BMW X5: Setting up a PIN - Driver profiles
Setting up a PIN
A driver profile with recognition cannot be activated without vehicle key and without digital key.
In this case, a PIN can be set up to activate the driver profile.
Countries in which ConnectedDrive is not available: If a PIN was not set up or the PIN is not known, the driver profile cannot be activated.
Countries in which ConnectedDrive is available: If a PIN was not set up or the PIN is not known, the driver's profile can be activated with the access data of the corresponding ConnectedDrive account.

- Setting up PIN.
- Canceling recognition using the vehicle key.
- Switching to the guest profile.
The handed over vehicle key can then no longer be used to access the personal driver profile.
Selecting a driver profile
Depending on the recognition setting, the driver profile will be selected automatically.
If the guest profile is active, the driver profile will be selected on the Welcome screen or via iDrive.
A PIN may have to be entered.

Switching synchronization with the ConnectedDrive account on/off

The synchronization with the ConnectedDrive account is enabled when a driver profile is created or via iDrive:
