A BMW ID or a driver profile with individual set‐
tings can be assigned to a digital key.
When using a smartphone as a digital key, al‐
ways have a vehicle key or the activated Key
Card about your person too. This will mean that
you can still access the vehicle even if the smart‐
phone is not working. It is also useful to have the
vehicle key or Key Card about your person if the
vehicle has to be handed over to another person.
The vehicle key or Key Card can then be handed
over, instead of the smartphone. Always take the
vehicle key with you to a service appointment.

Operating requirements
▷ The smartphone is compatible with BMW
Digital Key.
▷ The vehicle is linked with the Connected‐
Drive account of the registered keeper.
▷ The smartphone battery is sufficiently
charged. The minimum battery charge re‐
quired depends on the smartphone in ques‐
tion.
Enabling the main digital key
The registered keeper's smartphone is enabled
as the main digital key in the vehicle. To do so,
the registered keeper must provide proof of au‐
thorisation for their vehicle.
Proof of authorisation can be started via the
BMW app or the activation code in the corre‐
sponding smartphone function, for example in
the Wallet app. Both vehicle keys must be in the
vehicle during enabling.
Follow the enabling instructions in the Digital Key
menu within the BMW app or on the control dis‐
play.
Sharing digital keys
General
Digital Key enables digital keys to be shared with
other people. This option is provided via the
smartphone enabled as the main digital key.
Passing on authorisation
To share the digital key, select the correspond‐
ing function on the smartphone, for example in
the Wallet app.
As soon as a digital key is shared with a person,
this person receives an invitation. If the invitation
is accepted, the digital key is activated on the re‐
cipient's smartphone.
Limiting the range of functions
Certain functions of the digital key can be limited
before handing it over. For example, if the digital
key is handed over to a novice driver, the switch-
off of driving stability control systems can be ex‐
cluded. For more information, refer to the Con‐
nectedDrive portal and the BMW app.
Authentication
Depending on the recipient's smartphone model,
authentication may be required for security rea‐
sons.
An authorised vehicle key, the main digital key or
another method can be used to perform the au‐
thentication. Corresponding information is dis‐
played for your attention on the smartphone or
control display.
Deleting digital keys
General
Deleted digital keys are removed from the list of
enabled digital keys.
Deleted digital keys cannot be restored.
