It's Time To Expand Your Bmw Smart Key Options
BMW Smart Key
The majority of new cars for sale today have keyless fobs, which allow drivers to lock, unlock, and even start their vehicle without needing a physical key. They can be heavy, and drivers are more likely to lose or break them.
BMW's Display Key adds a high-tech new twist to their phone, utilizing key technology. Find out more information about it in this blog post.
Keyless Entry
BMW Digital Key allows you to lock and unlock your car with a simple tap on your smartphone. Download the app via Apple Wallet or Google Play Store and then follow the directions on the screen. Once you've added your mobile device that is compatible with your BMW Connected account, you can share access with up to five family or friends members who also have the app. If someone accepts your invitation, they will be able to unlock and start your vehicle without needing to have an actual 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 just unlocking your car. It can be used to open the trunk, control the HVAC, check your fuel range and more. You can even prepare your car's interior to ensure that it is cool or warm when you arrive. The only limitation is that your BMW must come with Comfort Access installed at the factory or retrofitted by a BMW authorized dealer. You can verify whether your car is equipped with Comfort Access with a free online BMW VIN decoder. If you have the feature, it will display "S322A" on the window sticker of your vehicle.
When you're ready to set up a brand 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 of your smartphone and then select 'Start Pairing' on the screen of your car's BMW Connected app. Once your phone and the vehicle are connected you can take your iPhone from the tray.
You can add new users by going to your BMW Connected Account and selecting 'Add New Digital Key. You'll need to enter your contact details and the VIN number of the vehicle you'd like to add access to. You'll then receive an entry code to enter on your mobile device. After entering the code, your smartphone will display a BMW Key icon in the Apple Wallet App.
Remote Control Parking
The most recent BMWs come with a variety of features that make the driver feel like James Bond. However, the new smart key's remote parking control could be the most impressive. The driver can start remotely and park the car from outside. It could be useful for parking in tight spaces in which the vehicle is too large to leave. Also, it could be used to replace an old key fob.
The system is easy to set up, but there are some differences depending on the type of BMW you own. If your vehicle has an ignition button and you'll need to have a key fob that you can program to the app. If you own a BMW Digital Key Plus model that is 2021 or older you can unlock your vehicle by securing your phone to the door handle, as you would with an ordinary key.
You can set the temperature of the interior of both models of BMW by using the remote start feature. This will allow you to keep your vehicle at a comfortable temperature as you drive, and is a great way of preparing the vehicle for long trips. BMW's app lets you select the desired climate settings from the comfort of your home and start the vehicle. The smart key will transmit the required commands to your vehicle, which will activate the fan and start heating or cooling the interior.
Like you'd expect from a device that's designed to replace smartphones, the BMW display key comes with a touch screen for operation and offers a wealth of information about your vehicle. You can easily check the status of your windows, sunroof, doors and the alarm system. You can also see service requirements, the battery level, and any key functions that require attention.
The display key can be charged just as a normal phone. Its USB port lets you charge compatible mobile phones. A light indicator shows the charging status (Blue=Charging and Orange is not charging), as well as any fault messages.
Driver Profiles
If you're looking for an extra layer of security you can set up your BMW with a key fob that will notify you if someone is trying to gain entry into the car without your permission. This feature can be used to close your sunroof and windows. This technology is beneficial to you because it helps you to avoid theft and also save fuel.
BMW remote parking can be activated by pressing the key fob button. This is great for people who live in areas where parking can be a nightmare. This will allow you to park your car in tight spaces without having to worry about another driver accidentally hitting your door. It's not the ideal solution. You're still at risk of someone slamming their door into yours when you're not at the wheel.
The BMW Display Key is a premium key fob equipped with a built-in display which offers plenty of information on your car's status. It will display information about security, window and door status, and upcoming service requirements. It also shows your current fuel level and battery electric range, so you'll know when to stop to buy gas.
If you want to share your BMW you can set up distinct profiles for each driver. The car will automatically adjust the settings to suit the driver, including seats, steering wheel lighting, and climate control. You can set limits for teens, such as the maximum speed limit and controls for the volume of the radio.
The key fobs can be shared with five other users. But, they must have an appropriate smartphone and the BMW Connected application installed. You can also import profiles from your phone or create a guest profile for a friend who is borrowing the car. This is one of many smart features that your BMW has to offer. There's plenty to discover!
When the batteries in your BMW key fob are running out and you're wondering, "Can I replace the battery in the BMW fob?" The answer to this depends on the type of BMW fob you have. The older diamond-shaped BMW fobs, for instance, are not designed to be battery replaced. They are glued to the backplate, so trying to pry off the backplate could do some damage to the fob. However, the latest fobs can get their batteries replaced by opening the key fob and switching out the CR2450 or CR2032 battery.
You can remove the metal valet keys from the most popular smart key models (1, 3, 5, 7, and X) by pressing a small tab. Then you can open the access port using the help of a screwdriver. This should reveal a tiny groove in the port opening. The valet key can be removed by using the tool to pull the tab out and push it out. Replace the battery, and then replace the cover.
If you own a Display Key that has a touchscreen, you will need to adopt a different approach. While the Display Key is very waterproof, it's not as water-proof as a standard key fob, so you must be cautious when exposing it to too much water. While it is able to survive an immersion in the washing machine, it is recommended to treat it just as you would treat a smartphone- don't worry about rain, but keep it away from a body of water.
Our service technicians can disable your fob if you lose your smartkey and are worried that it might be lost to the wrong person. This will prevent it from being used to unlock or start the vehicle. Contact us if the fob requires repair.
