Iphone App Question

I keep seeing threads relating to the Iphone application and the car's climate control. I'm waiting for my car to arrive so cant run a test, but what does this feature actually do?

Thanks

Simon

Hi,

It let's You start the climate control a few minutes before going to your car which is nice in the winter and summer periods.

It has some other nice features (like locking and unlocking the doors,finding your car or have it blink the lights or sound the horn)

Regards,

Elie

Not all the cars support the remote climate control. Mine doesn't, the option is not even available in the app. I suspect you need some kind of auxillary options to allow it to work.

Only the air conditioning with "extended" features has the remote feature. This is standard on most cars but, for example, not the 520d in the UK,,

In the UK extended features means,, dual zone auto climate, automatic air recirculation and solar sensor.

It can only activate the fans and circulate the air, so only really any use in the summer. In the Winter it just blows cold air around, which isn't so useful (as I've discovered).

I've had my 520d for just 2 days so still learning all the gadgets. An earlier post says extended features are not standard on 520's in the UK. Mine certainly has dual zone climate control (driver and passenger, just vents in the rear). Not sure what automatic air recirculation is, nor solar sensor.

I really like the idea of this remote feature for cold mornings......just don't know how to tell if I can use it?????? Have completed the online application form for Connected Drive, am waiting on a login.

Anyone know if I have this whilst I wait impatiently? Thx
