Prepare to pair again
Both physical key fobs must be in the car and the vehicle must be in Standby state. The second key requirement matters for pairing even though one authorized key permits the reset.

Add the main key
On OS9 open Apps Menu, Keys, Digital Key, then Add main key and follow the display. Alternatively, use BMW Digital Key in the My BMW App and follow its pairing prompts; BMW documents this route for re-pairing. Confirm the new key works before relying on it without the physical keys.
