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?
Good sign. Send us your reg and we'll confirm it before anything is booked.
Pre-LCI models built before iDrive 7 don't natively support remote engine start.
Plenty else can still be coded on it.
Send the reg. We'll check which iDrive your car has and whether remote start is supported.
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
-
Check your car first
Send the model, year, reg and what you'd like. We check it can be done remotely.
-
Get the right cable
An ENET cable connects your car to a laptop. We confirm the right cable and setup before you buy one.
-
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.”

Rather do it in person? Bring your car to us in Blackburn by arrangement, or we come to you across Lancashire, Greater Manchester and the wider North West.
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.
Coding and hidden features
Make the car work the way you want it to.
On an M5 Competition, for one owner: auto start/stop that remembers the last setting, and heated seats that no longer switch on by themselves.
ALPINA, CS, CSL and GTS flashes
Factory software that changes how compatible BMWs drive.
530 BHP from 453650 NM from 550
A CS flash on a 2023 G87 M2. Depending on the car and software, a flash can change throttle response, gear changes and steering.
CarPlay, retrofits and conversions
New equipment and imports, coded to work with your car.
Diagnostics and software
Find the real fault before anything gets replaced.
An F30 330d's iDrive kept showing "No Signal". The cause was a failing battery dropping to 9 to 10 volts. A new battery, registered to the car, and zero fault codes left.
AK CODE is an independent specialist, not affiliated with BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce or Toyota.
