You may share Digital Key with up to five friends and family members with compatible iPhone devices. When sharing multiple keys, the owner may be prompted to use their own key before sharing. Shared Key access can be sent with the option of certain driving restrictions (e.g., top speed limit and parameters) and can be revoked at any time.
Please note: Shared Key access with "Restricted Driving" is not available for M model vehicles.
Digital key allows the sharing of digital keys with other people. This option is available via the smartphone that is enabled as main digital key. This function must be supported by the smartphone.
To share the digital key, select the corresponding function on the smartphone, for instance in the Wallet app. As soon as a digital key is shared with another person, the person will receive an invitation. When the invitation is accepted, the digital key on the recipient's smartphone will be activated.
Certain functions of the digital key can be limited before handing it over. For example, you can disable restrictions for driving stability control systems and reduce the engine power before giving your Digital Key to a novice driver.

Depending on the recipient’s smartphone model, an authentication may be required for security and safety reasons. An authorized vehicle key, the main digital key or another method may be used for authentication. Follow the corresponding instructions on the smartphone or the control display.
