To All F30 Coders!!!
hello peeps,
I have an inquiry. I am contemplating coding my car but would only get started if these few features were possible. Is there a way to code the car to : 1. Remote start the engine from fob 2. if not 1, maybe remote engage ignition from fob 3. or remotely enable heated seats from fob Winter is killing me and I want to make my driving winter experience completely seamless from indoors to car. Any info will help, thanks! |

Go download BMW remote app on your smartphone, you may have access to "precondition car" option, which lets you turn on the climate control from your phone from anywhere prior to getting into your car.

Also, pre-condition only turns on the fans to circulate outside air. So, it is really only useful in summer as it somewhat cools the car. |

Hey wayman519, maybe you have slight misunderstanding of coding. It is just a way of editing config files, like what you do with your Linux box (EDIT: or windows registry - this is more like it). You basically can't achieve any fancy feature that wasn't designed by BMW through coding, like you just can't make Windows xp do windows8 stuff just by editing its registry...
But, for the heated seat there might be a possibility as I vaguely remember seeing an option to set the heating seat on during power on.. if this could happen maybe when you press the button on your fob it will unlock the car and turn on the heated seat. However even if this is possible I cannt see it offer much help though because we are just talking about turning it on maybe 10 seconds faster. . |

If you are in the U.S. you cant. It is not available here. And quite frankly the app is annoying, hard to use, and has a huge delay.

only turning the fan on, not with a/c or hot air so can only be useful in the summer days. |

I don't understand your disclaimer or HP question. NAV disclaimer is a single code change as is the unit change for the sports display. They are both in the cheat sheets. What issue(s) are you having? |

If so, is the setting now showing on your CIC to change the units of measure?

CIC = Your Head Unit, aka Stereo, aka iDrive system. Go into iDrive settings, and check if the screen is there to change the units of measure, and that if it is, it is set properly.

So, once you code this, go to the Menu -> Settings -> Units screen and change the Power and Torque units to the units you want (HP and ft-lb). Then go back to the Sports Display and the display should be correct. |
