Seat Positioning

To move the seat in the desired direction, the horizontal switch at the rear of your vehicle can be moved forwards and backwards.

These personalised settings can be assigned to up to two driver profiles, which means you and your companion can each have their own preferences.

Increased Security

BMW offers a range of features designed to improve security of your new key fob. Certain of these features are available across all models, while others are only available on certain models. However, they all work together to protect your vehicle from damage and theft.

It uses an embedded computer chip in the key to match the code of the security module inside your car.

In addition to this electronic key system, some vehicles are equipped with a "passive go drive" feature that lets you start the engine without using your key. This feature is useful for those who don't want to carry traditional keys.

Other kinds of key fobs can provide additional features, like biometric authentication that identifies a user based on his or his physical characteristics. This could be fingerprints, scans of the iris, or even voiceprints.

You can also create a password that expires at your key fob. Once it expires, you'll have to create a new password to gain access to the service or system.

The enhanced security features come with one drawback: some may find them difficult to use or difficult to understand. If this is the situation, you should ask a technician who knows the features of your BMW well for guidance.

If you are going to purchase an alternative key fob from an unrelated third party, be sure that it's made for your car and programmed at a dealership. This is particularly important if you are planning to purchase a used BMW.

Dealerships are not able to program a remote they have received from customers unless the customer has provided evidence of ownership, such as an invoice or registration card. Remotes are often delivered to your home by online sellers who sell remotes that are not programmed.

Convenience
