Digital Key Poll
Curious if others are using the digital key, and if not why.
I'm using mine 100% of the time.

The only time the key has ever been in my car was coming home from the dealership. Give it a try!

So does your car unlock when you get close to it and lock automatically when you leave like it does when you have your key fob? |

If you still need keys for other parts of your life, it might not be worth it. My house and work don't require keys so not having a car key is very nice. Version 2 of the digital key will be a game changer. It will work like the fob does.

I've tried it. In theory its cool, but in practice, its too cumbersome. I just use the key.

Everyone should at least set it up so they have a backup if they forget or misplace their key.

Sucks that BMW decided to not offer the digital key on the 6MT models.

With the key, i get close, it unlocks, I slide in and start the car. I have options should i need them curtesy of the buttons on the fob and dont need to get my phone out or swipe a card anywhere to interact with my car. Im never keen on technology if it feels like its creates more faff than older tried and tested methods simply for the 'cool' affect. Touchscreens in cars are another example but i'll shutup now as ive said enough |

I only use it when I go into the gym, I don't like how slow it is to lock/unlock

Question for those of us without wireless charging is it the same tray where that would be? I ordered the part from other thread to try and upgrade my car but I don't want it to interfere with this feature. I'd rather have digital key than wireless charging.

I'm really looking forward to it whenever I do take delivery. Here in AZ, the state has partnered with Apple to support storing your Drivers License within Apple Wallet. (No official release date besides early 2022 last I checked)
That means I can now have my car key, driver license, and credit cards all on my phone. I'll have no need for my keys or my wallet when I'm going out any more! At least for small trips until I get more comfortable…

Cool novelty. Im glad "most" cars come with it. But, like Sunny said, its too much work. Key in pocket, and its the simple motion of just grabbing the handle, sliding into the car, and hitting the start button. No fluff, no having to open my cupholder door to slide the phone in there. Just get in the car, and go.

I don't like to drive with my phone in my pocket (uncomfortable), so I have to put it somewhere, might as well be the designated tray. I do wish the UWB version was out now, so your phone could stay in your pocket if you want and the experience would be the same as using the fob. I guess I'll have to wait for my next car.
