The BMW Digital Key allows the use of an iPhone as a fully digital car key, thanks to the Apple Wallet.

At the last Apple Global Developer Conference (WWDC 2020), BMW was announced that it will be the first automaker to allow customers to use an iPhone as a dematerialized car key, allowing them to open, lock and to start a BMW without holding the physical key.

Called BMW Digital Key, this new functionality is configurable via the BMW Connected app for iOS, and is available in 45 countries on the various vehicles of the German manufacturer: BMW Series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, X5 , X6, X7 and Z4, manufactured after July 1, 2020. Compatible models are the iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, SE (2nd generation), as well as the Apple Watch Series 5 , on iOS 13.6 and WatchOS 6.2.8.

In practice, once the BMW Digital Key is installed in the Apple Wallet app, such as a payment card or a loyalty card, all you have to do is present the iPhone near the door handle to unlock it. Once inside, the iPhone must be placed in the smartphone storage compartment in order to start the car with the Start / Stop button. Access protection to the BMW Digital Key on the iPhone can be done by Face ID, Touch ID or unlock code, and an Apple Watch paired with an iPhone can also be used as the Digital Key.

Facilitate car sharing and parental control
The dematerialization of the car key also makes it easier to share it: in fact, it is possible to share your BMW Digital Key with a maximum of 5 people, via a simple invitation sent by iMessage. At any time, the car owner can revoke this authorization, while parents concerned about their young drivers can configure the car parameters associated with the Digital Key, in order to limit the maximum speed, engine power, or even the maximum volume of the multimedia system.

COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 Update

People with COVID-19 should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms. There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19.

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, everyone should:
Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay at home as much as possible.
Put distance between yourself and other people (at least 6 feet).
Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily.

Watch for symptoms.
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness.

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms or combinations of symptoms may have COVID-19:

Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Or at least two of these symptoms:
Fever
Chills
Repeated shaking with chills
Muscle pain
Headache
Sore throat
New loss of taste or smell

HOW IT SPREADS
It is thought to spread mainly from person to person, mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus.

COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the last coronavirus that was discovered. This new virus and disease was unknown before the outbreak in Wuhan (China) in December 2019.
