Confirming a BMW ID
If the BMW ID was created by an authorized
service center and added to the vehicle, you
must then confirm the BMW ID in the vehicle:
1. Select the BMW ID.
2. Scan the QR code shown.
3. Follow the instructions on your smart-
phone.
My BMW app
If a BMW ID has been added to a vehicle, the
vehicle is automatically added to the My BMW
app. This means that app functions can be
used for this vehicle. To do so, the app must
be used with the same BMW ID.
Alternatively, an authorized service center can
add a vehicle to the My BMW App. In this case,
the BMW ID must then be confirmed on the
control display in the corresponding vehicle.
In rare cases, the use of My BMW app func-
tions for this vehicle may be restricted. More
information is shown on the control display.
Primary user
The primary user is the person who first adds
their BMW ID to the vehicle and first adds the
vehicle to the My BMW app. Alternatively, the
primary user can be defined by an authorized
service center.
The primary user has access to the following
settings, for example:
▷
Removing BMW IDs stored in the vehicle.
▷ Change vehicle-wide data protection set-
tings.
▷ Create the main digital key.
Additional information:
BMW Digital Key, refer to page 81.
Automatic driver recognition
For a BMW ID to be activated when the vehicle
is unlocked, a vehicle key or digital key must be
assigned to the BMW ID.
If driver detection has been configured, auto-
matic activation of the BMW ID is triggered by
the following actions:
▷ By unlocking the vehicle using the button
on the assigned vehicle key.
▷ By unlocking the vehicle using an external
door handle. The assigned vehicle key or
the assigned Digital Key must be carried
with you.
▷ By automatic unlocking when approaching
the vehicle. The assigned vehicle key or the
assigned Digital Key must be carried with
you. Depending on the country, it may not
be possible to recognize the Digital Key.
If multiple vehicle keys or digital keys are lo-
cated near the vehicle, BMW IDs are activated
according to the following priority:
▷ The key that unlocks the vehicle triggers
activation of the assigned BMW ID.
▷ If a vehicle key and digital key are detected
at the same time, the digital key triggers
activation of the assigned BMW ID.
▷ The BMW ID of the key last detected on the
driver’s door is activated.
Transfer of the vehicle key
A vehicle key assigned to a BMW ID can be
used to view or change the stored personal
settings.
Before a vehicle key is transferred to other per-
sons, any assigned driver detection should be
canceled. Changes to driver detection can be
made in the BMW ID settings.
The BMW Digital Key provides the option to
transfer a digital key to permit other persons
the use of your own vehicle.
