How do I unlock and lock my vehicle with the Digital Key on my smartphone in my 2025 MINI Cooper 2 Door?

Depending on the country of delivery, equipment and mobile end device, you can unlock or lock your MINI Cooper (2024) with the MINI Digital Key or the MINI Digital Key Plus on your compatible smartphone or your compatible Apple Watch. Unlocking activates all functions for starting the vehicle. While the MINI Digital Key uses the "near field communication" (NFC) mobile standard, data is transferred with the MINI Digital Key Plus via "ultra-wideband" (UWB) and Bluetooth®. To unlock or lock your vehicle with the MINI Digital Key, you must hold your mobile device to the door handle. The MINI Digital Key Plus automatically unlocks your vehicle when you approach and starts a welcome scenario.

 

The MINI Digital Key makes it possible to unlock, lock, and start the vehicle using a digital key.

 

MINI Digital Key can be used with a compatible smartphone or other compatible mobile device. 

 

To unlock and start a vehicle with a compatible smartphone, this function must be offered by the smartphone manufacturer. The MINI app is able to check whether the smartphone and vehicle are compatible as well as determine which functions are supported.

 

Each vehicle can be provided with a main digital key. Additional digital keys can be shared and then deleted.
