Steve, this is something I only set up recently.
Mine doesn’t work by just placing in the tray. I had to go into my wallet on the phone, pick BMW key then it worked no bother. HTH

Depending on when your car was manufactured you might have the ultra wideband which means you don’t need to take your phone out your pocket. If you don’t have that, you need to activate it on your bmw app and then select it everytime you want to use it.

Think you need to activate it first in the car maybe? Did you receive a credit card key with the car? If you didn’t then maybe you don’t have digital key. Do you have wireless charging?stevenmac08 wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 3:36 pm Unfortunately I don’t seem to have the option on my bmw app. Most confused
My car due to parts restrictions doesn’t have digital key.

Nope, you need comfort pack to have the comfort access.ori wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 12:22 pmDigital key is standard I believe in all BMWs.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 10:35 amI also wasn’t sure if it was part of a package rather than standard??

I looked into this. Any z4 manufactured prior to June 2020 won’t have the option for keyless entry via iPhone
It became a standard feature on BMWs manufactured after June 2020
You can still use those credit card keys on the ones prior to that with comfort access. It’s just it won’t work with the phone (hence why you’ll find the app won’t offer the option as it’ll know)

I just picked up my car and got both keys and the card. Within an hour I got an email from BMW showing how to set up my Digital Key.

My phone will unlock my cari but I can't figure out a way to lock the car with my phone. My Apple Watch doesn't work at all.
