A feature that makes your driving experience truly unique is your BMW ID.
- Tap the BMW ID menu and select Add BMW ID.
- With your smartphone, scan the QR code on the display.
- After your profile has loaded, toggle the Vehicle Key to link the key to your profile.
- Select “finish” to complete the setup and add your BMW ID to the car.
- You will need to use the My BMW App to complete setup on your mobile device.
- Open the My BMW App, follow the prompts as directed, and accept the ConnectedDrive Terms of Use to finalize the process.
Your vehicle is now added to the My BMW App. All user data and profile settings you’ve saved in the BMW Cloud will be downloaded. Your personal settings are automatically activated when you open the car with a linked key.
In the BMW ID profile settings, you can see which keys are linked to your profile, manage profiles, and even adjust Lock Screen options via the settings. If you have not already linked a key to your profile:
- Tap the BMW ID menu
- Select “profile settings,”
- Then select the plus sign to link a key to your profile.
You also have the option to link your smartphone as a Digital Key to your BMW ID. Additionally, you can add or remove a PIN to prevent unwanted access to your screen:
- Select the Lock Screen menu
- Click the plus tile to set a PIN, and follow the prompts.
It is important to note, when a PIN has been added to a BMW ID, it must be entered every time to activate the screen, similar to how a smartphone operates. If you wish to remove your PIN, select the trash can tile on the screen and follow the prompts.
