I followed the directions and it failed several times. Then I removed my phone case and it linked up. Now when I hold my phone by the door handle it will lock and unlock. I guess this means it’s setup? Does this mean I don’t have to carry my key? Do I need to have the digital credit card thing with me or just my phone. This seems pretty cool! |

Ive just noticed that ive now got the digital key on my S21 ultra. Will give it a whirl as soon as I get a chance.
Anyone done it yet on Android since the option appeared on the BMW app? |

The feature is cool and all, but I think I'll stick to my key fob. It would have been nice if the digital key worked from any door and also the trunk. I kept finding myself running to the driver's side door if I wanted to open the trunk or any other door. It was a bit inconvenient.

manual seems to indicate this feature is only available with steptronic transmission for some reason!

But typing all that, I have to say, this is the firstest of first world problems. "Getting my phone out to unlock and start my M3 is so time consuming!" My 1988 Jeep has a separate key for door locks and ignition...and they were directional, only cut on one side. Had to dig my keys out, figure out which one, inevitably put it in the lock the wrong way, then put in the right way, then fumble for the other one...how did people survive?? |

My digital key is working fine on my android phone but I gotta say I do prefer the key.
The digital key i find is useful if I need to get into the car on the fly, i.e. Im out in the garden or near the car to get something out etc as I've always got my phone with me. But as I have to remove my rather large S21 Ultra from its case each time to start my car, the actual key is a still the best way for me. |
