G20 M340i - Digital Key Card Not Unlocking Doors

So after going through the simple process activating the Digital Key Card in my M340i, I find that it will start the car engine but it will not lock/unlock the doors. Does this have something to do with the comfort/access features in my profile? I essentially have every box checked to use all the features and thought maybe this could conflict with the NFC. I'm not sure where to begin to start the troubleshooting process or if I should take to the dealer. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Did you place the card against the door handle?

I found that the place on the door handle that worked for me was not where I intuitively expected it to be.

If you haven't already, I suggest you try the card all along the door handle and at a variety of angles.

Center of the card against center of the handle works fine for me (through the wallet as well)

Yes, I placed the card exactly as described in the owner's manual. I'll probably mention this at dealership visit... clearly something is not working.

I had this same issue. The 07/2019.xx update seems to address it.

Stupid question. But do all G20s get the digital key card? Or only M340is? Or is it part of a package?

Same issue on my M440i. The phone and card don't work. I'm going to go to the dealership.

I had trouble using the card and my phone at first but trial and error I eventually found the correct place. I use the top corner of my phone against the serated area on the top inside of the handle. Same with my card and it opens everytime
