BMW Smart Key

Most new cars on the market today come with keyless fobs that allow drivers to lock and unlock their car without having to insert a physical key. They can be heavy and motorists are more likely to lose or break them.

BMW has introduced a new high-tech twist to their current phone-as-key technology with the Display Key. Find out more about it in this blog post.

Keyless Entry

With BMW Digital Key, you can lock and unlock your vehicle by tapping your smartphone. To get started, simply download the app from Apple Wallet or Google Play Store and follow the instructions displayed on screen. Once you've connected your mobile device that is compatible with your BMW Connected account, you can share access with up to five friends or family members who also have the app. If someone accepts your invitation, they will be able to unlock and start your car without needing to have a physical key. The feature works even when your phone is in airplane mode, with or without an internet connection.

The convenience of the BMW Smart Key goes well beyond unlocking your car. You can make use of the BMW Smart Key to unlock the trunk as well as control your HVAC, check the fuel level and a lot more. You can even prepare the interior of your car so it's warm or cool when you arrive. The only limitation is that your BMW must come with Comfort Access installed by the factory, or retrofitted by a BMW authorized dealer. If you're interested in finding out whether your vehicle is equipped with Comfort Access it is possible to use a free online BMW VIN coder. The window sticker will display "S322A" If you have this feature.

If you're ready to set up a new BMW Digital Key, start by ensuring your smartphone is fully charged and in the same room as your vehicle. Place your iPhone in the tray for your smartphone and click "Start Pairing" on the screen of your car's BMW Connected app. Once your phone is paired with your vehicle, you can take the iPhone from the tray.

Once you're ready to add other users, simply go to your BMW Connected account and BMW Smart Key select "Add New Digital Key'. You'll need to enter your contact details and the VIN number of the vehicle you wish to add access to. Then, you'll be provided with a unique code to enter into your mobile device. Once the code has been entered, your phone will show an BMW key icon in the Apple Wallet app.

Remote Control Parking

The latest BMWs come with a variety of technological gadgets that make drivers feel like James Bond, but the most awe-inspiring is the parking function that is remote controlled on the brand new smart key. The driver can start remotely and park the car from the outside. It could be useful in parking spaces where the vehicle would be too big to leave it or to utilize a standard key fob.

The system is simple to set up, though there are some variations based on the type of BMW you have. If your vehicle has a push button start, you'll require a key fob which you can program into the app. If you own a BMW Digital Key Plus model from 2021 or later you can unlock your vehicle by securing your phone to the door handle, just like you would a regular key.

You can condition the interior using both kinds of BMW by using the remote start feature. This will help keep your vehicle at a comfortable temperature as you drive. It is an excellent way to prepare the vehicle for long journeys. BMW's app allows you to select the desired temperature settings from the comfort of home and start the vehicle. The smart key will send commands to your car, which will activate the fan, or start cooling or heating in the interior.

As you would expect from a device designed to replace a smartphone, the BMW display key has a touch screen to operate and provides a wealth information about your vehicle. You can easily check the condition of your sunroof, windows doors, as well as the alarm system. You can also check for service requirements, the battery level, and any other important functions that require attention.

The display key can be charged like a regular phone. Its USB port can be used to charge compatible mobile phones and has an indicator light that shows the status of charging (Blue=Charging and orange is not charging) and fault messages.

Driver Profiles

If you're looking for an extra layer of security you can program your BMW with the key fob which will alert you when someone is trying to gain entry into the vehicle without your permission. This feature can be used to close your windows and sunroof. This technology could be beneficial for you since it helps you prevent theft and conserve fuel.

BMW remote parking can be activated by pressing the key fob button. This is an excellent feature for those living in urban areas where parking can be difficult. This lets you park your car in tight spaces without worrying about another driver accidentally smashing into your door. This isn't a perfect solution. You're still at risk of someone slamming their door on you when you're not in your vehicle.

The BMW Display Key has an inbuilt screen that can provide you with a wealth of information about the status of your vehicle. In addition to the normal functions for remotes, it will display security information, door and window status, as well as upcoming service requirements on its 2.2-inch screen. You can also check your current battery level and fuel range so you know when it is time to make a stop to fill up with gas.

If you're looking to share your BMW with other people, you can assign specific settings for each driver profile. Your car will be aware of who is driving and adjust its settings accordingly, including steering wheel position, lighting, seat position and climate control. You can set limits for teenagers, such as maximum speed limits and the volume control of your radio.

The key fobs can be shared with up to five users, but you'll need a compatible phone and the BMW Connected app installed on it. You can transfer profiles from your smartphone or set up a guest account for a person who wants to borrow the car. This is one of many smart features that your BMW has to offer. There's a lot more to discover!

Battery Replacement

If the batteries on your BMW fob are getting worn out, you may wonder, "Can I change the battery on a BMW key fob?". The answer depends on the type you have. For example, the older diamond-shaped BMW key fobs aren't designed to have the batteries replaced. The backplate is secured so removing it would damage the fob. However, the latest fobs can have their batteries replaced by simply opening the fob and replacing the CR2450 or CR2032 battery.

For the more popular smart key models (like those in the 1, 3, 5, 7 and X series) You can press an X-shaped tab to take off the valet key made of metal, then open up the access port with an screwdriver or other thin tool. This should reveal a tiny groove. Utilize the tool to push in the small tab and pull off the valet key to reveal the CR2032 battery inside. Replace the battery that was damaged and then replace the cover.

If you own a Display Key with a touchscreen you'll need to take a slightly different approach. While the Display Key is water-resistant, it's not as waterproof as a standard key fob, and you must be cautious about the risk of exposing it to too much moisture. It can survive an excursion through the washer, but it is recommended to treat it as a smartphone. Don't be concerned about rain as long as it stays clear of water.

Our service technicians can disable your fob if you have lost your smartkey and are concerned that it could get into the wrong hands. This will prevent it from being used to unlock or start the vehicle. We are also able to assist you with any repairs needed to the fob, so call us if you need help!
