably trying to be more cautious than you. |

I have complained about this from the beginning (Dec 18) even asking about using our iWatches.
But now I learn that they will charge us for the flimsy card we were given - some later than others - so one cannot help but wonder what fee BMW will charge for our iPhones if and when we get clearance from Apple.

I have not heard or seen anything on that, where did you see that? I know that the digital keys for smart phones is a subscription services but thought the card was free.

I noticed that the subscription for the digital card was only good for one year from the date of purchase. Perhaps I have this wrong, but I do not have time to get a screenshot tonight.

I see the text is specific about a smartphone, but do you believe that our digital cards have no limitation considering all the other rules?
Note that if they stick with announced dates, those using iPhones will get may 10 day free if we are lucky.

It is probably coming soon considering yesterday's WWDC updates.

I will ask tomorrow when my 2019 goes in, but I expect to get a question mark in response.

I had this on my list for the SA and his response was that it was Apple at fault. He said BMW was working toward a solution but no notion of any ETA.
