    I own a 2015 BMW X5 35D here in the US. I discovered holding down the unlock does roll my windows down and sunroof open and holding down the lock rolls them back up so that’s cool! I don’t have remote start(boo). Holding down the trunk on the key fob does not close it and yes because I have a tow hitch I can’t open it with the leg swipe. Also pressing lock twice doesn’t disengage my motion detecter inside the vehicle.This video is very informative, thank you!

    You can do it in the driver profile menu and going into settings from that page. The best way is when you're setting up the profiles to have the designated key within the vehicle and moving the other one away from the vehicle. But go into settings, keep one key in the car, and you should be able to re-link it.

    It should roll up the windows when holding lock, I'm not sure which country you're from but sometimes I have seen different key functions depending on the country. Here in the US you should be able to with a 2023 model. If not, another thing you could try is holding down the lock sensor on the door handle to see if that works. This method was what worked on the last generations.

    If you mean your original key fob, that you would have to go into driver profiles settings and then forget the key from there. Easier if you just delete the profile all together and then log back into it with the key you wish to link with it. If you mean your digital key where it can link to the phone, within the settings menu there should be an option there to delete the main key and link another.

    Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. I have not seen it yet, but I strongly believe BMW will upgrade the new 7 series key fob. An example of what this will look like is in one of my older videos that I did on the new x7 LCI, video below. kzread.info/dash/bejne/haGquNKknpnRdtI.html Fast forward to about 1:48 seconds to see the new design. Keep in mind that the shape will be the same but the designs on the key may vary. The iX key is also a similar shape but it doesn't have the fancy M strips that this X7 Msport has. I would personally recommend waiting for the cool key fob covers to come out, they still have yet to release from what i've seen so far, a local dealer should be one of the first ones to get them. They can also run the vin number of the vehicle your boss ordered and check to see if it fits. Your 23 X3 M40i will have the older design which is similar to what you see in this video, congrats on the purchase btw! Lastly, the functions/features on the new key fob and this one remain the same from what i've seen. Simply just a design/layout change. Hope this helps!

    Couple different ways to do it. Digital Key Card: This is the credit card looking thing that comes with BMW's, if your BMW came with one that is. You have to make sure this is activated and when it's ready, tap and hold on the door handle to lock and unlock the vehicle. Then take it and place it on the phone holder tray / charging tray, thats located above the cup holders to start the vehicle. Many NEW BMW's, 2022 / 2023 come with the Phone Digital Key, which you could use the same way as the card but with the use of your phone. The way you set this up, again if your BMW is compatible with it, is to go into the MY BMW App, you should see a setup menu on the first screen if your BMW is compatible with the Phone Digital Key. Hope this helps.

The digital key for iphones and androids is much more convenient. Being that your X5 is new it should be able to link to your phone as a digital key. If you don't already know, simply tap and hold your phone on the door handle to lock or unlock, and place on the charging tray to start the vehicle.
