Sharing digital keys
General
Digital Key enables digital keys to be shared with
other people. This option is provided via the
smartphone enabled as the main digital key.
Passing on authorisation
To share the digital key, select the correspond‐
ing function on the smartphone, for example in
the Wallet app.
As soon as a digital key is shared with a person,
this person receives an invitation. If the invitation
is accepted, the digital key is activated on the re‐
cipient's smartphone.
Authentication
Depending on the recipient's smartphone model,
authentication may be required for security rea‐
sons.
An authorised vehicle key, the main digital key or
another method can be used to perform the au‐
thentication. Corresponding information is dis‐
played for your attention on the smartphone or
control display.
Deleting a shared key

Shared keys can be deleted via the smartphone
associated with the main digital key, via the
smartphone associated with a shared key or in

phone associated with the main digital key if the
vehicle is being used with a key other than the
one that is to be deleted.
If the smartphone associated with a shared key
or iDrive is used to delete a shared key, it will be
deleted immediately.
Deleted digital keys are removed from the list of
enabled digital keys.
Deleted digital keys cannot be restored.
Deletion in iDrive
To enable a digital key to be deleted in iDrive,
there must be an authorised vehicle key in the
vehicle or the main key must be in the smart‐
phone tray.
