Apple Watch iDrive 8

Hi!

First time BMW owner here, I've recently purchased a 220i G42 and all is well but have a frustrating issue with the Apple Watch.

I can't seem to get this working with my driver profile. iPhone works perfectly but I have to put a pin in when I unlock the car with the watch.

In digital keys it is set to a shared key. I have tried resetting Digital keys , restarting both iPhone and Apple Watch. Making sure I add the Watch at the same time at the iPhone. I just can't get link it to my profile.

Is this even possible? Any ideas?

Thanks all!

It’s a while since I’ve added the watch but it does work.
Try sharing adding the card that is in your phone to the watch using the watch app on the phone and make sure express mode is enabled.

Tried it, still no joy, have an another issue with the welcome lights too... so could be a glitch in my idrive 8 configuration.

Figured out that you need to take the watch off and it needs to go into the charging tray. It then sees the watch to be added. Stands to reason really
