iOS Digital key with manual
I've tried setting up my digital key on my 6MT car. I see it is possible, and I have an email to set it up, but I click to download it to my wallet, start the process and put the phone in the charging station, and nothing happens. Doesn't help the in the manual the dock is in the armrest and you can't really see what is happening. I see there should also be a way to do it directly in the car with the activation code.
Tips, anyone? Thanks.

Doesn't work for anyone. Not actually supported for MT cars. There are many long sad threads about it.
(Supposedly for supply chain reasons) BMW gave MT cars the old crappy charger hardware that lacks support for Digital Key. AT cars get the NFC tray in the front and it DOES support digital key. Sorry. |

Somewhat related question - can you use the digital key with the Apple Watch to start the car? (I'm still waiting for my M2 to arrive)
I was able to add the MyBMW to the watch face as a complication (in demo mode), and it does have an unlock icon, but I did not see a start icon. Thanks.

I didn't option remote start so I don't know if MyBMW App allows you to remote start, open door, and drive off without a digital key. I'm guessing no, since most manufacturers require sensing a key before allowing you to get out of park. |

That is what I was expecting, but wanted to confirm. If this works it will be awesome.

Well the manual's "tray" is mounted vertically in the armrest storage as there is no room in the shifter console. Not sure how you could configure that.

I was under the impression all the M cars did get the new unit included the 2024 M2…? I have no way to confirm that but I’ve asked my sales manager to look into it.

8.5 on the M is not the same as the regular 8.5 on all other 8.5 vehicles

There is no way to simply rotating the watch down from the right wrist? Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions. I find it amazing that BMW does not make clear how this all works. By luck I did order the wireless charging after making sure my iPhone 14Pro Max fits. But I had no clue that wireless charging was in anyway related to smart keys.

Using a phone, key card, or FOB is easier. I wouldn't rely on Apple Watch as your primary key. |
