2 Answers
To set the BMW Display Key to Chinese, you need to bring the key close to the car, then press the unlock button, followed by the lock button, and it will switch to Chinese. Below is some information about the BMW Display Key: 1. Function: The BMW Smart Touch Key can display various vehicle status information and control selected functions through the integrated touchscreen. The 2.2-inch LCD smart touch key can display information such as vehicle condition, available fuel/electric range, etc. 2. Features: The BMW Display Key is not just a key with an LCD screen; it also has many auxiliary functions, such as remote control, and the mobile app can remotely operate and start the vehicle with the key.
I used to be a tech enthusiast, so the first thing I did after getting my BMW display key was to set the language to Chinese. The process is actually quite intuitive: you have to do it in the car because the key itself doesn’t have a settings menu. First, make sure the key is inside the car or close to it—don’t stay too far away. Then, start the engine or just enter power mode (press the start button without stepping on the brake). Navigate to the menu via the iDrive system on the center console; use the rotary control knob or simply tap the settings icon on the touchscreen. Look for the "Language Options" under "General Settings," where you’ll find a list of languages—just select Chinese. I chose Simplified Chinese, and after saving, the key’s display switched instantly—super fast. The whole process took less than 3 minutes, incredibly convenient. By the way, setting it to Chinese makes checking the battery status or using remote start functions much clearer, especially for a tech-savvy user like me who loves trying out new features. If it occasionally fails to set, don’t panic—restart the car, check the manual, or wait for a software update to sync.
