How to Program a New BMW Digital Key The new BMW Digital Key is a cutting-edge piece of technology that transforms your smartphone into a key. It is able to unlock and even start the car with NFC without a physical key or fob. Gather up your working BMW key, and then get inside your vehicle with the doors and windows closed. Turn the BMW key to position 1, and then insert it into the ignition. The electronics should come on, but the engine remains off. Battery Replacement The key fob is a tough small device, but it's resistant to wear and tear. The battery is likely to need to be replaced. It's a simple fix. The replacement battery is the standard CR2032 and can be replaced using a screwdriver and the valet key. Be sure to remove the clip that holds it in place first! To get access to the battery, you must remove the tab on the side. It is also necessary to take off the valet key that will reveal a tiny access hole. Use a screwdriver carefully to open the port, and then insert the battery. You will need to ensure that the battery is properly positioned and that the case is closed securely. If your BMW features a feature called Comfort Access, you will need to deactivate your current key before you are able to create a new one. You can perform this process using your iDrive system, or via the BMW Connected App. You can then activate your new key by entering your car by using the handle on the front door. Your vehicle will detect the key automatically and begin the engine. BMW Digital Key Plus is an excellent example of seamless integration. This technology makes use of ultra-wideband technology (UWB) which allows your phone to “range” and automatically determine the distance between your vehicle and your phone. This technology lets you unlock your car and turn on the lights, and even start the engine without having to remove your phone from your pocket. BMW Digital Key Plus offers many useful features.
