BMW Digital Key for IPhone
I upgraded my iPhone and now I can't set it up as a digital key. Anyone have any idea? I have tried with the code from an email and the Connected App. I have both keys on me. Any help in advance greatly appreciated.

I had the code as well but didn't go that route. The way I did it was open the BMW connected app and under your car, scroll down till you see History, under that should be digital key (if your car has that feature). Press the digital key button and the app will walk you through the rest.

I tried setting mine up to the other day on a iPhone 12 Pro Max and got the same errors. Hopefully the app works better.
Meanwhile the CarPlay experience and been less than stellar. I think I finally figured it out. This is why I hate upgrading my phone. it takes me a month to get back to normal |

Still can't figure it out. Does it have something to do with the Credit Card access key? Can I have both the Key for iPhone and the included credit card?

Had the exact same issue until I realized the engine cannot be running when you set up the digital key — they should really add this instruction somewhere. Make sure the vehicle is only in standby/auxiliary mode and both key fobs are inside, then try again.

I don't know why this isn't stated during the setup process! |

How do you guys like it?
I had set it up for my G05 X5, but hate using it since it doesn't respond as fast as the regular key. I have to stand by the door about 2-3 minutes and a few tries before it actually engages. Sometime it works immediately, most of time, I have to try it a few times.

If it does work eventually by just standing near the door, that would be good to know. [IMG]https://i0.wp.com/9to5mac.com/wp-con...=all&ssl=1[/IMG] |

I set up mine not too long ago, and it works like a charm. I also ported the functionality to the apple watch, and now I just have to bring the watch close to the door handle, no need to even touch the watch or the iPhone to the handle. I also drove the vehicle just by having the watch, no iPhone in the charger tray, no key with me. So far is working as expected.
