right cuz everyone wants EVERYTHING STORED on their phone these days. Then when your phone get stolen, you panic cuz all sensitive data is on it and your car might get stolen.
sometimes TOO MUCH TECH all in one isn't a good idea.

VW debuted their 'connected' Golf R with all new features including Digital Key which allows you to replace your VW key with your smartphone! lol

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1075965 They make a credit card that functions as a key so you can RENT a bmw..... Yet when you buy a BMW you get a key the size of a smartphone. |

I don't mind having a phone do all of these things but I don't want it to replace the key fob as some seem to be suggesting. If my phone dies or breaks then I'm screwed lol. Or you'll get this, "I upgraded to iOS12 and now whenever I try to unlock my car, all of my contacts and emails are deleted." |

But this thing is going to be DOA. It's just too frickin' huge! No one is going to want to carry it. An iPhone app would be better -- and not one that requires sending commands through the existing BMW Assist satellite / server farms like today's app does -- it takes AGES to execute the simplest of commands.

And three months? With a large display? I want some of whatever they're on. As I said before, great, it's a halo innovation. I hope they don't trickle it down to the rest of the line. I'd prefer my keys to be getting smaller, not bigger. Hell, with the "kick under" feature (LOVE IT, whatever it's called) I don't really even need the trunk release on the fob. I'd rather have a smaller key in my pocket. |
