Remote Services is the only one I really use and that's just so that I can use the mobile App to turn the climate on before I get in the car and also to send it post codes for the satnav.

I have only extended RTTI on my 2014 car (for £40 a year) but I am still able to send addresses to the car from the BMW app despite not paying for the other options. I guess Remote Services may work as well (they still show on the app) although I don't use them, so haven't tried .

+1 just get the RTTI (you can get one month for a quid and then extend) is the only worthwhile option.

I never really unlock my car or flash the headlights or turn the fan on remotely :-). Well, tell a lie, did it once to check it worked but then never bothered again.

Never use it, just a gimmick to me. Don't think I will pay for it when it expires, only thing worth paying for is the map updates.

Yes - just tested it.

It appears that all the pointless stuff (flash headlights etc) is still enabled too.

I find unlock car very handy when I go to collect my car after servicing/repairs, I can swap all my stuff over to my car before I go in to exchange keys!
