Key card refuses to work

I have now had two keycards from BMW both ordered for my vin. When putting the keycard into the try the system dosnt acknowledge it's existence in any way, when telling the car to add the card to the system it also doesn't acknowledge the card is in the tray, I begining to think that the wireless charger NFC tray is bad. The dealer can't figure it out either.

Sounds like a bad charging tray. There have been a number of folks on here that have had it replaced for one reason or another and it doesn't seem to be too big of a job. You probably want to have your dealer order one and replace it.

I had a similar issue with my Key Card. I deleted my Profile and re-created it and now it is working (but as a Guest profile).

Picked up my car last week and the tray did not recognize the provided key card. I tried so many times I almost came to terms with not using it period. I happened to unlock the car with the second vehicle key(for no particular reason) and when I placed the key card on the tray that time it recognized it right away and the activation was completed. Sounds like your problem may be more substantial but with how quirky these cars are may be give it a go...

G20 here. Yeah it's frustrating that you can't link a profile with the Key Card. The only option is to link the smartphone Digital Key to a profile and it won't recognize the key card in that option.

On G05, you can definitely link a key card to automatically use a specific driver profile (not just smartphone digital key). The process IS obscure and IS NOT entirely obvious, but it has been documented here and has worked for me, I am operating this way now. I'll try to find the link to the obscure process ...

Here are two posts that will guide:
