I activated mine as primarily a back up key as for the most part it's pretty inconvenient. To unlock the car you need to physically place it on the door handle vs with the real key you can keep it in your pocket and just grab the handle. To start the car with the NFC key card you just place it on the charging tray and off you go. |

However, with the display key, if I don't charge it for a while, I sometimes worry it won't start; so it might be nice to have a backup. but I think I'd rather switch to the regular key instead of pay for a credit card key with display key. although the display key does charge in the middle wireless charge tray. |

Yes, the 2020s come with two regular keys along with the NFC key card. Seems like BMW short changed the 2019s as that should have been two Display Keys or a Display Key and a regular key. Whom cares about the NFC key card as in reality it is just a backup at best.

When the key is off, press and hold the power button to turn it back on. If the key is discharged, you'll see a picture of a red battery that's telling you to charge the key. Last edited by NOMRW8NG; 04-22-2020 at 05:19 AM.. |
