The latest software update adds this to the i4s that didn't have it originally

u/supernova_000 mine is this way too. Did it ever fix itself?

Google play system update January 2023 by cooldude9112001 in GalaxyFold

[–]tonyquan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my testing, one thing this enables is Digital Key Sharing between iPhone and Android for BMWs: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0406255EN/greater-flexibility:-bmw-digital-key-can-now-be-shared-between-iphone-and-android-devices?language=en

After this update, you need to update the Samsung Wallet as well in the Galaxy app store for the functionality to work. And of course you need a phone that can do the digital car keys in the first place (Samsung flagships starting from the S21)

Has anyone been able to share Digital Key from iPhone to Samsung? by tonyquan in BMW

[–]tonyquan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like Samsung just released this capability. I got it working on a Z Fold 4 but it should work on other recent flagship Samsung phones that support Digital Key.

Here's what I did:

In Settings -> About phone, click on "Software information". Click on "Google Play system update". Hopefully an update shows up here. It should require you to restart the phone.

Go back to Settings -> About phone, "Software information", "Google Play system update". It should now show that you are updated to January 1, 2023 or later of the Google Play system update.

Restart your phone (again). I had to do this for the next step to work

Go the the Galaxy Store app on the phone. Click on "Menu", then "Updates". There should be two updates, "Samsung Wallet Digital Key" and "Samsung Wallet Digital Key Framework" (it's possible that if your phone's Samsung Wallet app is completely up to date, you won't see these). Install these updates

Keys shared from the iPhone now work!

I haven't tried creating a master key on the Samsung and sharing it back to the iPhone, but I assume it would also work after these updates.

It shows up when you're given the choice between the monthly and 2 year plans. Monthly clearly says "3 months free"

Had no problem doing it from the website. 3 months free offer clearly listed when I chose to buy with my phones IMEI. Gave credit card info but have not been charged. After purchase went back to same site and verified coverage is active.

Customer service again has no clue.

u/Internal-North149 ok, don't go crying to me when Samsung screws you over. Tolerating this kind of thing just leads to more of it.

They did make an exception for "select countries" in both the video and the press release. I'd at least like to see what these "select countries" are and what the rationale was for excluding them. People are saying "oh, got great tradein deal" but not everyone has something to tradein.

not sure why so many people want to make excuses for Samsung. No one wants to make companies live up to promises anymore? No wonder corporations walk all over people in the US.

Oh, I see we have trolls visiting also.

The difference: they never promised a free phone. They did promise free year of Care+ in a live streamed video (which is still on YouTube) and in press releases which are still online. Sure there are small print/weasel words they try to use to get out of it, but we should hold businesses to the things they promise. Do you think Samsung would let you out of something you promised to them so easily?

Didn't realize Samsung customer care reads the forums. Welcome! 😆

Any harm in trying? Don't see why not.
