Hi,
I have successfully created a digital key for my BMW car. I see the key in my wallet and have locked/unlocked the car with the key successfully. I'm not, however, able to add the key to my watch. I get an error indication the following:
"Cannot Add Car Key
There was a problem adding this car key to wallet."
Any ideas how to correct this?
Hi, I have a series 6 watch and have this issue. The phone key works fine but the card will not add to my watch. I'm on WatchOS 7.5

Hello Copoly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you’re unable to add a car key to your Apple Watch. We’d like to help.
Check out Use your iPhone or Apple Watch as a car key, specifically the section under “What you need to add a car key to the Wallet app.”
Are you using an Apple Watch Series 5 or later with the latest version of watchOS. Here’s how to Update your Apple Watch.
Have a nice day.
That is a good question. Apple Watch 4 does have Near Field Communication (NFC) so I'm not sure why it doesn't work. The cynic in me thinks it may be disabled in Watch 4 so people like me buy a new watch. Maybe someone has a better answer.
Thank you for the reply. Upon checking, I have Apple Watch Series 4. I just ordered a Series 6.
Copoly,
We're happy to help out.
Take care!
Just curious. I have the same issue. What feature/technology in a Series 5/6 is not present in a Series 4 that would allow this feature to work? Thanks.
