How to Use Digital Key Plus for iPhone in BMW OS8

Jul 26, 2022

Contactless key moments.

Once you add your Digital Key Plus or have accepted a shared Digital Key Plus, your compatible iPhone or Apple Watch can unlock, lock and start your BMW – without taking it out of your bag.

For touchless openings, make sure you have Bluetooth activated on your phone. Touchless opening needs to be activated in the car. Go to “Menu,” “Doors and Windows,” and choose “Unlock when approaching.”

You can set your car to automatically “Lock when walking away.”

With your iPhone and Apple Watch, lock and unlock the car and open the trunk of your car when you’re close by or check on the current status of the doors and your trunk.
