BMW X5: Guest profile - Driver profiles

Guest profile

The guest profile can be activated by any driver.

Vehicle settings that are entered when the guest profile is active will be stored in the guest profile.

In the following cases the guest profile is automatically active:

• A driver profile has not been created yet.
• No driver profile has been assigned to the vehicle key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
• No driver profile has been assigned to the digital key that was used to unlock the vehicle.

The following limitations apply:

• The guest profile cannot be renamed.
• It is not possible to assign the recognition to the guest profile.
• It is not possible to assign a PIN to the guest profile.
• ConnectedDrive countries: It is not possible to synchronize with a ConnectedDrive account.
