@opasha, I am not sure, it could be.
But, regarding the Auto start/stop, you don't need to code it anymore. BMW have changed it to follow the last settings already. Unlike my 2012 F10, I have to code it.

If you don't feel comfortable, just hire someone to do it and ask questions. . Hopefully they are kind enough to answer them. Some shops are charging arms and legs for this free knowledge.

That's annoying. I wonder why they code everything at the factory so differently for different markets.

Regulations for the sake of regulations. Starts from the stupid orange reflectors in US and ends with even more stupid compulsory stop-n-go in EU to cut down CO2 (god I miss the days of EU-1 when you could have a decent engine w/o paying a fortune for it).

Proceeded to coding today for the first time ever... no rocket science, everything seems to have went smooth and sound. Went with easy stuff first and will test it out tomorrow (unlocked movie formats, DVD in motion, etc.) to make sure everything works as intended.
Now, onto some important notes I discovered at this stage. 1) The trunk actually opens and closes from the button inside the cabin (and I reckon via the key fob as well) in my vehicle - I didn't have to code it. Same goes for folding mirrors. I could assume same vehicles in UK have this enabled form the factory as well (since BMW's production of cars for CY is pretty much the same as for UK). 2) The auto stop'n'go function in F15 is located in a different place than F10/similar cheat sheets suggest. It's actually in BDC_BODY, 3023 TcMaster2 and called TCM_MSA_DEFAULT_OFF and TCM_MSA_MEMORY. Since I hate the stop'n'go in general and never use the Eco driving mode, I just coded in the DEFAULT_OFF (aktiv) leaving the MEMORY one as it is (nicht_aktiv). I kid you not i was screaming "YES" when I turned the ignition OFF/ON and the bloody stop'n'go was OFF from the start - no more forgetting to press the disable button. |

You know? I live in South Texas and we have summer 10months out if the year and we have 100 to 104F on a daily basis. That being said, BMW should allow certain vehicles to have remote start, that is because the inside of the vehicle is super hot! And the AC takes about 5 minutes to cool the interior off... My sister had a baby and I was going to the doctor and the car was so hot that I had to let it cool for 5min and then get inside. I left my SUV on for 2 hours to ensure that when we got out of the doctor office, it would be fresh (baby is 30days old). BMW, please add the start up by key because there are places with either too hot or too cold weather!! |

P.S. On a side note - not a big fan of anything that can be done with a car remotely. Just another loophole for thieves/etc. |

Well, at the place I work, thieves have stolen about 15 cars in a 6 month period, thieves have even broken into other to steal stuff or caps and Morris lol. We live acrros the border and when they take a car, they take them to Mexico. Surprisingly, two years and half working there, no one ever touched my X5, X6, 335 or 535. |

Do you have the hardware and software setup?
1) ENET Cable (Purchase from ebay or amazon) 2) E-Sys 3.24.3 with Latest PSDZDATA file and patch files and token. I've done some coding just recently on my own and its not too hard to get started. A lot of details on how to get started is in *********. But getting the software is the tricky part. i'm new but pm if you need some help. |

I think there was an option for proper remote heating and cooling on the BMW F15 price list that can then be activated through an app to get proper heating and cooling. From what I can remember it was quite a pricey option around Ł900. |

Heating only though, not cooling as far as I know. For cooling the engine has to be running to power the AC compressor. The Aux heater uses a fuel powered heater made by 'Webasto' there are petrol and diesel fueled variants. Buses, boats, lorries and some motorhomes have them too. I had one in my recent X5 4.8iS - it was great though it seriously limits the vehicles ability to wade through water due to the heaters exhaust etc being mounted low down under the car.

OMG!
92k BMW don't have remote start! 25k friend'a Chevy has remote start! Now that's embarrassing! I babysit my niece every day and I have to go outside, turn the X5 on and wait 10min for it to be cool off... I leave my X5 on for an hour or longer when going to the doctor, or shopping, school. Today is 104F! BMW wants to meet those MPG digits, but just as they added start stop and we decide when to or not to use it, we should have remote start and use it as we need or pleased! |

That's mean they updated your car's software and you need the new database now. I'll PM you the link.
