I have a bunch of questions but what I'll start off with is does this work on a E60 with the key fob not having the removable battery? I have a 2008 LCI BMW 528i, very interested in this product!!
@@twinturbobeamer2407 as long as your E60 has the keyfob slot and push start button, it will work. you can de-solder the battery inside your keyfob for enhance security reasons but even with the battery inside it’ll work. It’s recommended to remove the battery in worst case scenario a master BMW tech who knows everything on the vehicle can’t undo all of the wiring to this upgrade kit and then steal your car, but that’s highly unlikely haha
@@IzzyE9X Yes I have the slot and a push button start, I'll be getting this kit real soon. Also did you have any feedback on the connectivity & performance of the app sending commands to the car?? How long does it take to send an unlock door command or remote start command?
@twinturbobeamer2407 with the keyfob, connectivity is great! If I press unlock there’s a slightly longer delay than the factory one but it’s so slight it doesn’t even matter- we’re talking like 0.4 of a second, but getting all these new features is way worth it. the app delay I’d say depends on how far you are. I’ve started my car from whole other cities and the delay is maybe 3-5 seconds. If the car is eye-sight away and I press unlock usually 2-4 seconds. I’ve never really timed it but considering my car can now unlock, start and be tracked worldwide, the wait didn’t matter for me haha
@@IzzyE9X Yeah you definitely just reassured me a lot, I appreciate how responsive and detailed you are about the product. This completely transforms the technology in the E chassis! Definitely will be buying in the near near future!!
Just had a remote start kit installed, and I’m buzzing about how much the key fob distance has increased. I’m trying to get my head around the other features that weren’t mentioned. I've noticed that when I remote start my car, I can’t turn it off with the start button-it only shuts off with the remote. Is there a safety feature I’m missing?
@IzzyE9X I bought the bavmod kit that you reviewed. I later came to realize I forgot to connect the start button harness that's why it only worked with the key start function and not the physical start button.
I just installed this kit and about 30 minutes of being away from my car, its like the battery dies. I have to break into my car, unplug the battery and plug it back in. It's like it's drawing too much power so the car disables itself. Do you know how to fix this?
@@IzzyE9X i was working with Bavmods and i figured out that the red that I wired into for the power cable under the seat was on the seat side of the harness, instead of the vehicle side of the harness. There must be a switch to prevent the other side of the harness to drain constant power. Switched it over to the other side and it works flawlessly. Just incase anyone has the same issue! Thanks again!

So the can bus connectors was causing my car to not respond once the car took a few minutes away it wouldn’t respond to anything so I wired up to the rear view mirror just like the video did just pay attention he does say something confusing about what wire taps into what wire but if you think about it I think he said orange to orange with brown line on the cable and then accidentally he said orange to green or something like that just think about it and you’ll get what he is trying to say lmk if you don’t get what he is trying to tell you
Btw I think I had to extend those cables and yes I removed the adapter from the crimp part I just chopped it off you could recrimp a extended cable but I just tied them up taped them and sent it
I wired my canbus up to the rear view and didn’t wire my 12v that they tell you to splice the seat power wire that connects to the connectors at the bottom I did that but that’s what was causing the system to not work once the car slept
So instead of wiring to that cable extend the cable with some of that gauge wire and extend it all the way to the battery in the back and tap straight into the battery if you experience battery dying because of this main reason could be that the battery isn’t AGM OEM my AGM battery could handle so much power when the car is off I listen to music for hours without the car telling me it’s going to die
