Comfort Access is Remote Starter?
HI, late night question,
can you start your car remotely with comfort access? if somebody says yes, you will make my week. (edmonton gets V-E-R-Y cold in the winter). Thank you. |

No. Move to the Best Coast so you aren't so cold.

haha... I know, but edmonton is paying for the 135i...
I was confused because the canadian brochure says: "Comfort Access, for keyless entry and engine start-up" you can start the car without the key IN... not start the car remotely WITH the key. but I get it now.. I am just a dreamer in love with a car. |

I was asking the dealer about that when I ordered the car. Im getting comfort access also. The dealer says they will not put in remote start because of all the electronics already in the car. I ask him if I go with aftermarket can they program the comfort access keyfob to work with that so I dont have 2 remotes. The guy tells me that getting any aftermarket remote start will void warranty.

Just get in the car and drive... if my CX-7 and Yaris can both pump out hot air after 20-30 seconds I'm sure the 1 series can.
Idling a car is hard on it anyway, and bad for the environment.

The Jetta has a 2.0L, and in MY experience, the bigger the engine, the longer it takes to warm up. It really all comes down to my work building a heated parkade. |

wow, I finally caught on my sleep...
I don't care about a remote starter really... it comes with a block heater and that is more than enough.
