The vehicle owner sets a Digital Key Code with

transferred at a later date.
Acquiring digital keys
An initial digital key is provided in the BMW Con‐
nected app when the vehicle is purchased.
Additional digital keys can be acquired via the
BMW ConnectedDrive Store. Acquiring digital
keys may incur costs.
Digital keys have limited validity periods. The ex‐
piry date can be checked in the BMW Connec‐

If a digital key has expired, the vehicle can only
continue to be locked and unlocked for a limited
time and the number of engine starts is limited.

Passing on digital keys
The vehicle owner can pass a digital key for
his/her vehicle on to another person with a com‐
patible smartphone via the BMW Connected

When a digital key is passed on, a TAN transac‐
tion number is generated. Using this TAN and
the Digital Key Code, another person can regis‐
ter the digital key in the vehicle. This means the
driver can let someone else use the vehicle with‐
out having to be in the vicinity of the vehicle
themselves.
