We are in Canada and have a Canadian car (2014 528iT) - with all the subscription connected drive services activated.
We use the BMW Remote app - downloaded from the Google Play store site.
You sign in once using your connected drive user name and password - then to access it each time you simply put in a 4 digit pin
It provides the following "remote" features:
- Climate (activate the fan - now or at a specific time.
- Lock
- Horn
- Headlight Flash
- Unlock - but for that one you need to dial a number an give the person your password.
It also has a "maps" feature (similar to Google maps) but also lets you locate your vehicle as long as you are withing a 1 km range of it.
I can also go into Google maps and send a destination to the car - but that does not require the app - just the connected drive service.
Cheers
Jim Cash
