Set up my phone to unlock the car
I can't remember what BMW calls it, but you can set up your smart phone to unlock and start the car, just like the plastic card does, using NFT.
The problem is, I have a Samsung Flip 4 phone, which when open, does not fit in the tray. Now I can fold it closed and it will fit, will use the inductive charging, etc. but when I'm doing the configuration for the car to recognize it, when I close it, it pauses the app. So setup cannot finish. I don't know how to get around this. Any ideas? And don't suggest that I get a new phone. This one is pretty new, and I mostly like it.

And I will still suggest you get a new phone, unless you’re ok with mediocrity.

The phone has to be in complete contact with the pad to synch...ergo, the flip phone might be problematic. Possible back door coding but I wouldn't know where to begin. Best of luck!

It occurred to me last weekend that I do occasionally leave my phone in the car which is now probably not such a good idea. Although honestly, except for a joy ride potential, the typical thief would probably prefer the phone to the car, for a quick flip. No such worry in the M4, which for some reason is not equipped with the NFT technology and also contains the anti-Millennial theft device (a clutch).
