BMW unlocks Digital Key Plus connection for Samsung users


BMW Australia launched Digital Key and Digital Key Plus functionality for Samsung users in Australia.

Samsung users with the My BMW app will now be able to unlock and lock and start their BMW without a key thanks to ultra-broadband technology.

We’ve reached out to BMW Australia to confirm which vehicles support these features. In Europe, only vehicles manufactured from November 2022 onwards and equipped with the BMW Comfort Access System, support Digital Key and Digital Key Plus.

Customers using the Digital Key Plus feature will be greeted with a unique light display upon approach.

An earlier update is provided customers the ability to check tire pressure, as well as synchronize their calendar. The latter allows planned cruise positions to be relayed directly to the vehicle’s navigation system.

The app will also display electric vehicle and plug-in vehicle charging history, including battery status.

The My BMW app allows iPhone and Android users to share access to their vehicles with five other users.

BMW introduced this functionality to Apple users in 2021, with vehicles manufactured from July 2020 to be compatible.

With the addition of Android integration, the luxury brand says Samsung users from today will have access to Digital Key and Digital Key Plus in the My BMW app.
