Two keys tied to one profile
My wife and i don't want separate profiles. All that matters is that we each have a seat memory (covered by having 2) and we can each have our phones connected. This key-tied-to-profile with entirely different settings is pretty confusing and frustrating. We swapped drivers and my seat memory wasn't in her profile - why do we insist on this level of complexity in cars? Good lord
However, its not clear how to connect up both keys. Also seems like if there is no key connected it requires a PIN? Can't even imagine how that kind of decision gets made. Also, and this is another smdh example of usability genius, have you ever gotten in your car, left the door open, hit the On button to play with something, then tried to turn off the car? Can't do it. Have to actually lock it to get iDrive to turn off. No amount of hitting the On/Off button will cycle it back to Off. Even leaving the car and shutting the door has no effect. |

I've got both my keys on my profile and two seat positions saved if that is what you mean?

If you unbind them from keys then it always defaults to Guest and you have to choose the profile when you get in.
If you have a key A bound to a profile A, and unlock with key B and try to switch to profile A, it asks for the username/password to do that. WT flying F? Is this driver profile some kind of bank account? I guess i will try logging in to A with key B and try also tying A to key B. Seems to be the only way to swap keys and not swap profiles. Guess both of our phones can be logged in as profile A account for remote start. |

The following worked in my 540i: deactivate "driver recognition". The car will now not automatically select a profile, but the good news is that, regardless of which key you use, you can simply select the profile you want without entering any password or email etc.
