The BMW Digital Key has been evolved to help vehicle owners more intuitively share their car with friends, family or loved ones without having to worry about what device they're using. The digital car key can now be shared via iOS and Android devices, and will even enable users to send out access through email, SMS and any other kind of messaging service. This will work effectively for maximizing access to help share the digital car key with anyone at anytime without delay.
The updated BMW Digital Key is also being further updated in the near-future to add in compatibility for Samsung devices. The updates will also enable users to share the key with someone they don't have as a contact when using Apple AirDrop.
