You only need the card to initially set up your digital key on your phone or if you want a backup
Incorrect, as you need both physical keys to set up the iPhone digital key. 2 months ago I changed from a iPhone 12 to 13 and needed both fobs to enable the digital key for my F95 ZCP.

PS I cheated on the poll, as my G83 is held up at the VPC for a 2+ week stop sale, my vote was based on my previous 12 months of the digital key for my F95 ZCP. I prefer the remote engine start using the key fob and having the car cooled down before entering. I wish the G83 remote start could also drop the roof.

However, I did use the digital key this past May when I was a volunteer for the PGA Championship for the week as it was nice not have keys while I walked inside the ropes.
My point was that you don't need the card in your wallet, you only need it during setup.
