How can I be sure my eSIM profile is secure?

To ensure highest security, it is recommended to utilize the security PIN feature when logging into your vehicle each time. If you choose to rely on linking only to a vehicle key, anyone with access to your vehicle key could gain access to your BMW ID profile simply by unlocking the doors and, therefore, gain access to your eSIM.
