Introducing the BMW Digital Key

Many new BMW vehicles made during summer 2020 or after come with the BMW Digital Key, an exciting technology that allows Nashua drivers to use their iPhone as a car key. Tulley BMW of Nashua is one of the BMW dealers in NH that offers this feature, so we’re here to do a deep dive into how the BMW Digital Key for iPhone works below!

BMW Digital Key for iPhone: How it Works 

BMW Dealers in NH are now able to upgrade any Manchester driver’s commute with the BMW Digital Key. Not only does this technology save you the hassle of keeping track of your car keys, it also allows you to securely authorize up to five other people to use your BMW Digital Key. Here’s how it works:

• You set up the BMW Digital Key with the BMW Connected App. To find out if your BMW and phone can be used, log into the BMW Connected App, select your vehicle, and look for the “Digital Key” section under the “Vehicle” tab. Then follow instructions for setup.
• To use the BMW Digital Key, just hold your phone within 1.5 inches of the driver’s side door. You can even set it to Express Mode, which doesn’t even require you to unlock your iPhone to use the key.
• You are even able to unlock your vehicle if your iPhone runs out of battery. The BMW Digital Key will work for five hours after your battery is drained.

You can share your BMW Digital Key by sending anyone an invitation through your iPhone’s Wallet app. This gives your friends temporary permission to unlock your car, permission which you’re able to revoke at any time.
