Live cockpit greeting and second key

Does anyone know how I can set up my wife’s key (the second of the two issued with the car) so that the car greets her on the screen as it does me, as well as remember all her settings and allow her to use the BMW Connected app?

Do I need to set her up as with a Connected Drive account and then log her in to the car and then link it to the app with the in-car PIN?

Yes, it doesn't seem to allow you to associate more than one user with the same account, which is a bit annoying!? Or you can just leave it as Guest, set the car up as she likes and it will default to that when it sees her key. I think there may be an option somewhere in iDrive that you need to set to associate your user ID/settings with seeing your key.

I setup my wife on the second key. Had to create a connected drive account for her. I didn’t but the vin number in the account as it seems that it can only be linked to one connected drive account.

Log into the car with her account and with her key. Set everything up and link that profile to her key. Job done...
