Transform Your Phone Into A BMW Key 

BMW is always at the front of innovation so it is no surpise that they have teamed up with Apple to become the first carmaker to offer customers the BMW Digital Key on their iPhone to access their BMW. This is now eliminating the need for physical keys, and the digital car key allows you to conveniently, and securely lock, unlock, and even start your BMW.

On select BMW models, you can now use your iPhone as a key with security and data protection guaranteed thanks to secure and encrypted technology. So what happens if your iPhone dies? Well if your iphone happens to run out battery then you can still lock, unlock, and start your BMW for up to five hours. Now if your iPhone was manually powered off, then your Digital Key will only work once your iPhone is powered back on.

Easy To Use

Using the BMW digital key is easy and convenient thanks to the powerful technology that lies in both your iPhone and your BMW. When you want to unlock your driver’s door, you just simply hold the top of your smartphone near the door handle until you see “Done” and a checkmark on your display. Unlocking your doors with your BMW digital key is literally that simple and easy. Now for safety purposes, your iPhone will only unlock your driver’s side door and not any of the other doors. 

This feature is also really east to setup and is hassle-free thanks to the preset Express Mode that allows you to seamlessly sync your BMW with your iPhone, and your iPhone doesn't even need to be unlocked before opening the door or starting your vehicle. For additional safety, you can disable this function and require FaceID, TouchID, or even a passcode to be entered before your iPhone will unlock and start your BMW.
