Will my MINI Digital Key still work if the “Passive Entry” setting (Comfort Access feature) has been deactivated following a smartphone update?

Yes. Your MINI Digital Key is still stored on your smartphone, even if the “Passive Entry” setting (Comfort Access feature) has been deactivated following a smartphone update. If the Express mode or Comfort access is switched off or the Screen lock is turned on, the Key holder will need to use authentication methods including Face ID, Touch ID, Pin, Password or an alternative method as established by mobile carrier.
 
If the Passive mode is turned back on, the Smartphone can stay in the user's pocket and the car will automatically unlock when approaching and lock when leaving. If the user turns off “Passive Entry”, authentication on his or her smartphone is required. 
 

The availability of individual features depends on the model, equipment, smartphone model, and software version.
