No, but you should be able to buy one separately like all GXX cars

Is the display key even worth it? Isn't it $900 for basically the same stuff you can do in the app?

I use the display key-as a regular key. I haven't powered up the display on mine in months. And now that you can use your iPhone as a car key you don't even need to carry any keys around.

Of course they leave us Android users out of luck. The display key looks huge though. I'm not carrying that thing around.

Could you remotely start the engine with the display key? Assuming it should as there is no option to choose both remote engine start and the display key.

I haven't touched my keys since I got the car now that Digital Key works on the Pixel 6 Pro for Android. I already carry my phone everywhere I go so no way in hell I'm going back to a hard key.

With the Pixel 6 Pro and UWB, can you leave your phone in your pocket and unlock/start the car, like you can with a normal key fob? I have a Pixel 6 (not Pro) and the phone has to be held next to the door handle or placed in the tray inside the car to do anything, which I find clumsy...so I keep carrying a standard key fob.

I don't think UltraWideBand has been enabled for the Pixel6 Pro yet with BMW. I believe it is coming from what I read.

Its still NFC based and the use case is exactly as yours right now.

If they can get it to the point where I can just have the phone in my pocket I might consider less keyfobs. Although I do still sometimes like to unlock or open the trunk from a distance. Maybe we'll eventually get to "Hey Google (phone in my pocket) unlock the car"

Ahh, I didn't realize it wasn't available yet, interesting! Feel like the phone is the ultimate "display key" but, in the first worldiest of first world problems, I cannot be bothered to get it out of my pocket to use it. Thanks for the info!
