BMW Key Reader Configuration (Management setting)

Turns on BMW Key Reader Integration with either the KAI WebService, which uses the unit's VIN to retrieve data, or the legacy Generic Key Reader Interface service (GKI), which requires Internet Explorer and uses a .BIN file to retrieve data.

Note: If KAI WebService is selected, the Allow Add Vehicle Manually management setting must also be turned on in order to add new units with the KAI Key Reader.

If KAI WebService is selected:

  • the Distribution Product Number and Outlet Number fields are required.
  • a Prioritize Key Reader Data indicator () is available to have the system use KAI key reader data for the unit's fuel and mileage on agreements, instead of data retrieved from a Connected Car telematics device (for locations with Connected Car Integration). In this case, if data cannot be found from the KAI WebService, the application will use data from the unit's Connected Car device, if applicable.

See "Key Reader Integration" for more information.
