Presume this means BMW link the key to your car's ECU or whatever and load it with unique encryption keys?

When I brought the new 'non-mated' key near my i8, it started reading 'connected' on the digital display. That tells me that encryption is configured as it is coded for the VIN - in turn creating an instant connection.
Mind you, despite being connected, it was non-functional until I actually mated the key.
