Thank you for the information. I tried using the Card Key again and this time it worked. I'm not sure why I previously had a problem with it. I did notice it doesn't seem to work unless I remove the Card Key from my wallet. That makes it a little less convenient. As far as the Digital Key is concerned, I can't use it because I have an I-phone. I believe Apple is going to change something in the next major release of their software that will enable BMW to eventually have the Digital Key capability work with an I-phone. We will see.
