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. |
The card is totally separate from the digital key, which is via the "my BMW" app.
Your talking about this card? |
Yes. The BMW dealership Genius did my setup, so maybe you don't need it during setup either. I was really commenting on the person who said they don't want to use the digital key because they have a minimalist wallet and don't want to carry around the card. My point was you don't need to carry around the card, you can just use your phone. I thought you needed it during setup, but maybe not.
