Yes the BMWi app applies to the key also. You can use the BMW connected drive app on many BMWs today.
Some protective cases have the slots for items like headphones , USB, Charger etc.
The i8 key case will be something unique to the car.
A similar key will be introduced on the next BMW 7er.
In the meantime - the streets stand still....
