Can't Set Up Digital Key
Has anyone spec'd out digital key but NOT been able to set it up? I have an iPhone 13 mini and was assured by BMW Genius that my phone should be compatible, but I don't see the option to set it up. The button just literally is not anywhere in the MyBMW app. I also confirmed that digital key is enabled with my car in case there was some kind of mix up. When I click on digital key in iDrive 8 it just says that I need to set it up through my phone.
Put off setting this up for a while because not really a priority for me but it's always annoyed me since I paid for it and haven't used it yet. |

That's not an option. When I click on anything related to digital key in iDrive8 it just gives me a useless popup about making sure it is enabled on the car and having my BMW ID setup. Yes, it was setup when I drove off the dealer's lot. If you post a video of setting up digital key with iDrive8 I will believe you. Right now all the tutorials online are using MyBMW app.

I set mine up as it describes here https://www.bmwusa.com/content/dam/b...DigitalKey.pdf Remember it only works on iPhone. You can always ask your genius to assists. BTW, I don’t really care if you believe me. I was just trying to help you. |

I have already asked BMW Genius for help. They gave me useless advice to work with my local dealer. |

Morons work at my dealer. Their advice will be no different than what I can find online.

The only suggestion I can give is to log out of your MyBMW account in the app. Delete and re-install the app and log in to your account. Hopefully the digital key tile (as shown in the pdf) will show up. Do make sure to keep both keys in the car when you try again. If this doesn't work, going to your dealer Genius might be your only option. |

I needed to relink my phone to my ID after the last SW upgrade (only needed one key in the car to do it this time). Could be the SW upgrade cleared a few things out |

Anyways, after a lengthy talk on the phone with these people, apparently my car has a recall out on it for the digital key. Funny that they hid this from me for 3 months. |
