How to clear this digital key message?

NomoTesla · Jul 2, 2025

I recently reset my vehicle data in order to get my navigation working again (per service bulletin). That works fine now. But after re-linking my BMW ID back to the car, I get this message every time I get in my car with either the key fob, my mobile phone, or both. I also have to manually select my BMW ID every time I get into the car, it no longer automatically loads like it used to. Settings show my key fob and digital key are linked to my BMW ID.

Does anyone know what's happening and how to clear this?

I figured it out. I had to reset my digital key and then re-link my phone. Now it works fine.

My suggestion is to remove the digital keys from your phone and your watch, And also then re pair the keys and re issue a new digital key. One step at a time, first remove the digital keys. Disable the Physical card Then repair the keyfobs, then create new digital keys

Thank you! I thought that after resetting the vehicle data and re-linking my BMW ID, it would use my existing digital key. But apparently not. The manual isn't clear on this, either. I appreciate the help. In desperation yesterday evening, I deleted my digital key and then re-created it and that magically cleared everything up.

Resetting vehicle data is what is recommended in a new service bulletin for owners whose navigation takes a very long time to load, or doesn't load at all.
