correct. Comfort Access' keyless start feature requires a Comfort Access compatible key. This key itself is at least $200-$300 alone from BMW and requires further programming. On the programming side, not 100% sure how that will play nicely with this service offered here.

With that and my general understanding of what's going on, I'm guessing keyless start can't be retrofitted properly. To get a key from BMW, you need to call in your VIN so they can cut your key pattern. Alternatively, I can see how this feature can still be retrofitted if you're okay with a blank key.

Ultimately, vendor has to chime in on keyless start. It's a pretty big part of comfort access IMO.
