iPhone 13 and Digital Key not working in 2 cars

MikeElmendorf · 09-25-2021, 03:04 PM

Hi -

Just set up my iPhone 13 Pro Max today, replacing an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

On the 11, digital key through my phone and Apple Watch were working great on both my 2021 M550 and new 2022 X5.

However, setup of the digital key is failing on both cars with the iPhone 13.

Anyone else had similar issues?

Thanks.

Same. M5C and iPhone 13 pro. Did a reset in the settings>doors/windows area. Nothing helps

That iOS 15 update did the trick. Back up and running on both vehicles. Thanks!

To be a bit more clear here: There was a minor security update for iOS 15 deployed shortly after launch. Check your phones for an update. After that update, I was able to setup the digital key with the iPhone 13 in both vehicles.
