How Do I Know If My BMW Has Remote Start?

So, how do I know if my BMW has Remote Start? Start by looking at the setting of the iDrive sub-menu or Premium Package to see if “Remote Engine Start” is listed, and it will likely appear if you have the iDrive system 7.0 or Live Cockpit installed. One important thing to remember about your BMW Remote Start app system is that it will automatically turn off the engine if you don’t start driving within 15 minutes. This is to conserve fuel. Other features associated with the BMW Remote Start app include: 

  • BMW Key Fob: Grab your key fob and press the lock button three times within one second. The engine should turn on automatically. Turn the engine off the same way.
  • BMW Display Key: Find the “Preconditioning Setting” on your display and hit the fan symbol. Click “Activate Now” and “Engine Start” to get going.
  • BMW Connected App: The BMW Remote Start app allows you to start the car using a compatible smartphone, as well as set your cabin temperature ahead of time.

How Do I Set Up BMW Remote Start?

When you have BMW Remote Start installed into your luxury ride, the setup process is simple. Here’s how it’s done:

  1. Click into the touchscreen display, and navigate to “Car” and then “Settings”.
  2. Scroll to the right and click on “Climate Comfort”, and then “Preconditioning/Ventilation”.
  3. Click on “Remote Engine Start,” then “Starting Engine for Climate Control”.
  4. Press “OK”, and your car should be ready to go for your next drive.
