Three Convenient Ways To Remote Engine Start Your BMW
BMW Connected App
By accessing the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you will be able to download the BMW Connected app onto your smartphone device to access various remote services for your BMW. You could manage the infotainment system, climate control settings, and engine start, all from the app. Also, through the app, you can access the function in the iDrive multimedia system that lets you schedule when the remote engine start happens.
iDrive Infotainment Display
If you prefer scheduling the engine to start ahead of time and don't want to use your smartphone device, you can access the same function manually through your BMW's infotainment display. You will need to check or uncheck the box for the "Starting Engine For Climate Control" function, letting you schedule a time for the engine and climate control to start to get into your BMW and begin driving right away.
BMW Display Key
Lastly, if your BMW is equipped with the BMW Display Key, you can start the engine while standing nearby or schedule the next engine start to have your BMW ready for your next trip. This helpful key has a small touchscreen that lets you access those functions, so read the owner's manual for all the details about fully taking advantage of this key's benefits.
