BMW ensures compatibility with iPhones and just a couple of Android devices, they are very specific which ones.

Last email I received from BMW Canada states “Thank you for contacting BMW Canada.

Please be advised that at this time, the Google Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro are the only Android phones compatible with the BMW Digital Key in Canada. In the event that you have any other Android phones, please know that they will not display an option for a digital key via your BMW App due to being incompatible.”

After this, I remember seeing a release to accommodate Samsung S22 models. So YMMV as far as Android devices are concerned. I would bet some devices can get it working without them being “officially” supported, though.

That said: Screw you anyway because us Manual transmission drivers can’t get it working anyway, so I hope you can’t get yours working either LOL
