I paid $250 from Ali Baba express for my remote engine starter for my F36 440i & it works with the key that comes with the car just got to ask them would have been less if I asked them first so I suggest you message them before purchasing & letting them know you want it to work with original key fob !!!!
As of 9/11/2023, BimmerTech no longer sells the required extra key fob mentioned at 2:25. I don't know what they were selling it for when it was available, but I checked with my local dealer and the cost of the fob plus programming was $700 +tax. That's an all-in cost of roughly $1400. Contrary to what some TH-cam videos suggest, you cannot simply pair any used fob to the vehicle by holding it to the steering column. While that procedure is required when adding a fob, it must be done with a fob that has been coded to the specific vehicle by BMW or someone with very specialized (expensive) equipment and knowledge. I fault BMW that such a solution is even necessary on such late model vehicles.
Hello, My car X3 F25 and this device is fitting, so the cables sequence will be same as this video with the same colours ? Also do you have delivery to Canada?
Yeah I agree, I don’t want to turn my car on 4 times or more a day. On my tundra it would only turn the truck off if I got in and pressed the brake pedal before inserting my key. Wish this system was the same then I’d definitely order it
Hi, since we need to leave a key in car for remote start , confort acces will still work , can i Close car with key in my pocket just by handle touch? Because i notice if i left key in car, i will not be albe to Close car by touching door handle is detecting key….
my harness doesn't have purple and yellow, it has purple and grey. your instructions also don't say insert the purple back into the first wire you remove. do you have updated instructions, my car is throwing check engine lights and won't go into drive
I have a bmw x5 2014 m sport, I installed the remote star, it does not turn on I have checked all the cables and they are fine, what could be the problem?
do you have some for G series ( G02 ) . also all ( cheap or tweaked ) remote starts conflicts with alarm system . with miss or fake alarms . what is your point about that .
Our remote start is compatible with your car, you can confirm it by decoding your VIN. We have tested our product in cars with alarms, and never noticed any problem regarding alarm.
Hey Brian! Our Remote Start range depends only on OEM BMW key fob, so any distance you are able to lock/unlock your car will do.Our Remote Start range depends only on OEM BMW key fob, so any distance you are able to lock/unlock your car will do.

You are right - for the procedure you'd need to have a 2nd key that is paired with your very car :)
Thanks for that comment! Cheers!

Sucks you have to start it again after you open the door.

Will this work with or are you guys gonna have drone capability to start the vehicle with mobile devices?
Unfortunately we won’t have drone module compatibility but we’re currently working on increasing the range of the remote start.
