You know the saying, "There's an app for that," well, they weren't kidding. One nice little party trick when I picked up my BMW M2 was the availability of BMW Connected.
Essentially, it's an app on my telephone that provides me with greater details, information, the location and a variety of functions related to my car. At first I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but if it's a 95 degree day and I want to ventilate my car before getting in, you soon realize this app can come in handy.
There's just one thing that's missing.
Why can't I leverage the app on my smartphone to serve as a key to my car? Instead I've got to carry around this clunky fob, which is actually getting bigger with some vehicles.
In a day and age where the Tesla Model 3 uses a "phone key" to permit access to the car, we're left wondering: What is taking traditional automakers SO long to ditch traditional keys and move ahead with "keys" on our smartphones and watches?
What say you, Spies?
