X5 M50i Remote start not available
Hi.
I picked up my 2021 X5 M50i and I've tried everything to get remote start to work. I've logged into my connected drive account in my car and everything is linked. I even checked under the climate control menu and couldn't find the remote start option. All permissions and privacy settings are accepted and I even checked the online store to see if I can purchase it and its not available. I called BMW and they just adivised me that its not available on my vehicle. Does anyone know how I can get remote start to work on my X5 M50i. |

Thanks.
Please could you explain what FA means. I’m new to the terminology 🥲 Also would this affect the warranty? |

If it’s available it’s in your climate control settings. Mine is not here at the moment but I can give you the menu steps later today.
It’s under preconditioning if that helps. Will need to toggle the dial to the right for the submenu iirc |

When it was first introduced, only Canada and USA cars had this feature. It’s 2024 now, I believe other countries have been added to the list, but I don’t know which ones.
OP, it says your location is South Africa? This may be one of the excluded countries. Use a VIN decoder to find out if your car has the option. |
