How to activate BMW key-card?
2 Answers
To activate the BMW key-card, simply place the card against the door handle on the driver's side. Below are detailed information about BMW: 1. Vehicle models: BMW is a German automotive brand under the BMW Group. The company was founded on March 7, 1916. BMW's predecessor was an aircraft factory, initially renowned for manufacturing streamlined biplane reconnaissance aircraft. 2. Precautions: The procedure for turning off the engine and locking the vehicle with the BMW key-card is the same. To start the vehicle, the card must be placed on the wireless charging pad.
Last time I helped a friend with this, activating the BMW key-card was actually quite simple. Place the key card on the center console wireless charging pad, press and hold the brake pedal while pressing the start button for three seconds to activate it. Remember there's a sensing area near the driver's door handle—just hold the card against it for three seconds to lock the car. If there's no response, keep the card separate from your phone as phone signals can interfere with it. The card is thin, so avoid bending it, and don’t store it in your wallet as it can get demagnetized. My advice is to test the lock/unlock function immediately after activation, and make sure the trunk button works too. The location of the sensing area may vary depending on the model year—for older 5 Series models, it’s on the right side of the steering wheel.
