my brother got jealous of me and is considering placing an order for an x5. does he need the $300 remote start option if he only cares to start the car via the app?

Yes, he does need it. Also might want to let him know that remote app start is only available for iOS phones at the moment. Currently not supported for Android phones.

Yes he does need the remote start option and $300 for the life of the loan is just pennies. I can’t go without remote start once I’ve had it.

Ok, why do people feel so strongly about wanting the remote start option. I've never had one so I don't know what I'm missing.

I live in Florida; where it is currently in the mid to high 90s. My car sits right outside my office window. Before I turn the car off I put it in max AC. So I simply start the car 3-4 mins before I leave and walk into a nice cool car vs walking into a sweltering sauna
