The installation of the BMW remote start retrofit kit takes up to 4 hours and doesn’t involve any coding. It’ll require disassembling the front passenger's footwell areas to get to the electronic module. So, it’s best to take your time, be gentle and diligent in keeping track of every screw and clip to reinstall them correctly. Dylan will walk you through all steps.

Thanks to these guys we are able to retrofit so much!
Always happy to help :)
The only challenging part was my F36 had completely different wire colors on 3 of the harnesses. A quick call to bimmer tech and they told me to just follow the pin outs. It worked but is nice to have double confirmation of pin and wire color.
Took about 1.5 hrs with breaks to warm up
I had the same problem too! I ended up following the pin outs on the video and it works like a charm now!
I was thinking about doing this on my f36 but seems difficult
What ever happened to plug-in-play this is a little to much to handle.
I consider myself highly mechanically inclined and I’ve worked on plenty of cars but I’ve never seen a mod require so much modifications to work.
Looks harder than it actually is :) Following the video and PDF instruction you shouldn’t have any problems installing our kit.
@@bimmer-tech I know I can do it, that’s not the problem, I’ve just never seen a mod require so much modifications to install it.
@@James_Edward59 when you have highly electronic cars i can understand why there is this much electrical work needing to be done. along with all the hard work the team have put into making it customizable just by having certain doors and windows opened or closed rather than having it work through an app or needing to plug into the module to be able to change preferences. i dont think its that much modification when the car originally would not let it start without you needing your foot on the brake and a key fob.
Would you happen to know an easier way? Because I need to do this asap
Can i have link to we're I can buy it and how much ?
What if someone knows i have this installed if they force into my car they can take the key from the box put a battery in it and in this case they would just be able to drive off?
Can it happen? Yes. Is it likely to happen? Don't think so :P
What about if you leave it on and accidentally unlocked, wouldn’t that mean somebody could actually take the car!!??
Exactly the same thing would happen if you didn't have the remote start - someone might get in and drive off. Our module only turns OFF the engine started with the remote start when you open the door.
Very cool idea. But the price needs to be under $250 before an average user will consider it as F30 is kind of getting old now. The price is may be okay for new car you just got for over 50k.
Thanks for the comment! We genuinely believe that, despite it seems high, the price adequate to the product and after-sales service quality :)
yeah let make it easy for anyone to steal your car by leaving a key in your car! NO THANKS
We don't think it's any easier than without Remote Start
Waiting for the big screen like iX
At 16:07 it says, "...place the black and red wire into the correct side of the connector." "Correct side?" And which side would that be?
Everything is included in the instruction :)
What happens if I don't have a green wire? I'm on step 09:36 My green wire(45) and my pink wire(49) are both black and white.
Ok, that's not an issue! If you want to order the remote start, go ahead and do it and our support team will help you out with the install process :)
Most unsafe thing you can do is this mod for your bmw relay attack what you gonna do about that?
Make sure you lock the car whiles starting the car lol
So for a 2017 F30 the wires colors don't match. What are we supposed to do
One of our Support Specialists already contacted you through a ticket about this situation. Please check your mailbox.
Wouldn’t it allow somone to steal the car tho ?
No it wouldn't. The key has no power on its own so there's no chance someone could get in and drive off without having the second key on them.
So what happens if I lose my main fob and unlock the doors with my spare key blade?
Nothing much. You'll open the door and it might happen that the alarm will go off.
What’s the farthest I can be away from the car for the remote start to work?
it's quite individual thing - you can test it with your car and with your key without the remote start
Would these instructions work for Right-Hand Drive cars?
Yes, the FEM is always on the passenger’s side so there is no difference whether this is a right or left hand drive car.
Does this have an app to start from afar, if not can you add one using drone mobile?
It doesn't have an app for now and you can't add one.
Does it turn it off if you open up the trunk with the key fob? Wouldn’t be convenient if it did
It'll turn off. It's a necessary safety feature.
Does this work on a 330e. Like to have an hot engine when driving off.
We haven't tested it in hybrids yet. But we're actually working to increase the compatibility, so if you'd be open for a cooperation you can contact us at support@bimmer-tech.net and we'll discuss how we might work together.
@@bimmer-tech sended you a mail
Would this work with Manual transmission?
Sadly not
Ight so now make this for the new supra and watch how fast you sell that kit. Use the guy who did the android auto as the test model and have at it. I'll send money today for that kit lol
Does this work for manual transmission?
It's for automatic transmission cars only.
How is this for a F22? I'm assuming for the pins/wire colors they would be different?
You're right. Wire colors may vary depending on the car model. However, in our installation instructions we explain step-by-step which pin needs to go where.
If in a middle of a trip i need to change a fuse...i must disconect battery...🤣🤣🤣 crazy ehehehe nuts
What about security? If there's a spare keyfob inside the car permanently, can't a person break in and start the engine and take off?
Hey! When you turn on your car with our Remote Start, the car remains shut, so no-one can get in. You have to open it yourself and when you open the door, the engine shuts off.
Can this be installed on a Right hand drive bmw 435i from Sigapore?
Yes, the FEM is always on the passenger’s side so there is no difference whether this is a right or left hand drive car.
so when there is a key in the car at all time does that not drain the car battery more? also doesnt that mean that everyone can get in your car when you have comfort acces?
No it doesn't. The key has no power on its own so there's no chance someone could get in using comfort access without having the second key on them.
If you watched the video to the end they explain that the fob in the car gets no power until you use the second fob and press the lock 3x's.
This look like it'll have alot of problems, there's a reason why kies ditched it
What are your concerns exactly? You can always contact our support team to clarify what would be the biggest issue for you during installation. Guys will try to help you out.
Wait, Brian ditched this? When?
I dont like that I need to have a spare key into the car.
You are right - it might be an inconvenience of some sort. However, we think the feature is cool enough to let you swallow that bitter pill :)
This is not what I call plug and play…
Do you think it is too complex to qualify it as plug&play feature?
Why would I logically leave a key fob in the car with a permanent power supply 🤨 why does my mustang seem so much smarter than my f30
Not with permanent, but temporary :) Key fob inside the car gets power only after remote start sequence is executed.
@@bimmer-tech it's crazy how many people aren't understanding this concept.
Interesting but very expensive for just to remote start your car plus you loose your spare key and you make your car much easier to steal lol
George, comparing that to the features of other brands, we think it's good value for money, but we agree without a context it seems quite pricey. But it is just not easier to steal. One, the car stay shut while you turn the engine remotely, two - the engine will automatically turn off while you open the door.
Cheers!
Dont do that
Why is that?
Would it work on F31 (3 series wagon)?
Yes, it would.
