Question about BMW Connected app scheduled climatisation feature.
I'm yet to pick up my new G06 but had to chance to sync my CD app to it while I was testing it. I notice that there's a "Climatize Now" option within the app. My question is, if I wish to climatize my car via the app does it turn on the engine to cool/warm the cockpit or just gives electrical power to the blower fans to recirculate the current air inside?

Awesome! I was hoping for this answer. Any idea how long it'll keep the car running before turning it off. I'd imagine there a set time and it's not going to run indefinitely

This only works if you have Remote Start though so annoyingly doesn't work in the UK and many other European countries and we have "Ventilate Now" on our version of the app

Ah damn, I'm in Europe as well. What does the Ventilate Now option do then? Just blow the fans and recirculate the hot air inside?

There are flaps built into the car that open which prevent the build up of air pressure inside the car. If these flaps weren't built in...then it would be difficult to close the doors. So as the blower brings in fresh air and the pressure inside the cabin begins to build...the flaps are pushed open which in turn reduces the temperature inside the cabin by allowing the super heated air to escape to the exterior of the car. Again, it's not "conditioned/cooled" air blown into the cabin...but the air temp is a lot less than that what was built up inside the car on a hot day with the windows rolled up.

I had this on my 6GT and it worked well. It takes the extreme heath out of the car.
Not as good as remotely turning on the AC in the 45e off course. Don't do it to soon or it will be hot again. And you can do it 2 times max it think |
