BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Is there some way to buy or activate remote start after delivery of vehicle?

On my car you have to go into the settings on the infotainment screen, go to Car, then I believe climate controls, then HVAC preconditioning, there you will see remote start, activate that.

After that you should be able to remote start the car by pressing the lock button 3 times, you have to hold it on the 3rd press for a few seconds.

Dang I just looked in the car at that menu and I didn't see it let me try again.

Not an option. You can build in order to buy pre delivery.

Hence my original question.

This video pretty much details it, it should be roughly if not the same on ours. I'd run out to the car and check, but it's cold out there buddy

Oh damn, my bad.

Yeah I purchased my car off the dealer showroom floor, so I guess it must have came specc'ed that way. I didn't know remote start was an option.

I wonder if it can be unlocked via those Bimmer coding apps, but that's something I've never played with before. Hopefully someone else will come by and sort it out.

Yup, hence is it software coding, fuse, relay, etc.?

Guess I will have to call the dealer.

In the app it's lumped in with the climate pre conditioning on the right side of the lock/unlock/headlight/horn control section etc for me at least! Ordered the option originally so not sure if it is any different.

I don't even get to ask if you tried restarting it.. dang!

I'm a few thousand miles from the car so can't test right now, but neither of these options start for you? I'm 99% sure the upper right option started it on delivery day for me.

Yep that’s the button for it, it takes over the “pre-ventilation” option

I believe UK and Europe cars don't get this.

Can anyone confirm if I'm correct ?

I believe this is true due to emissions regulations

Might just need to wait for their servers to update. These things aren't always immediate.
