vehicle key with you if the vehicle has to be
handed over to another person or a service cen‐
ter. You can then hand over the vehicle key, in‐
stead of your smartphone.
Key card
The vehicle is delivered with a key card. The key
card can be used in the same way as a compati‐
ble smartphone with a digital key.
A digital key that has already been paired with
the vehicle is installed on the key card. The digi‐
tal key must be activated via iDrive.
When you exit the vehicle, take the key card with
you, as it can be used to start the vehicle.
Connection to the vehicle
The communication between the vehicle and the
smartphone uses near-field communication,
NFC.
The vehicle is unlocked with the outside door
handle on the driver's side. The smartphone
must be placed into the smartphone tray to pair a
digital key and to start the engine.
The vehicle also detects a digital key when the
smartphone is switched off.

has a sufficient charge. The necessary mini‐
mum charge of the rechargeable battery de‐
pends on the smartphone.

Proving authorization
The vehicle owner must present proof of authori‐
zation for his vehicle at the service center to be
able to use BMW Digital Key. It is possible to use
the key card without proving authorization.
The vehicle owner configures a digital key code
at the service center so that digital keys can be
transferred at a later time.
Purchasing digital keys
An initial digital key is provided in the BMW Con‐
nected app when the vehicle is purchased.
Additional digital keys can be purchased via the
BMW ConnectedDrive Store. The purchase of
digital keys can cause costs.
The period of validity of a digital key is limited.
The expiration date of the validity can be
checked in the BMW Connected app and in the
vehicle.
If a digital key has expired, the vehicle can only
be unlocked and locked for a limited period and a
limited number of engine starts is possible. The
corresponding information is shown on the Con‐
trol Display.
Transferring digital keys
The vehicle owner can transfer a digital key for
his/her vehicle to another person with a compati‐
ble smartphone via the BMW Connected app.
When a digital key is transferred, a transaction
number TAN will be generated. Another person
can pair the digital key in the vehicle with this
TAN and the Digital Key Code. This makes it
possible to allow another person to use the vehi‐
cle without having to be at the vehicle.
The TAN and the Digital Key Code should only
be disclosed in person or by phone.
The Safe Share function is available depending
on the software version of the BMW Connected
app. If this function is activated prior to hand off,
the digital key is subject to certain restrictions.
For example, some of the driving stability sys‐
tems can no longer be activated. For more infor‐
mation, refer to the ConnectedDrive portal.
The transferred digital key can be removed in the
vehicle or via the BMW Connected app at any
time.
