You can still warm your car up and lock your car while leaving the key fob in, just take the key that goes in the fob and lock the door. If your car is running it can be jacked (with or without fob...unless theres some sort of key fob distance to the car). But I did that for about 6 months then the key/battery light came on, then I stopped. The slot charges your key fob while youre driving. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but I'm still new to all of it.

Only works with UK and US BMW. It's there so a vallet service can park your car without you leaving the key behind. In Eastern and Northern Europe it's unusual to find a vallet.
@uncommonsense_36023 жыл бұрын
No disrespect but that doesn't make any sense. Seems it would disrupt the normal flow of the valet system of handing valet keys or leave keys in car, get ticket number, return to valet with ticket number, get in car with keys already in it. Also the BMWs comes with a valet key that doesn't have access to certain features (trunk, glove box etc). I will admit Im not sure if it is standard for a new BMW to come with key fobs and a valet key, nor have I ever used valet before. Again no disrespect, and I am new to BMW so I don't mind being 100% wrong. I will check BMW manual at some point because some of the suggestions in the comments also dont make any sense.
