Driver Profiles

I set up driver profiles for myself, my wife, and my son. My driver profile is linked to my FOB (the Digital Key), my wife's is linked to the standard FOB, and my sons is linked to the Digital Key. What this gets you is a carefree entrance to the X7. As you walk up to your X7 the lights come on, the doors unlock, the seats and mirrors immediately adjust as you open the door. The steering wheel adjusts as soon as you start the X7. Even the last SiriusXM station you were listening to is preselected. I've been waiting for such a feature for some time but the X7 has it and I love it.

Anyone else set up a profile?

This is something I've liked in other BMW's as well, although the X7 takes profiles to a new level.

Something I've been wondering, though, if we go for a family drive, and my wife brings her purse, that has her car key in it, if she gets to the car first, since the system now auto unlocks and adjusts as you approach the car, will it go to her profile, even if she gets in the passenger seat? Or are the sensors smart enough, so that it can tell that I'm unlocking the door, with my key closest to the driver's door, and it still goes to my profile, even if I get to the car after she does?

We already tested that and X7 can determine which FOB enters the drivers side of the car and activates that profile. They thought of everything!

The X7 easily has the most advanced tech I've ever owned.

Wait... profiles get avatars too? Cool. Pick from a small established set, or is there any capability of uploading custom?

I didn't see a way to upload your own avatar so you pick from a list of pre-determined pictures. They are all of course BMW related.

I see no way to upload pics, but you can simply choose from the list on the screen.
