Remote Start etc?
For current M5 owners and those in the know for the US market.
Will the M5 have remote start and remote climate control? Can you use your Iphone to adjust the temp, run the radio etc? Or is it only on the key fob? Hoping you can use an app on your phone to set the AC on hot days. Do you need any special BMW App? Any info would be appreciated. Be nice to know but I will find out Sept 6 in Munchen! Thanks |

Hey, can't comment for US but air con can be done from iphone app in UK/Europe. Plus locking/unlocking, flashing headlights (good one if you've lost your car in a festival carpark ) and Google searches which you can then send to your car to be opened in Sat Nav....can't see any option to remote start though

In the USA the functionality of the My BMW Remote app is limited to locking and un locking the doors, flashing the lights and honking the horn. All things you could do from your door fob. Seems Kinda useless and neutered if you ask me....

You can do this thing from the app where you 'precondition' your car, which turns on heated seats and air con any time you want. That's average, but all the rest of the functionality appears bizarre to me. Honking horns and flashing lights - useless.

There is no remote ignition or remote climate control on the 2012s. 2013 I am not sure but doubt it.
