iphone digital Key
As you can see I have a 2019 M850i running software version 07/2020.80. I have a iphone SE 2020 with software version 14.3.
I've tried to set up the digital key for my phone with no success. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong. What's the trick. I have both key fobs in the car. I go to the digital key setup in I drive and follow the instructions. I put my phone in the charging tray, the light turns blue then goes to orange, but then times out. Is it the car, phone, or do I need to do something else. Has anyone else done this with success. Thanks.

Unfortunately CarKey is only compatible with most BMWs built after July 1, 2020. We can use the BMW "Key Card" with our cars if you have one but the iPhone specific CarKey function won't work with previous vehicles as it uses new hardware according to BMW.
As far as your charging mat though separate from the CarKey, I am concerned about it flashing orange for you when it comes to using the tray for charging. I would make sure you don't have anything between the phone and your case that is metallic, magnetic, or obstructing in any way between the center of the back of the phone and the charging mat. A standard protective case is ok on a phone, so long as nothing is wedged in between the phone and the case in the middle of it. When it flashes orange that means it is not charging due to an issue, most likely due to some kind of interference. Sorry about the CarKey, I am upset as well having a 2020 without this capability as my car was built in 19. For cars built after July 1, 2020, CarKey is setup in the BMW ConnectedDrive app on your phone. -Joe

Thanks Joe, That's what I thought...But I was hoping that the upgrade to the 07/2020.80 software would of changed that. As for the orange light, that only happened when I was trying to set up the digital key.. It charges fine, and the light stays blue.
Once again thanks.
