Page: 97 / 432

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 control
systems can no longer be activated. For more in‐
formation, refer to the ConnectedDrive portal.
The transferred digital key can be removed in the
vehicle or via the BMW Connected app at any
time.
If the digital key has been removed via the BMW
Connected App, the vehicle can still be unlocked
and locked for a limited period of time and only a
limited number of engine starts will be possible. If
the vehicle is then used with another digital key
or with a vehicle key, the removed digital key can
no longer be used.
The corresponding information is shown on the
Control Display.
Pairing digital keys in the vehicle
To pair a digital key, a vehicle key must be lo‐
cated in the vehicle or an active digital key of the
vehicle owner must be in the smartphone tray.
If the digital key was transferred by the vehicle
owner, it may not be possible to meet this re‐
quirement. In this case, it is necessary to enter
the Digital Key Code and the TAN. The vehicle
can already be unlocked with the transferred dig‐
ital key before it is paired.
