Principle

locked and locked, as well as started, with a
compatible smartphone.
General information
The availability of the BMW Digital Key de-
pends on the equipment and national-market
version.
BMW Digital Key can be used with a compat-
ible smartphone or other compatible mobile
devices such as a Smartwatch.
To unlock and start a vehicle with a compatible
smartphone, this function must be offered by
the smartphone manufacturer. The BMW app
provides a check to determine if the smart-
phone and the vehicle are compatible.
A driver profile with individual settings can be
assigned to a digital key.
Additional information:
Driver profiles, refer to page 65.
When using a smartphone as a digital key, al-
ways carry a vehicle key or the activated Key
Card with you. This ensures access to the ve-
hicle, even in the event of a smartphone fail-
ure. It is also helpful to have the vehicle key
or Key Card with you if the vehicle needs to
be handed over to another person. You can
then hand over the vehicle key or the Key Card
instead of your smartphone. Always take the
vehicle key with you to a service appointment.
