Remote start - gone
Did the recent software update. App now says ventilate instead of remote start. Trippl clicking the lock button no longer remote starts.
What gives? |

Have you tried going back into settings and enabling remote start with engine? It's a setting in iDrive.
Legal requirement. Some countries disallow running the engine with no passenger inside, so remote start is effectively illegal. You have to reselect the option that you understand that it's illegal in some areas and set it to "On". |

It’s called puffing and is actually illegal here in Colorado as well as most other states. Here they say it increases auto theft...well that may have been the case a few years ago before remote start was wide spread.
I have used the app while still shopping in the mall or watching a movie to start my cars 10min prior due to the cold weather here at times. Hate how laws that are based on issues that have since been resolved never get changed. |

You need to re-enable it.

Yup. Same thing happened to me. Of course you will find remote start under the climate settings and not the key fob settings. Why would they put it under key fob? You know, that little thing you use to remote start the car?
