Can my BMW have it?

It depends on the car's software, so we check before anything is booked.

Does your BMW have iDrive 7 or newer?

How you'll use it

Centre button, three times to start. Three more times to switch it off.

Or the MyBMW app, on cars that support it.

Made for your drive. On a public road, the Highway Code says a parked car must not be left unattended with its engine running (rule 123).

How a remote session works

  1. Check your car first

    Send the model, year, reg and what you'd like. We check it can be done remotely.

  2. Get the right cable

    An ENET cable connects your car to a laptop. We confirm the right cable and setup before you buy one.

  3. We take you through it

    At your appointment we guide you through connecting the car and explain the changes as we make them.

“They coded remote start on my car and kept me updated throughout the whole process.”

Everything else we code

Remote start is one job of many. We work on BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and the A90 Toyota Supra. What's possible depends on your car, so ask us first.
