Xiaomi has added support for BMW cars to the Mi Wallet car key function. The new feature expands the functionality of the Xiaomi 12S Pro on the Android platform. Subsequently, the BMW Digital Key now includes Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo, and OPPO brands. The digital key applies to more than 10 of BMW’s latest models. The models include the BMW 3 series, the BMW 5 series, and the pure electric BMW iX3.
Back in September 2022, the BMW Group stated that it is extending the scope of application of the digital key. The move will see the digital key function being compatible with more brands and also applicable to more BMW models. The digital key becomes operational when the user places the upper end of the smartphone close to the sensing area on the driver’s side door handle to unlock the vehicle with one touch. There is no need to connect to the internet after activation. The feature even works when the mobile phone has a low battery. You can thus unlock the door and start the vehicle even in the absence of a cellular or wireless network.
The Xiaomi Mi wallet car key function support for BMW cars is an impressive feature that does not require the internet to operate. The BMW Digital Key originally launched with iOS devices including iPhone 11 and the Apple Watch Series 5 and higher versions. It subsequently incorporated Android compatibility and uses the My BMW app.
