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 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 remote control, 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 remote control 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.
Place the smartphone with the digital key to be
paired into the smartphone tray.
Via iDrive:
1. "CAR"
2. "Settings"
3. "Doors/Access"
4. "BMW Digital Key"
5. "Add new digital key"
6. If necessary, enter the Digital Key Code and
the TAN.
After the digital key has been paired, its name will
be displayed in the list of digital keys.
