There is no function for remote start with this service. Did you download the BMW remote app? You will need your BMW Assist user name and password to log in and get started. You can call bmw assist at 888-333-6118 to get setup.

Is BJ and a ham sandwich too much to ask from an 80k car?

I use Android and I have the remote climate control function for my M4.
We should just be getting an update with the function for iPhone in the near future then. No reason android can turn on climate control and iPhones can't

Do not believe it takes the car to any temp, it just uses the outside air to ventilate the hot air inside out. You wont get your car very cool but it will help getting the really hot air out so it will be more comfortable!

How did you guys get the app to work? I log in to the app fine with the info from my dealer. But when I try to do something it fails to send all the time. Just curious if there's something I need to do in the car. Thx

Well there was a procedure to follow and in the EU (don't know outside the EU) it's not standard on every car. Did you connect your car to your account using the VIN? Or did your dealer do this for you?

And I do have ventilation, it is a different "tab" as the lock and horn etc. again I don't do not know if it is different outside the EU.
