It turns out if you have a manual transmission, you don't get the card and there is no way to configure one to work with the car. Apparently, the card uses the same process as the remote start from a phone.

Yeah easy - nobody is gonna buy the manual. We are the chosen few.
BMW will probably discontinue it partially through the production cycle too.
Honestly I think they don't want to offer a stick - they probably find it too expensive to have separate tooling and all that.
